Happy New Year too! As an aside some people did say 'I vote for this/i vote for that'. Was there a poll? Did anyone count the opinions? As a solo player, I...
I'm afraid that 'this turn' was not accepted after debate Ash, and this rule was not slipped in under any wire, it was agreed upon by the majority. Neither was...

What implication Ash? There was none meant. And if you have played the rule then you should see how it works. If anyone was doing the implying it was you with...
Yes, there was a poll, and yes people voted. Yes, I counted the opinions. Have a look back at the posts in late August/early September to see the 'voting'...
Thanks for doing this Rodger. Lots of work here. I seem to have missed this proposal in the flurry: Rear Attacks Rear attacks occur when the attacker starts...
Hi Chris, This was a proposal that was discussed after play testing found an anomaly (the inabilty to perform a charge from the rear that contacted the flank...
The significance in Rob's comment is not the area of effect but that fact that at the moment a non-key Heavy unit causes panic however a key light unit does...

Thanks Steve and thanks Vincent for your comprehensive feedback. Mark G , Ash and Chris I have noted your thoughts. Does anyone want to expand on the posts...
