Number of BGs - poll

Post by nikgaukroger »

As requested by Pete.
Despite predictions that the DomRom Swarm would be the uber army this has not proved to be the case – but any army with a particularly high number of BGs is extremely difficult to defeat within the normal competition game time constraints.

One idea I want to float for competition organisers – why not limit the number the number of BGs?

My proposal – no more than 2 BGs per 100 AP.

So for 800 points – no more than 16 BGs. For 900 points – no more than 18 BGS.

These restrictions would only impact upon a very limited number of armies and such a restrictions would mean that the Army Lists and Rules could be left unchanged.

What do you think?

Thanks very much Nik - it doesn't look like it'll be a vote winner though!

Never mind.

I would't consider this valid until you have at least 100 votes.
