If they're a ring then M2 armies like SM have effectively unlimited movement. Was that the intent?

Or are SM starting at B only able to reach E, C & D?

From page 1 of the gathering thread:

Think of these theaters represented by circles arranged together in a pentagon. The space between each circle requires movement. For example, moving between alpha and beta or between epsilon and alpha requires M1 while moving between alpha and gamma or delta and alpha requires M2.


I agree with Shaman.

@ john: the movement of those following the restrictions isn't unlimited like that of no restrictions.....

Good catch on the SM. Would make a difference in games with more theaters. Even here it affects strafing deployments. I think the next game will be on a line.

@Manchu-I was going to ask about this, The ring setup gives an inordinate advantage to a move 2 and attack 2 army.

Now, I am getting a little confused with all of the talk of revisions. Could you edit the original post to show the current army abiliries as they stand for this game?

It's now edited to the way Manchu wanted it. However, we could definitely use the abilities posted on the first thread, it would really help.

Correct. With 5 (or fewer) points on a ring, SM have effectively unlimited M.

With 6 (or more) points on a ring, SM would have 1 (or more) points they cannot reach.

I second this request - it would be immensely helpful if the first post contained *all* of the Rules so that we did not have to refer back to the original thread.

Where are the moves of those still missing to post?

I see there a lot of requests for rules-changes, so do we still have a game or are we back to the comments thread?

I don't see any rules changes, although I would suggest that we amend notation as follows:

? not-yet-gone (army)
* taken-turn (army)

Easy to see who's gone and who's not.


Thus:

Armageddon (alpha)
? Cadians (IG) 15
* Vostroyans (IG) 16
* Black Templars (SM) 7
* Raven Guard (SM) 10
* World Eaters (CSM) 11

Craftworld Iyanden (beta)
* Ulthwe (Eldar) 10
? Biel-Tan (Eldar) 10

Ultramar (gamma)
* Kraken (Nids) 16
? Goffs Orks) 8
* Night Lords (CSM) 11

Eye of Terror (delta)
* Zandros (Eldar) 10
* Freebooterz (Orks) 11
* Saim-Hann (Eldar) 10

Alveus Alpha Alpha Sextus (epsilon)
* Red Corsairs (CSM) 11
* Blood Axes (Orks) 9

As I see it, only Cadians, Biel Tan, and Goffs still haven't taken their turn.

WHO resets the notations at the next turn?
Seems Manchu doesn't want to post " turn X = now" and I doubt everyone likes to edit the list if s/he is the first to post in the next turn.

The has/hasn't gone notation doesn't seem helpful enough to merit the effort. But I leave the decision in your collective hands. There wasn't a great deal of rules commentary in the first thread so I thought we might as well get started with this one as a play test. No rules changes until it becomes apparent that something is really broken--as per the decision regarding Eldar and CSM in the Interest Thread. I welcome the commentary, however.

Holy crap. First, you want to know who hasn't gone, and I pull it together, and now you say it's too much effort? :eyeroll:
