It played woefully bad on the table which spurred the new additions. But balance is tough. Col.

They can’t write in new rules unless they have models ready to go but there is no drive for imaginative new models without a rule context to put them in. So I’ll just make my own.Col.

Rob’s (curious constructs) standing legs are a bit bigger than his riding legs and the details on Vic’s are different, so I can’t decide how to make them. Col.

On paper it is hard to see how all the aspects interact together. I did have the ‘run’ rule needing models to make a dangerous terrain test, but I hadn’t considered that it would make first turn charges possible with some good rolling. Col.

Just stick to the Calvary rules (they already have fleet aren't slowed by terrain! Also giving them run and assault on top of that is a bit much.<br /><br />Either way, great bat rep, and great job working on your own rule set!greggleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15528518337222880432noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-278948911045039954.post-21670433144799151792014-11-03T15:47:31.379+10:302014-11-03T15:47:31.379+10:30Awesome to see the rules going ahead and performin...Awesome to see the rules going ahead and performing well ^^ Keep up the good show sir!The Princehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15950221182800832797noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-278948911045039954.post-77063972795076051732014-11-03T12:53:45.119+10:302014-11-03T12:53:45.119+10:30Fantastic report - love seeing it all come togethe...Fantastic report - love seeing it all come together with the custom rules and testing.
