We wanted to take some time to shine a light on some of the items in this release in a bit more detail, tell you more about them, and open the floor to any questions you may have. First up is the Token & Map Pack!
While adventuring in the Astral Union, you and your Mechs will face a vast array of Encounters, from performing peaceful favours for locals, to protecting them from environmental disasters and other more dangerous threats. To keep track of your Mechs and their objectives at your table, the Map and Token pack allows you to do this with ease - so what does it include?
The Map
This foldable 12x10 hex-grid map is a compact and transportable option for tracking your Encounters. Lightweight and with a durable coating, it is designed to survive travelling to all of your game nights. For ease of play, the grid references used for setting up pre-written Encounters are printed onto the map to make tabling an Encounter as fast as possible.
Thanks to the overwhelming support we’ve received already, through stretch goals, we’ve been able to make this map double-sided! Now one side will be for Encounters on solid ground, while the flip side of the map is an expansive starfield, designed for adventures in space as you explore and dogfight with other mechs amidst the cosmos.
The Tokens
This double-sided A4 sheet of pop-out tokens allows you to populate your table with all the wonders the Astral Union has to offer! There is a variety of token types in the pack, including:
Enemies: A selection of enemy Mechs, Nephellim and other enemies you may encounter.
Allies: A series of NPC tokens to represent your allies on the map.
Objectives: From Settlements to protect, to artefacts you need to retrieve, these tokens can be used as objective markers.
Terrain: Show off what kind of world you are playing on with terrain tokens, from lush forests to rocky mountains.
Environmental Hazards: Sometimes the threat is nature itself. Lava flows, raging waters and swirling tornadoes are some of the environmental hazards you may encounter.
The token and map pack comes in any reward level Astral Citizen and above, or can be purchased separately as an addon! Have any questions or want to know more? Drop us a comment on this update or join our Discord server here.
Thank you again, everyone - we can't wait to explore the galaxy with you all!
