Hi
Its nice to see some activity on this list again. Before I comment on the
suggested changes I will state for the record that the Grand Warlord of the
Squats can add his initiativbonus AFTER the roll is made. The rules on page
3 in the Squat Armylist explicitly says so. This is the only power the Grand
Warlord have, and a slow moving army like the squats really need it.
My first thought was that this also should apply to the slann mage, but then
I took a look at the price and changed my mind. The Grand Warlord
accompanied by two hearthguard costs 150 points. The slann mage costs the
same, but in addition it has a number of other advantages so I guess the
original wording is OK.
On the battlereport: If the Mechs where taken out by shadowswords and
deathstrike missiles, I see no reason to make them cheaper. This is the two
most deadly weapons in the game and should be able to take out anything.
I think we should play a couple of more games before we finetune the
beta-rules. I'd say a total of 5 or 6 games with the current rules, then
some fine tuning, then 5 or 6 more games before we do the final changes.
This was just ONE game. Lets keep the rules as is for now and have the
suggested changes in mind when playing.
