You've got me interested! Smaller tweaks are great and to hear the magic selection is gone will speed games up

Universal Point Limit to unit entries, especially one as low as 600 is a huge change? Most elite units, especially infantries go above that limit even without Magical items right now.

@@MrCamuroglu there will be some re alignment of points. Try to not go in with the assumptions of 2.0 - but do play some games with the new rules and let us know what you think!

@@the9thage I'd love to, is there any chance you might share the exact worded movement/charge rules so I can play some games, or did you mean to interpret from the video? Cause while it is showing something, I am not certain the video explains exactly the extent of things I can do with reform etc.

So, what are the odds to win +2 roll for deployment?

@siwygameplay 16 күн бұрын

Slightly more than 81%. With +1 it's slightly less than 68%

Hm is the scenario not a bit weird? Chaff will give points vs the objective, if you kill it with a scoring unit? Is that not buffing deathstars quite a bit? Usually you want to chaff the deathstar as much as possible and maybe never engage. Here you hand your opponent the secondary if you do that because the points are also trapped in the deathstar that you do not want to engage...

I know that one of the aims of 3.0 was to reduce the reliance on pure chaff, and this seems an elegant way to do that

@@markgcarroll If that was the goal, they might have suceeded. But then I would disagree with the goal. Chaffing units is a staple in Warhammer for ever and I think it should stay as it is. It is a fun meta game during the match and making engaging more dangerous, because you must not loose or use chaff might make the game more shooty. This scenario also makes shooting less useful, as you dont gaint points from shooting a unit to death (what I like). But removing variables that are important for melee combat to happen is not that great.

@modmoto6016 Horses for courses, I guess... I've always hated chaff and felt it was just a trump card that negated several of the variables that could otherwise affect whether combat happens :) Anyhow, reading all the spoilers so far, it seems that great effort has been made to ensure that tactical play can come to the fore without having to rely on chaff, so time will tell I guess
