We realize that it's been quiet on the Adeptus Brew City site and in the Brew City Facebook Group, but rest assured that we are hard at work on new missions, and the behind the scenes planning for the Good, the Bad, & The Ugly 2019!

I've been hard at work updating the look of our packets for this year! Take a look below:

Hidden in that preview is some important info! Last year, you guys gave us some great feedback, and we listened! We bumped up each game to six full turns, and so that canny generals can be prepared as much as possible, we will continue to use a fixed number of game turns.

Mission Objectives!

We reduced some of the mission clutter as well! We heard your feedback loud and clear, some of the missions had too much book-keeping to be done in a timely manner. We wanted to offer objectives that were meaningful to the scenario, easy to keep record of, and in the case of the third mission, still provide some player choice.

Take a look at the Objectives for Mission 1, in this mission, you are required to lock-down a landing zone, while dealing with any resistance you may encounter. What a better way to show the might of your army than destroy your foe's biggest and best unit? Or possibly taking out the leader of the enemy forces all-together!

In each Mission, each player will compete to accomplish a Primary Objective, and in addition, will be competing against the turn limit to accomplish Secondary Objectives! Each set of Primary and Secondary Objectives are thematically paired to represent the important accomplishments necessary to invade, pacify, and conquer a planet!

Special Rules!

Each mission takes place under dangerous or otherwise in-opportune circumstances that affect a unit's abilities, or may just straight up hurt your units as they attempt to cross a hellish nightmare of a battlefield.

Additionally, in that mission, not only will units that can FLY have to watch out as they traverse the battlefield, but units that cower in the dirt may suffer similar fates!

Other missions see the cover of night provide cover to armies as they maneuver into position and prepare to strike, or see the nightmarish realities of the warp made manifest as Psykers grapple with power they cannot control. One way or another, your abilities as a General will surely be tested as you fight your opponent and the fields on which the battle takes place!

Stratagems!

New to the GBU this year is the introduction of custom stratagems available to every army, regardless of faction. Rest assured, we've been play-testing these stratagems rigorously to ensure that they are costed appropriate.

Take a look at one of our tournament stratagems.

Is one of your characters out of position? Is his aura solely needed to marshal your forces for victory on a different flank? Did you fall for a trap? Use this stratagem to re-deploy your character and assure that he doesn't spend half the game moving to where he's truly needed so he can have his maximum impact.

There are a variety of Offensive and Defensive stratagems designed to throw a wrench in your opponents plans, and aid you on your way to victory!

Whew! What a lot to preview! Hopefully that hypes you up as much as it does for us! We look forward to seeing you on January 27, 2019 for the 11th annual The Good, The Bad, & The Ugly tournament!
