One person at the event only played his first game on the Friday evening before the event and my partner Will had only had maybe 4-5 games, all with me, before the event kicked off. There were some people at the event with only a handful of games under their belt. The other great part of this in this event is that not only do you get to play with 8 people on the other side of the table you actually have a bigger pool around each table to help with minor rules and things. With each player taking control of a single Squad as part of a larger Strike Team you really know who’s in control of what and if you’re ever not fully agreed on a course of action as a pair then you just default to whoever’s squad it is. I’ve attended these types of events in the past with other systems but Shatterpoint might be the best game for it I’ve come across. It seemed neither did anyone else as this event titled Always Two There Are was a doubles event in effect two people on one side of the table and two on the other. With the game being new I wasn’t sure what to expect. Boards and Swords Hobbies in Derby, UK were running one and with that being my local FLGS it seemed that I should really give it ago and put my money where my mouth (words) are as it was and see if the ideas I’ve been presenting to you in the last few articles hold up in practice. Star Wars Shatterpoint has been out for approaching two months and events have started to spring up around the world for it.
