@ihadhq: Did you see what *I* did to the Orks? Move & Eat 2. Eat 2 & Eat 2. That double move works fine for Nids, too.

I think Orks should be A2R1 or M1A2

Seen that. But its different. Orks could run away and nids can't M/A them. Eldar could hit and run on a daily basis and nids could not retaliate if the eldar post close to a new day.

So orks = may attack but can't reinforce then.
And nids = may attack and reinforce but cant move then.
Eldar may attack, reinforce and move.

2 options / 3 options.
I think 3 is better than 2.......

Plus unrestricted movement vs M1.
Ork = moves 1, maybe another opponent there.
Nid = moves 1, maybe more food there.
Eldar = moves to empty location, far away from anyones reach.

Agreed, beeing online when a new turn begins has some advantages.

If Orks run, then they don't attack, either, so it's zero-zero

That said, I don't have unrestricted movement in my game.

And were willing to give it a try next week.

Yup. The only thing that's going to be close will be the SM Deep Strike and the CSM Infiltrate moves, but that's their first move, and done.

Not only is TeamS a cool game in and of itself, playing it will give us a better idea of how StratS can be made better or whether we need to go into a different direction.

Thanks, Manchu. Once Team Survivor gets rolling and we see how it plays, I'll be more than happy to work with you on making "Strat Survivor 2". The Team Survivor skeleton has a lot of possibilities for interesting gameplay variants.

Agree that "run & reinforce" leads nowhere

Exactly, this is what we want to avoid at all costs, hence I advocate restricting the ability of ALL races that can move and reinforce. Reinforce should (IMHO) be done in lieu of all else, which makes having a strong home base (with allies) very important.

Agree that Eldar have great chance for end-game draw

Eldar will be hard to kill, but it is unlikely to end in a fair draw as Eldar can only Max 10 while others will have plenty of opportunity to max out above and beyond Eldar reach.
If Eldar are M* in a Linear Board, I'm in favour of the other armies having more movement.

All:

FYI, Manchu and I will be launching Team Survivor Game 2 in a week or two. We are looking for input and suggestions, along with potential interest.

Thanks,

I'm not dead.

I think i'm going to drop out of this, and probably won't even join team survivor two.

Have alot of things to do, the genestealer game is already pushing it.

So, I obviously won't have a desire to pick up game one, more so since my being a dunce would leave JohnHwangDD out of the game.

OK, no problem. It's all OK, just a game.

...You basterd, I lost the Game.
