You appear to have forgotten about breathing there buddy...

...but please, far be it from me to discourage you from continuing with that trend

With respect, the 'Forge World have changed a rule for a GW model' comment seems redundant also. They're two departments within the same company, writing rules for the same game. I get that on several occasions, it has looked like staff don't always communicate things fully with each other there, but do we really think that they literally don't talk, compare notes and agree on this stuff the *majority* of the time? O.o

Actually we've had it from the horse's mouth that it's often the case that FW doesn't get much of a head's up about anything.

I mean they literally just about finished Fires and were told to scrap because 8th was coming out in a few weeks maybe?

I'd heard that a lot of the issue with FW books/rules of late (Fires especially), was in great part the loss of Alan Bligh? He was certainly the heart of their writing team, and his death hit just prior to 8th launching.

It was a combination of both, but what I said about Fires being just about done is correct.

Can you give me a rules citation for this?

It's a future-proof way to solve an obvious problem. All future Dreads made by both GW and FW are covered by this.

Anything else would have lead to something being transported that should have or something things being unable to transport that should go into the stormraven.
