If you are fortunate and have a prototype, you now can upgrade it to have the FINAL Action Cards. I have access to the 224 final Action Cards and have permission to share them.

I can fit 8 full sized cards on one page, then share it as a PDF for you to grab and print. Then, if you sleeved your cards, just cut out the new final Action Cards for your Heroes and slip them in front of the original Action Cards!

I put all 7 standard final Action Cards for each Hero on one sheet. I used the 8th spot to provide notes on everything that changed in the final cards (so you know what to try out!). Even if you don’t have a prototype, you are welcome to take a look at all the final Hero Action Cards!

One page for each of the SIXTEEN HEROES is on this page:
=> Proto Upgrade

And for those who want to do a run through with a couple Heroes final Action Cards … make sure you also use the updated Campaign Books (just view pages online as you go … or print all the pages (like I did) and spiral bind them:)
=> Campaign Chapter 1
=> Campaign Chapter 2
=> Rulebook (near final)

I reduced one of the sixteen pages to include it here as an example of what the pages look like (though if you open the image in a new tab it will be larger). I chose Sigyn since all five of her Action Cards were updated!

Laelia is another of our 16 heroes who had all five or her Action Cards updated.

The red boost was completely changed. It used to give you 4 rerolls on your next action this turn. Now it gives you a +1 instead. The +1 does help you plan your next move better I think :)

However, the nicest change was extending the range for healing someone to 5 (it used to be 4). This lets you heal another hero from quite a distance … and not just to remove one damage card, but to remove two!

Gia U’Coni is one of four Heroes that has had all five of her Action Cards updated. Let’s take a look at those five standard Action Cards, starting with her very UNIQUE card:

Gia is the only hero with the ability to cloak (just like Klingons do in Star Trek). And just like Captain Kirk could KIND OF determine where a cloaked Klingon ship was, enemies do kind of know where you are and can move towards you. However, they do not know exactly where you are so they cannot target you in an attack. But, also like how a Klingon ship had to become visible again to attack, you lose this card and it’s ability if you attack or interact with an object! However, you CAN be damaged by global or indirect effects. If a mission has rocks fall on the square that you are on, those rocks WILL hit you! :) Oh … and what changed? The yellow boost now gives you TWO additional dice (before it was only 1 die).

Next … I am planning an updated look at our SIXTEEN HEROES! I think every single one of them has been updated from the prototype to the final game! So… stay tuned!

Probably will start with a look at the Heroes who had EVERY ONE of their Action Cards updated:

• Xalia
• Laelia
• Gia U’Coni
• Sigyn

Let’s take a look at actually using the cool rotating health dials within the base of an enemy!

The Rulebook includes an example, so let’s use that example. Here it is from the bottom of page 24 … first (since that is what we are looking at) take a look at the enemy standee that gets inserted into its cool rotating dial base. In this example, the enemy is RED #1 … so that is the base cover that is used:

The dial started showing enemy health of 4 (top) and then shows enemy health of 1 (bottom).

Next … we will be using one of Memnon’s Action Cards for this example. In the prototype, the weapon was named K90 CC Gun … in the final game the weapon is called K90 Rifle as shown here:

I asked Emil about the Player Aid card … and he has now shared it with us! It also answered my question to Emil about an icon glossary! Here is the near final (v8) front and back:

and

Watch for another quick article to run through some of the key points on this card!

When playing Rogue Angels prototype, I used really tiny D6 dice to keep track of the health remaining for enemies. For the curious, I used different colored Koplow 8mm dice for this.
=> Koplow 8mm D6 dick pack (Amazon – look at the comments to see how MANY people are using these tiny dice to track damage etc)

But now we can take a peek at how the final game will utilize the base for the enemy standee to track it’s health as a DIAL that you can turn as it takes damage! This appears to be a fantastic way to handle tracking enemy health! And page 6 of the rulebook includes  a look at these near final enemy rotating bases!

I think it may be time to start looking at Rogue Angels again now that it is nearing completion.

UPDATE (late July 8): I got a msg back from Emil … a newer revision (#23) to the rulebook may be released soon … so hold off printing till then:)

The rulebook is at revision 21 right now and still referred to as “draft”, so it is NOT the FINAL rulebook. However … it DOES give us a look at how Emil has redone the rulebook from scratch. And I like it. I like it A LOT. It is much better than the rulebook that came with the prototype (which is why there are prototypes … so they can evoke comments and suggestions there by making the final that much better). Here is a link that should let you view the rulebook in it’s latest iteration (Emil likely will keep updating the file here):

=> Link to his official Dropbox
=> The Official Dropbox
=> The Rules and Campaign Books folder

I printed a copy of the rulebook and got it spiral bound at Staples a few days ago. Emil has already updated it even more since I printed it! So you should get the latest greatest revision using the links above!

First things I can mention … it now has THREE (or four) ways to find things in the rulebook. Page 3 has a normal index (I would call it a Table of Contents [update: Email is changing it to “Table of Contents” in rev23]) … but also the same list but in Alphabetical order! PLUS the last page of the rulebook (ie, the back cover) has a Keyword Index. And you also can flip through the pages (or scroll through online) to find what you are looking for – sounds tedious, but actually, Emil now has so many really nice graphics and game shots on virtually all the pages so what you are looking for might catch your eye easily.

Here is a comparison of the “Play an action card” page of the prototype rulebook (on the left) and the nearly final (on the right):
