Thoughts on Independence Day 2 (No Spoilers)

Here are my thoughts on the Independence Day film sequel. The story is fairly fast paced as you would imagine and it blends in well with the previous film timeline. One comment that I heard was that you could play them back to back and hardly notice the join. It was nice to see some of the characters again. Good acting by all involved. The Special Effects team must have been on overtime, there are plenty of battle scenes to get you on the edge of your seat, chewing the back rest of the person in front of you.
                    I saw the 2d version this time around, occasionally I found it hard to judge the scale of the mothership, but that may have been just me. I may well go for the 3d experience too, at a later date. I would have liked to see more of the action set at the moon base, but that's just me being greedy for space stuff. It was well worth a visit to the big screen to find out if our heroes can save the day once more.

8 out of 10.

Star Subway Station

Situated in a ruined central city area.

Bow (Power -1) Range = 9



Notes: I'm just deciding on the layout of the station. I will probably use D and D maps to portray the site, rather than in a 3d model, as it is multi level.

Just to prove that research pays dividends, I have just checked, there is actually a Warren Station (my original name for this station) on the London Underground, so I have changed the name to Star Subway Station.

I have done a short run through with a single vehicle against a Flatbed truck to try out the vehicle rules. Part of it has been posted.
