I would like there to be more consideration into allowing the restricted LoW and Fort options. Having tested a number of tghese options out i feel they add additional options to the game without breaking them. A closer meshing of the formats is also welcome imho.pissclamshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09291125823083206636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-69613851297372261782014-06-20T10:52:43.464-07:002014-06-20T10:52:43.464-07:00Good to know!

(which keeps me from bringing a Vulture with a punisher to deal with FMC). I usually play to a single CAD of AM with a Knight titan for support. It just disheartens me to see people leaping towards restricting the rules or banning units in order to "balance" the game to their own views of how 40k should be played. When everyone has access to the exact same rules and options I don't see how anything is broken. People have the same choices and options as everyone else. If person 1 decides to take option Y while person 2 takes option X it's their own decision and who am I to tell them not to pick a certain model. if X happens to be "overpowered" compared to Y but they both had the option to take X where is the issue? I would think it as a matter of skill or knowledge of the game at that point.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-60247192772704633792014-06-20T08:51:14.791-07:002014-06-20T08:51:14.791-07:00We're all forming opinions at this point, and ...We're all forming opinions at this point, and we're trying not to rule by the opinion of any one person.<br /><br />Otherwise you get into situations such as ..<br /><br />AM do not struggle vs. FMC (especially now)<br /><br />2+ Re-roll stars are generally on the way out due to scoring unit changes, MSU is on the way in, solving the problem regardless of army construction<br /><br />Lords of War are fine, except for things like the C'Tran<br /><br />The CAD/AD rules above limit you by the points pretty quickly also, unless spamming as many possible Heavy Supports as you could or something was your plan ... having 0-4 in every FA/Elite/HS and having 3-8 Troops, and 2-3 HQ, is a pretty open FOC ... what are you trying to build that you feel that limits you?Mike Brandt; mvbrandt@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818846784767602047noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-88931075182029043332014-06-20T08:40:06.136-07:002014-06-20T08:40:06.136-07:00Roughly 16+.

The more we tried to limit 7th edition the more we realized it was best balanced when everything was included. LOW give players a hard counter to the 2+ re-rollable invulns, Fortifications such as the void shield help protect armies from being blown off the table turn one quite as easily. Allowing multiple CAD still leaves you restricted by the points. 40k approved units grant armies answers to problem they do not normally have in their codex ex: sabre defense platforms for AM to handle massed flying MC's. Army building may not be the only defining aspect but it is a huge part of what makes 40k the game it is and is one of the most important factors to "Balance".Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-23422209867971921132014-06-20T08:32:25.671-07:002014-06-20T08:32:25.671-07:00How many games of 7th have you actually played if ...How many games of 7th have you actually played if you think army construction is the defining aspect of 7th vs 6th?Hudsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09254648458761984561noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-388453741033869908.post-55396090450838035552014-06-20T08:16:31.005-07:002014-06-20T08:16:31.005-07:00I daresay I am disappointed by the NOVA rulings.
