Can-Con 2012

Post by ravenflight »

Hi All,

There is a question on the OzFoG list for the format of Can-Con 2012.

One of the options is to go 850 points rather than the usual 800.

So, my question is:

What would you do with an extra 50 points?

Completely re-write your list?

Add an Inspirational General?

Buy another BG of troops or two?

Run around saying "the sky is falling"?

I think it depends a lot on what army you're running. I can see great value in my armies having access to an IC, but perhaps another BG of Heavy Foot might be good.

Interested in thoughts...

Having more generals is a waste of money. Buy more fighting troops. A good general is worth the points, but very rare.

Err, when I said "add an IC" I didn't mean buy an IC for 50 points... since they cost 80. I meant upgrading your 35point TC C-in-C to an 80 point IC, which costs 45 points... leaving you with 5 points.

Sorry - I should have been more specific.

Its nothing to do with the way you phrased the question, just my dislike of the officer class
