Yeah, those WAAC TFGs, expecting people to play by the rules and not take extra movement distance. How awful of them, they should be banned from life.

Ah good ol Peregrine lol.

Yeah if you are freaking out about a move so small it doesn't have any tangible effect in the game in a casual setting, you are tfg.

Shortly after 8E dropped, the FLGS ran an escalation league, I forget the exact starting points, but a Start Collecting or the Starter would get you enough out of the gate. It had some 6 newcomers and at least 2 old guard (they tried to rope me in, but I knew better). The old guard players were long-time tournament players. By the third round of games, half the newcomers had dropped out as they got ROLFstomped by the old guard players*, who were delighted they'd been handed fresh meat. By the end of the league the only ones still playing were the two old guard players, who were by then using their lists to "practice" for a regional tournament. Two of the newcomers had switched to playing at each other's house, the remainder sold their collection off on e-bay or traded it for another game.

Poor business decisions by store owner. He should have leveled playing field to get customers interested in new product...

Oh really? No tangible effect? So if I roll my charge distance and come up 1/8" short you'll just happily let me have the extra distance and wipe your unit off the table instead of failing the charge? If you measure range and are only within range by 1/8" you'll be fine with me telling you that you aren't in range enough, that 1/8" doesn't count and you don't get to claim it? Of course not. If the rules say you get to move up to 6" then the rule is 6", not 6" plus however much extra distance you want to add because you're "casual". And if you get outraged and argue that you're entitled to break the rules in your favor, well, that's pretty clear TFG behavior.
