Summary

Wow two turns..it was still a interesting game. on to other thoughts

1) I feel the WE3.8 list is pretty stable at this point and I can see no glaring issues when facing it

2) I also feel the points cost are pretty spot on for the units in the list..

3) The 1:4 ratio is bit strange, but seams to work..Although we have not done any real stress testing yet…

Hope the dice roll high…

Regards
