Summary
Ok that was really bloody game..I stuffed up on my deployment, in that I didn't space formation apart enough.
Expert rider rule: I think I made... only about two today..It feels fine to use and there were times when I wish it would work more, but feels about right.
Scout Rider Troupe: They end up basically broken from turn two.. and then spent the game fleeing
HORNETS: Again I think the 30 cm range on the hornets, feels about right. It does force you move the formation more.So where's before you may have done a single move, you are now doing a double move..So a bit more though into its deployment etc.
Regards
Greg
