There's a lot of sweeping assumptions and conflations and failure to compare what's been done to the design principles Privateer Press made implicit in Warmachine Mark II. I understand nerdrage but bad logic still makes me sad.<br /><br />I'm still not a hundred per cent sure the internal balance is perfect (Saeryn still exists in a form I recognise, for one thing) or that the issue of rules creep has been adequately addressed (Trollbloods aside, I'm not seeing many simple, accessible, right-back-to-basics Warmachine-battle-box level models in there), and so I can't honestly say that this Field Test fills me with renewed optimism and interest like the Warmachine one did. Maybe I genuinely don't care about Hordes? I dunno.Vonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12583821960347555993noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6757751546627217102.post-76616336448681697112009-11-29T13:21:26.217-08:002009-11-29T13:21:26.217-08:00I have been amazed by the tsunami of angst floodin...I have been amazed by the tsunami of angst flooding over the forums in the last 48 hours.

We do sometimes play scenario but ultimately it boils down to caster kill. Timed turns and game length really help.<br /><br />@Redfinnegas: Our local John The Mennite does just that and always rants on how much fun he had and about all the cool people he meets.

You could change up the play style at your game store by playing more scenario games instead of casterkill.

It can not only help you avoid being slaughtered, but you can also make decisions faster if you're not looking at their cards or reading up in the rulebook.
