Sp you should stop doing it

I agree. Damnit, you'll be rolling to hit next.

No, you;ll actually be rolling to see if you shoot, which will then allow you to roll to hit, of course after making sure not to roll a one, which causes your weapon to jam and is rendered unusable for the rest of them game.

yay random!

So you're going to criticise something by arbitrarily dividing it up into sub-units, then putting a random variable into each step?
Grow up.

I'm..not sure how to respond. I thought the point of this thread and what it linked to was the idea of randomness becoming absurd in the supposed 7th edition.

Aw c'mon, at least it's funny. And I say that whilst supporting the idea of random charge distances.

OP: I admit, I giggled. Bonus points for the cliché British language.

Well they also got a gaurenteed+3 inch pile in move. The whingers forgot about that.

Looking forward to the batrep of this.

Randomness is so tactical, I just can't wait. If anything, I say we should roll to see if we can roll. Also random deployment(using deepstrike rules in deployment zone) and random winning, scraping VP and objectives altogether. Tactical cinematic fun.

We need to take this down ASAP before someone that works at GW sees this and decides it is a good idea.

Too late! Didn't you know GW has automatic auspex scans everu 3 milliseconds?

GW still uses auspexes?

That's silly. GW doesn't believe the internet even exists.

Random Charge range could be due to any numbers of factors. They're on a battlefield, stuffs blowing up, people are dying. Also the turns are supposed to be simultaneous, and the game is abstract. On the board its static miniatures. In the game its warriors and soldiers moving around. The 10 orcs charging 5 marines who roll a 5, when you needed a 6 coulbe be that the lead orks charge too soon, got to far ahead, and realized the boyz weren't backing them up, and then realized its better to fight another day and hightailed it back to the rest of the mob. It would have made more sense if you roll 2d6 and if failed move the larger of the 2 dice to actually represent a failed charge.

And like I said the rest of the random crap is crap, except for maybe battlefield terrain placement. Traits, terrain, and the mystery objectives is utter crap.

No company does.
