I don't feel giving any random trooper a 1/3 chance of living is necessary or conducive to the fun part of the game, which is successfully executing a strategy. Anti-tough and healing is almost a necessity these days, which is why eGrim's Mortality was so well received.<br /><br />There will be a Mk3 eventually, or a Mk2 remix at least.JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04264776907266889102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816900517011039815.post-12657873706530687582013-03-27T02:30:53.821+13:002013-03-27T02:30:53.821+13:00I feel your pain.

I have the luckiest pirates in my meta. Mr. Walls made 11 tough rolls in one game. With the release of Rask I decided to play minions again. I don't even consider playing my gators without a Witch Doctor to Zombify them. <br /><br />Since timely tough rolls frustrate your opponent's plan and force him/her to think on their feet to develop a "Plan B," this adds an interesting component to a game. I don't know if PP deliberately built this uncertainty into the game or they are scrambling to fix it by giving all factions access to tough. I know that I wish I could bring a Blood Hag in all my lists.<br /><br />Is there really a MK3 on the horizon?anewbrehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15149958549539333616noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816900517011039815.post-34632090282614193742013-03-17T21:44:44.105+13:002013-03-17T21:44:44.105+13:00You are incapable of experiencing the phenomenon k...You are incapable of experiencing the phenomenon known as fun.Luke Brimblecombehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162670889125366297noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816900517011039815.post-62627077443684715442013-03-17T21:31:55.342+13:002013-03-17T21:31:55.342+13:00Care to actually address any of my points?

And it's not fun.JShttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04264776907266889102noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5816900517011039815.post-15590772275240782372013-03-17T16:54:40.758+13:002013-03-17T16:54:40.758+13:00Because beermachine is a microcosm of the wider ga...Because beermachine is a microcosm of the wider game and its wider problems... yeah right. The followup event the following day had next to no tough. <br /><br />Access to tough is not essential to a winning list, and the inclusion of models that make your infantry tough is not a no-brainer decision.Luke Brimblecombehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13162670889125366297noreply@blogger.com
