Jus, Admiral, do what you feel is right. Sure, listen to what people have to say, take it into consideration and then weigh their ideas up against your own. Put up your campaign rules and then ask people to sign up if they are interested and accept the restrictions etc.
The only problem is that our group of gamers and friends, is small. So there is a chance only one or two people might sign-up, which may prevent the campaign from ever getting off the ground. I guess this is why Jus and Badruck are trying to get all the information they can from everyone before they put something in stone and ask for the people to sign-up.
With regards to army comp, I think this was partly due to me and Tenorikuma that Jus and the Admiral were very kindly pushing for the restrictions. I think they were concerned that the Wood Elves are a 6th edition army with most of its units designed solely for the role of making the charge and receiving no attack backs in return in order to break units. That is the reason for their high point cost, e.g. the cheapest core model is 12 points, specials around 20-26, and a treeman 285.
So, Jus and the Admiral were very kindly thinking of me a lot when they were originally thinking about how to balance up the campaign battles. Thank you guys.
I appreciate your efforts.Anyway, in the interests of giving information to the campaign designers, here is my two cents as a Wood Elf player.
It is really hard for me to see why skirmishers do not count as having ranks in combat and thus can never break steadfast. The rule book states that they form up into ranks at the start of combat and receive supporting attacks, but when it comes to the combat res they still count as having no ranks. The wood elves really only have 1 ranked unit,12 point Eternal Guard, and they may only be taken as core IF they have a Highborn 145 points, and not a wizard, as their general. So relying on my skirmishing core unit,dryads 12points, in 8th edition is hard to do. The lore of life spell, dwellers below, is really the only way for my army to deal with blocks of ranked units, and to have a chance to get it, I need a level 3 wizard 215 points.
Do you think it is unreasonable to allow skirmishers to have their rank count towards combat resolution?
