I totally agree on...ive had a few further thoughts. I totally agree on overwatch, less so on morale.<br />I personally would be perfectly happy to houserule that overwatch just doesnt exist. but my concern with doing that is does it unbalance some things? for a start, that probably diddles any tau player right in their little blue bumhole!<br />also means theres barely any risk to attempting those long assaults (unless your unit is just going to get mushed i guess) but im not sure this is necessarily a strike against ditching overwatch to be honest.<br />I like that combat doesnt feel quite as deadly, personally. It feels like tying a unit upeven if you have no hope of winning the combat is a valid tactic, and then, sure, your unit can break off, but is still prevented from doing anything this turn, so mission accomplished.<br />My main concern is the fact that, basically, everything is unbound now. I saw a clip from one of their 8th ed battles on twitch where the guy was saying 'you could just take an army of hemlock wraithfighters! theyre super cool!'<br />And sure, you could make that a battle forged force using the flyers detachment. sure, its less troublesome to deal with now flyers are easier to hit and everything can wound everything, also you wont have many command points, but does that really balance out the strength of going all in like that? Im not sure it does (though im happy to be proved wrong.)<br /><br />I'm still excited about it, but not AS excited as i was prior to the release.Rich H.https://www.blogger.com/profile/15746125347482871191noreply@blogger.com
