Unboxed #1 Urban War

So here it is, the first unboxing. Please bear with my crappy camera technique as I try to master proper lighting and just about everything else that goes along with it.

This is the unboxing of the Urban War starter box. Yes, I realize it's not the newest game put out by Urban Mammoth but a complete starter set for slightly over $20 is too damn good to pass up.

First comes first. Here's the box as it comes.

Kind of cool. I like the idea of sci-fi skirmish games. Let's see what we have when we open the box.

Ok two sets of figures some equipment on sprues, bases and as a nice touch, I believe it comes with some customizable building type structures.

This is where the apologies begin. The first unboxing with pictures is going to be a little rough. These are the VASA figures and what look to be attachable communications devices. Pretty cool. Sort of like futuristic infantry but with gas masks. I guess the future is as polluted as they say it's going to be.

Here's a picture of one of the soldiers. Looks pretty detailed. At what comes out to about $1.65, this is an outstanding figure. It's hard to make out the weird gas mask they wear in this pic.

So here's the Syntha set. As the name suggests these are cyborg types I believe. Looks like they might have one slightly larger figure.

Here's a Syntha solo. Um, nice breast....plate. Yeah I may need to be alone for a minute. Ok take me to your leader Syntha chick. And I just gave the overall detail nod to the Syntha. Yes, I am THAT easy.

Here are the buildings still in their sprues. This deal is getting better and better. I could definitely use these for more than just this game. Some nice sci-fi terrain pieces that are reconfigurable are always welcome.

Now to the boring parts. Two dice and the bases for the figs. Just an aside, I haven't gotten advanced enough with these things yet to do anything fancy like glue minuscule dirt to my bases in any of the stuff I own. If it gets primered white then yes, I meant to do that for effect. Otherwise let's glue them, paint them and get them in play I say.

Finally we have the magazine/manual. It is interesting to note there's an offer for a free triad figure on the inside. I wonder if it's still valid. Anyway I gave it a glance, nice animations, the rules seem relatively easy to comprehend.

Well, thanks for putting up with my first unboxing. Hopefully this one moves quickly through the workbench and then onto same dedicated game testing. I'll let you see the progress as it happens. Lucky you!
