Agreed but for seasoned players those kinks/issues were ironed out years ago.

Yep.

At this stage I cant see me using the new rules in my own no-tourney gaming group. I'll be OldSaga'ing.

I think this will affect some of the tourney players too. To play in the tourney, do you need to bring the "new" battleboard for your faction? Are you hamstrung if you want to play with your old one?

None of the changes were necessary and/or fixes for broken aspects of the game. Even the "skulking single warrior in the woods generating a Saga dice" wasn't a game breaker as some suggest. Either deal with the consequences of an extra dice, or hunt the fellow down and kill him. That's part of the tactical considerations of the game.

I'll be OldSaga'ing it too.

Has an actual date been announced for when this is being released?

Codsticker · « **Reply #62 on:** November 26, 2017, 05:31:07 PM »

"early 2018" according to an interview with Alex Buchel; so I would anticipate sometime around Salute 2018 (April'ish) possibly shortly before.

To be honest, I don't know if I will invest in the second edition, as I have spent a lot of money in first edition already. My intention is to see how the new edition works and then, if I consider the changes are an actual improvement, will decide if I switch editions. Of course, the inclusion of Samurais battleboards for Saga 2nd Ed could act as a powerful incentive!

Same here

I'm also waiting for some ancient struggles, as I'd love to make small Numidian force to harras Romans or Carthaginians

Well, Troy is mentioned specifically in their stuff, so Rome isn't very far off from that with things.

Bizarrely, Warlord have just announced last week it's carrying Saga. They must have known the change was coming before they got stock in.

Probably just to push their own range of figures - they bought Saxon Miniatures and now sell them on their site, along with a few GB plastic sets, which will all be perfectly useable in the new ruleset.

Any news on price?
That will be the make or break for me.

It’s always been quoted as £10/10€ for the rule book, but as for the period books, don’t know, I’d assume about the same as the A&A book.

I think people who based their force on 20mm bases and other gamier things to gain an advantage will not be happy, but tbh, I think that is the point of the new rules. Removing crutches people had to aid their gameplay and providing an even playing field with respect to the main rules. A lot of the things people complain about vis a vis things like movement does not mean ones tactics are being impacted, it means that exploits in the rules are being removed.... this is a good thing except for the 'win at all costs' crowd.

So I might have missed it, but is there anything so far in this new rule set about an official play-this-way base size? round 25mm looked to me like it was the preferred way to play the old set, at least because that is the size the gripping beast saga figures came with, but all of mine are 20mm squares, not for gaming advantage (hard to base for an advantage for a game you have never played) but because that is what the first sets I bought came with.

Too Bo Coo · « **Reply #73 on:** January 08, 2018, 09:00:48 PM »

They very cleverly took base size off the table, now combat is unit v unit. 20, 25, 30mm it’s all the same now. There was a notorious guy at our local who ran Joms. 5 points of warriors in 4 10 man units with Dane ax. He based on round 20s, could get four models deep into combat. He’s not happy with the new rules 😂

He sounds like a fun guy...

Serves him right.
