first beta-play done.

I have to say, the ruleset is much better than i thought, it works fluent and fast, i liked it very much

just one thing: the point values of various stuff are totally wrong!!!

there are some abilities that are too cheap, and it is not possible that the quality point is the same from +2 to +3 and from +3 to +4!!! statistically, it is really different!!!

if you use the rosters, everything works well, but with the online generator you can create some TERMINATORS for few points (like a Q2+ C6 THOUG for 90 points, that could beat a hole army!)


Ok, actually i discovered that there is a nonlinear growth for the point score, and that's fair.
but you can still make the previously-mentioned TERMINATOR for 113 points... still too few for power players!

It is true that you can break the game by using the online character generators - they are not intended to be used that way, but to make small changes to existing profiles so that you may flesh out rosters for the minis you actually own.

For instance, if you happen to have a zombie hunter mini with axe and rifle - there's no profile in the rosters that fit that configuration, but you can then take an existing profile with Heavy Weapon and add the rifle.
Ask at the LAF, and answer shall thy be given!

 :D  I'm totally hooked myself. I can break out all the almost-forgotten minis from various manufacturers and use them all - even those I never thought I'd be looking at again  8)
