    I could see small units being useful for certain objectives such as Demoralise Their Forces, where the small units can land effective flank attacks against units engaged to a tarpit. For Break Their Defences a higher unit count could score more points if you can keep them protected until the end. It may also be useful for Supply Raid as a grab the objectives and run strategy.

    However, with points scored for destroying units there are arguments for and against small formations, which is good, as we're likely to see a combination of both, each with strategical merit.

    but would a 2 tray unit be worth it compared to a 2x2 tray unit I mean I just don't see the benefit of not using 2x2 as a min unit.

    I suppose that would be a good inclusion but I am not sure why you would want to field multiple 2 tray units of spearmen or reanimates, 8 health on a front line unit seems very meh-tastic. I understand the desire for the additional tray as kind of a principle matter, but I don't necessarily see the practical applications.  I mean maybe you could have a 2 tray in front of a larger group to shield them from a head on attack, act as a tarpit then die then the large group charges over the corpses of their fallen companions?

    I'm about as impressed with the models as I was with Imperial Assault. In other words: "Get some paint on that plastic, pronto!" I just can't imagine playing with these things unpainted. BattleLore didn't look too bad, but these just have to be painted. I think it's the fact that they're not colored. It's a good thing I'm in this for the gameplay and not for the minis.

    I think the scale demands paint too, especially on the larger models.

    Not a ton of detail, but I like that as I've always been a "table top standard" painter myself and too many details add a lot of painting work, without a lot of visual payoff during a game.

    Yeah the first thing I'm going to be doing when I get these things all put together is priming them, I was amazed how much of a difference priming my stormtroopers in IA made...I'll paint them also but I'm going to start playing as soon as the primer dries lol

    So I think it is amusing (though completely coincidental) that after we have spent weeks CALMLY DISCUSSING the various pricing matter of this game compared to other miniatures games including a decent amount of focus on X-wing as being not as cheap as it seems, FFG releases a news article about how to build a tournament team for $101...Its a good article just has very suspicious timing...are we being watched? I'M ASKING YOU COFFEE POT!?!? lol ^_^

    I think its really a matter of personal taste in that case. A smaller scale also has some crucial benefits for playing such kind of mass battle, rank and file tabletop system.
     

    I understand completely the it is a matter of personal taste.  I'm just saying that I definitely prefer the 28mm scale.  I'm sure there are some really great 10 or 15mm systems however I just don't think i can every bring myself to play them. In the same vein of preference a HUGE draw for me to Runewars is the lack of rolling 1000 dice only to have 3 do anything.  I like 28mm Streamlined systems I suppose...lol

    I would love a scan of the rules!... though depending on what agreement he had with FFG that may violate something (don't really see why it would but I'm cautious) I know a buddy and I are going to be doing a podcast and battle reports of this game once it is launched so we would kinda like to know the rules for the BR of the launch adventure...

    Yes, I know, quoting myself is really looking like a no-life lonely guy locked up in front of his screen but still.

    Can someone tell me what are stances and, what are those letters in black under each caction and modifier ? thanks

    I think those letters are just the colors so you can match them if you are color blind
