r/WHQDarkWater

Third time trying act 1 with my brother. We’re getting completely destroyed every time, even picking the missions and avoiding the ones that got us.

- first try we end up with the ones that buffs every enemy each time we kill one, stacking. The last ones are pretty much impossible to kill.

- second try we end up with the same enemies running away, by the end of round 1/beginning of round 2

- some missions don’t make any sense…

Help!

Totally give this game an "A"

I got Dark Water for Christmas, painted them all by March. Then painted some more WH40k things. I got around to playing Dark Water 3 weeks ago. Playing with wife and son. We are having a blast. This game is fantastic. Of course I had read this that and the other, lots of hate on YouTube. Its fun. Bottom line spent hours painting. Will spend hours playing.

Our first run through we died in ACT 1. It was silly. We are injured and one scenario into ACT 3 now.

I just wanted to report that it is a lot of fun. Easy rules. The characters are fun. The loot is fun, the puzzles and quests are quirky and fun. Its my first WHQ game, really any game of this type.

I had D&D and tried to play with my kids who are just a bit too young, they bickered and killed each other. A campaign with no DM puts the kind of guardrails I needed on a game like this. Who knows, maybe we will get crazy and play Gloomhaven.

Me and my party are very confused by Belga. It specifies when she moves she moves as far from the last player who took a turn as possible. She also uses Advance at the start of each enemy turn.

If she were next to a player, however, Advance would turn into Quick Attack. Would Belga's rule to move away from players override the Quick Attack rule of Advance?

God bless
