MARVEL: Crisis Protocol - Gamora and Nebula

I was so excited for this game but after spending almost 10 hours with putting it together I have decided to return it. My family and I are avid Star Wars Legion players so I thought this game would be a great addition. My problems with this game are simply that it is very difficult to put the miniatures together. Each miniature has pieces so small that it is almost impossible to hold let alone try to glue on to another piece. I had high hopes for this game but they were quickly dashed because of a poorly made product.

I've been playing table top games for over 20 years and this was by far the most frustrating experience I have ever had assembling minis in a starter box.First the parts are poorly designed, often splitting an arm at each of the joints. That means you have to glue a 1/3" bicep to a 1/4" forearm to an 1/8" hand. This makes it really easy to over glue, leave prints or misalign parts. These arms could have easily been molded as a single part, and it baffles me when companies choose to do this. Plus its evident that they know that its a problem considering they often include an extra hand/claw to make up for the fact that the parts are incredibly tiny.Second the parts ARE numbered on the sprue but NOT in the assembly instructions so you're often left guessing as to which forearm goes to which bicep. Sometimes the picture in the assembly guide is helpful, but when parts look near identical, and test fitting isn't an option, you're often left making a "best guess." To aggravate this problem some of the hole guides are practically non existent. This wouldn't be a problem if the parts were design for flex posing, but because the model is a fixed design, a bad guess could screw up a model. Again, this all comes down to BASIC documentation and design.Ok, so the tiny forearm on my Red Skull went skidding across the table and onto the carpet, lost forever. Not a big deal right? I can just buy another model. NOPE. These figures are only sold through the Starter Set which mean if I want to replace the tiny little forearm, I have to buy a $100 set and unnecessarily double up on all the other characters.How does the game play? I don't know. Having lost parts to Red Skull and Ultron, I've decided not to even bother since I can't field a full roster of bad guys (Edit: add Captain Marvel to the list...). For a game that was suppose to simplify the gameplay of the genre and make it more accessible than say 40k, they certainly made it as difficult as possible to even plan the damn game in the first place.As a huge Marvel fan, I was ready to invest in building out my Crisis roster, but at this point I'll probably just give the game pieces away. Maybe someone at my local hobby shop is missing a few arms too and I can help them out.Disappointing.

The game is a Great time. The rules are smart the interaction with the board is awesome. It really feels as if you are playing that hero. Some of the pieces are a little small and annoying to put together but nothing unmanageable and certainly not worth crying over. Overall it is one of the best miniatures games I have played. I completely recommend it.

Always been a huge fan of the punisher and these minis don't disappoint. The punisher is pretty strong and has good ranged attacks but Taskmaster is a brutal, deceptively strong beast. Taskmaster can pretty much counter anybody's attack by changing their dice no matter what they do and also reroll his dice most of the time. Another cool aspect of taskmaster is that he can count towards any affiliation. The box comes with a few basic ability cards as well. When painting them I thought an all black punisher was too basic, so I attempted to give him camo pants and I think they turned out pretty well. Obviously if you're reading this you already play this game, so just do yourself a favor and hit the buy button 👍

Excellent product. Shipped fast. Once I finish painting everything I can’t wait to play it.
