Ordered the rules today. I've been patiently waitng for Clash of Spears but last I saw they are still in the pipeline until November, so thought I'd give these a go. I have an early Roman force to paint, which fits better with CoS, so had hoped for Early Rebuplic army list. I do have Caesarian though so not a problem. Also have some 20mm Greeks to paint, origionally meant for Men of Bronze but this may be more up my street. I'm a Bolt Action fan so have high hopes.
I've been looking at some videos and reading some bits and pieces on the Facebook group, etc, and it seems that there's lots of scope for power gaming combinations, which puts me off. The 500pts war band size also looks very small and maybe doesn't really do the game justice, limiting things a tad. But I'm not gonna make judgements til I've played it...
Just because you CAN powergame doesnt mean you SHOULD. Any game can suffer that.
I think honestly it falls back on the "Dont be an asshole" rule. If your opponent rocks up with cheese you just pack up and walk. When he/she asks why its very simple "Your not interested in a fun game for both of us so why should I waste my time ?"
