I bought this product at the full five dollar price. I too snapped it up...and immediately suffered from buyer's remorse.

I still don't know if it is worth two dollars.

Showdown is a table top miniature wargame, and a good one.

I was disappointed that Warriors did not have an army list (just something typical not definitive).

I was disappointed that it did not have a generator for scenarios or any campaign suggestions.

The scenarios are pretty generic. It would have been nice if they would have been tied to some sort of campaign or something from Mars RPG setting.

It does have an exhausting (if not exhaustive) list of different types of soldiers...but no info on how they are deployed or used.

There are tables that are useful. There are new weapons and edges that are actually new and not rehashes of old stuff.

(full disclosure: I am a freelance writer working on Adamant's MARS line, so my comments may be biased. :) )

'Warriors of Mars' is an excellent expansion for MARS. Savage Worlds excels at blending tabletop miniatures action with roleplaying adventures, and MARS as a setting is perfect for the sort of sprawling tactical battles that Savage Showdown does so well. The Good: 'Warriors' details combat troops for all the various races in the MARS setting, and includes three tabletop battle scenarios so you can set up and play immediately. The Savage Showdown rules and a custom 'Warriors' Excel troop-builder spreadsheet are even included in the download. The artwork (primarily by Jesus Garcia Lopez) is gorgeous and very evocative. All told, 'Warriors' is a great value for the price. The Bad: Unfortunately, there are some spelling and grammar errors which slipped into the final product. Nothing that makes the text unreadable or the information unclear, but it is an annoyance in an otherwise fine product (and the cause of my 4-Star rating instead of the 5-Star rating I wanted to give).

I snapped this up as soon as I saw it was released. I;m a big fan of the MARS Savage Worlds products, and this is another great addition to the line. I am already planning to build me own tripod and sky galleon! The art is fantastic... look a that cover!!!

Adamant, please, please PLEASE come out wit ha line of paper minis for this game... I beg you! PLEASE! (trifold, pretty please!)
