When encountering a Gap: Improvise Proxy or Stop and prep?

What do you prefer todo if you encounter in a 5x game a gap in your setup, like a missing enemy mini, wrong terrain or something similiar.

Do you stop and hobby the gap away first or do you improvise a solution or workaround to keep the momentum?

For me it depends also when it happens. Everything pre and post battle probably leads to a hobby stop. Bookkeeping is patient.

Everything during a battle leads normally to a proxy or workaround solution, as the battle table might need to be teared down over the long run.

First Battle

First Investigative Mission.

It started primising, but then 4 different creature types (Dodger, Tackler, Spyer and Juggernaut) killed the Trooper and Scout and let my Scientists flee empty handed.

Planetfall Intro Mission Accomplished

Not without casualties though.

One Scout got caught by an ionic storm.

One trooper got ripped apart by a lifeform.

But in the end the setup of the colony was successful!

Planetfall Scientists Zenithal Primed

Best Print yet (Day 3)

My best result since I got the A1 three days ago.

0.2mm nozzle with FDG profile with standard auto tree supports.

I had to reprint the blades thicker, angled and without supports to get stringing under control.

A very improvised scenario, thrown together for my 7 year old daughter and my 5 yesr old son.

Unicorns try to rescue the hurt pony. (Daughter)

Hunters try to get the pony as well with their nets. (Me)

The dinos just want to eat everyone. (Son)

Some Vehicle fun

Still in the intro campaign, but thought it would be fun to experiment with some paper vehicles and the vehicle rules from tactics.

Cosmic Horror in Five Parsecs

Anyone has put a cosmic horror emphasize on any of its campaigns?

​

Any advise or easy hacks for this?

​

Any sci fi Five Parsecs variant (besides tactics) is fair game.

​

Thanks in advance!

Does a six always hit or are their impossible shots?

Somehow I can't find the answer to this.

​

If modifiers would create a 7+ shot, is the shot impossible or are natural 6s still hit?

​

In my last game I used the latter ruling.

​

Thanks in advance!

Drop Attack Houserule

I’m testing a small house rule to make vertical terrain more useful, especially for aggressive enemies.

Drop Attack

A model may perform a Drop Attack if it is at least 3 cm above an enemy model and can be placed in contact with the target after the jump.

Instead of the attacker taking fall damage, the target takes the impact hit:

Damage +0

Damage +1 if the attacker has a melee weapon

Roll damage against the target as normal.

If the target is not taken out as a casualty, the attacker also suffers a Damage +0 hit from the bad landing.

The attacker does not get any weapon bonus on this roll.
