Hi Ray, it was my pleasure to host the Command Horizon game for you.
Thank you for your patience in that I had to also host a pick-up game of
Polemos ACW game simultaneously and was running bck & forth. I won't
call you "Heathen" for your input on dice because I am a Heathen (in the
real meaning of the word) and take it as a compliment. Yes, there was a
lot of die rolling. Partially that is my fault in that I had originally
based those walkers under the 1st edition of the rules and I have way
too many models on the bases. The other part is a design goal in order
to flatten the odds curve and make a game based more on tactics than
luck. I will reduce the number of models for one, but perhaps we can
think of a way to moderate the number of die rolled without eliminating
the "tactical weight" to the game.

Thank you also for your feedback. It is really appreciated & is helpful.
Skal,
Sven
