Agreed, I like the current structure, maybe incorporate the Command rules
within the companies, each company having a command detachment including
commander, communications officer, bodyguards etc.
Or maybe you could have command detachment or special cards...

Hello Peter,

hi,
in my opinion there is no need to restructure it like that...
i think, the 4.1 structure can be good enough to prevent player using only
the hardest troops without balance.
looks a bit 40k like - and is a bit a loss of the old-epic -feeling if
the changes would be made like that...
in 4.1 there are still restrictions - for example darkangels who
cannot use a veteran company, tech-guards who only can take knights,
etc.
what would make sense is a thought to develop which handles out the
problem of over abudance of "specialists" WITHIN the known structure -
otherwise its too complicated and changes the whole thing too much.

PR> Hi!
PR> The discussions on AA and limiting numbers of them got me thinking
about an idea Emiliano (antichrist666it) gave me regarding a new structure
for army cards.
PR> Emiliano has been a very busy little beaver and is basically writting a
template for 5.0 all by himself, including a lot of new units and ideas.
While we will change and discuss a lot of things
PR> it will save us time come time to actually do the revision.
PR> The following is what he suggested with some changes from myself.
PR> We still use the same armycard structure but the cards are different:
PR> Command- this is the "core" you build your army around. So instead of
starting with a company card you stand with the command structure.
PR> Regulars (or line or other suitable name)- these are the meat and drink
of any army and will be by far the most common troops available. What
number of regular troop companies can be added we can
PR> either leave open-ended or set a maximum limit. Units like SM
tacticals, IG tacticals, guardians and ork boys fall in this category.
PR> Veterans (or elite whichever sounds better)- these are specialist, much
more uncommon units. I would suggest that they be limited to one or two
cards PER command. Units like terminators, aspect
PR> warriors and such would fall in this category.
PR> Specialized units or equipment (for lack of a better name, Emiliano
called these "rare" cards)- these are units that are a rarity on the
battlefield due to difficulty of construction or lack or
PR> availability. You can attach one such company card PER command. Units
like AA, deathstrikes, pulsa rokkits and other "wierd" weapons fall in this
category as well as titans
PR> Advantages
PR> 1.You eliminate the problem of over abundance of "specialist" units,
since you would need to a very large command base to have a lot of these
units.
PR> 2. It uses the same army card format everyone is familar with
PR> 3. Places emphasis on a command structure to build an army
PR> Disadvantages
PR> 1. It introuduces the need for a command radius for all armies. For
some it is not a problem, but we would still need to make rules for them.
PR> 2. What constitutes a command "company" and what units need to be made.
Although its a fun endevour, it still means a lot of work to do correctly.
PR> 3. Re-categorization of all units into the new scheme.
PR> Comments?
PR> Peter
