Starcraft Heroes – Arcturs Mengsk

Arcturus Mengsk used to be a very successful prospector for the Confederate government. Although his home world, Korhal IV, was a center of civil disobedience and anti-Confederate propaganda, Arcturus Mengsk was honored to put his bravery at the service of the government. As the turmoil on Korhal reached its peak

Planets Starcraft – Shiloh

Shiloh is a temperate rim planet that was initially ignored by the settlers due to its low metal supplies. They instead focused on planets that enabled industry and space trade. It was only after the richer, central worlds were mapped, settled, and established that Shiloh caught the interest of the colonists.

Starcraft Units – Colossus

The Towering Colossus is a robotic unit developed by the Protoss, dating back to the bloody conflicts of the Kalath Intercession. He strides across the battlefield on his four long legs, which give him an extremely high degree of mobility. Thanks to its enormous size, this machine can negotiate cliffs or steep terrain without too much difficulty, which at the same time gives it an optimal firing position.

Starcraft Missions – Maw of the Void

Description: Commander, our mutual friends from moebius have been able to track down the last artifact fragment. Once that last bit is secured, we can push into Char and face Kerrigan. Good luck, Mr Raynor. I’m afraid you will need it.

Starcraft Buildings – Missile Turret

The Missile Turret (or Turret for short) is a Terran defensive building, which once constructed will attack flying units and buildings. It cannot be lifted off. It is also one of the modes of detection for Terran as it reveals cloaked units (including ground units) within its range of attack.

Starcraft

Starcraft is a turn-based game. The active player receives the obligatory first player token, so it should always be clear whose turn is being played, and especially interesting: StarCraft does not require any dice at all.
To get started, you first have to agree on your faction, then gather all the necessary figures, cards and tokens of your faction (woe betide the game master who only starts sorting now!) and leave the table in the middle free, as this is where the galaxy, i.e. the playing field, is built.

This proceeds similarly to Twilight Imperium.

Each player draws two planet tokens, which they can use to pick their planets from the planet stack. This step is necessary because the planet cards are shaped differently and the tokens are the only way to ensure that the drawing is random.
The starting player then places his first planet in the center of the table and can already build a base – but he doesn’t have to, then he has to do it on his second planet as soon as he lays it out.
Once the first planet is in place, it is the next player’s turn to lay out his first planet and connect it to the previous player’s planet with a navigation route cardboard piece. The last player may lay out both planets at the same time and then it goes in reverse order to the starting player. This way a more or less interconnected galaxy is created.
Finally, Z-axes are laid, which are navigation routes across loose ends, sort of a 3D conversion.
Each player receives the corresponding resource cards for his two planets and then only the event cards are reduced according to the number of players, shuffled and placed on the board. There are three event card phases, which is symbolized by different card backs and should help the game to become faster and more powerful towards the end. Now the game can start.

Each round is divided into three phases.
