I like that they bumped the unit size maximum. Not sure about everything else atm cause i'm not that familiar with 8th edition yet.

o well I'll play it

Its much better than the first draft at least.

Yeah, going in the right direction. I still scratch my head about a few things. And strangely enough, the orc and goblin army I'm starting to repaint (lots of 2nd edition 22 year old models) is ETC compliant. This confuses me.

Yeah I don't know what they are doing but its starting to look better.

We will see

No disruption which is kinda odd as I thought that was their main concentration.

They really needed to take that part out it kills the point of 8th.

I like their unit size restrictions. Seems pretty right on to be - except I am still afraid of 9 blood knights with characters in the unit

I personally don't like unit size restrictions. I can see making certain units 0-1 but i really dislike unit size restrictions.
