I'm not going to do a full write up of the battle as this time as I do not have pictures. I do want to make some observations about V3 things I think are improvements.
Index: This is a vastly improved! Chris and I were able to look up most items we had question on without any difficulty. Had this been the only improvement I would have been thrilled but there were many others.
Gone To Ground Gun Saves: This came up a number of times during the game as Chris' sniper tried to take out my guns. (Gone to Ground Guns now save on a 3+)
Snipers: With the ability for them to relocate and escape if enemy teams come too close make them much more useful. I think the type of board and opponent is going to be a deciding factor here but in the urban battle Chris and I played they were quite useful (Chris got especially good mileage out of his)
Assaults: Much clearer and cleaner all around and I got creamed in both assaults that happened in our game!
Movement: The increased movement. My recon trucks could go 18" on the cities streets. This gave me the luxury of keeping them back as a mobile reserve knowing I could get were I need to go in one turn with out moving at the double. This is a two edged sword since often you foe will be able to get to a target faster than you may be used to.
the battle report will be posted some time this weekend
Good stuff - and great to see photos in the article. Nicely done.
ReplyDeleteLooking forward to the write up and I agree. A workable index is reason enough to buy it!
