Day: March 28, 2017

Cracking open the Suicide Squad Box and it’s scaled down rule book, the ‘normal’ crew reputation/point total is 350 instead of 300.

Which makes perfect sense, since the two crews that come with the game are 348 (Joker’s Crew) and 350 (the Squad) points each.

It’s also interesting because of the funding rule, which grants a crew $500 per part of 150 reputation points.  At 300 points a crew would get $1000 total.  That additional 50 points grants $500 toward funding.

Funding is used to pay for additional equipment (extra weapon magazines, special gear) and for certain characters who have a cost to add them (hire them) to your crew.

After reading all the rules (finally) from the Batman Miniatures Game, I began to sort out what additional markers and tokens I’d need in order to play.  It looked like I’d still need objectives and possibly more sewer counters and lampposts.

I checked online for these items, which appear sold out at the usual online spots, so I found a place in the UK that made custom counters specifically for the game.

As I was adding items to my shopping cart, I remembered that the Suicide Squad Box Set was coming in today, and in addition to the 2 crews (miniatures), the box includes:

– 2 full-color die-cut card buildings.
– 4 die-cut Lamppost markers.
– 4 die-cut Sewer markers.
– 8 Take the Lead counters.
– 7 Objective markers.
– 4 six-sided dice.

So that takes care of all the extra stuff that I need.  I had ordered the ‘Take the Lead’ counters before I ordered this box, so I’ll have more of those.  And more dice is always good to have.

One day I may actually watch the movie.
