There appear to be various 'rumours' floating about about a version three of the rules. Although I think the rules are the best I've yet played with there is room for improvement (game could do with speeding up). I just hope this in the form of an amendment sheet, rather than another expensive book to buy.

But, on the subject of speeding things, up I'd like to see:

(1) Addition of an 'instant' break rule. For example, a BG which receives, say, three more hits than inflicted and suffers one hit per two bases immediately routs.

(2) A -1 penalty for units seeing friends of equal of better status break (at the moment all they have to do is test). Also, a BG has to test if a routing friendly unit of equal of better status at any time passes within 3 MU (but does not apply the -1 penalty after the initial rout).

Any other suggestions?

Thanks for that. It all sounds very interesting although I hope the 'bias' towards HF isn't going to make mounted armies useless (and I say that as a current user of a virtually all HF army).
