As you can see, I'm using MK II as the naming convention for unit summary. No statlines
are entered, though sometimes they can be construed from the analysis of strengths and
weaknesses. I've started adding certain phrases as tactical links where you can click on
them and see a list of similar effects. They are "piped" meaning they link to a location, but
the word for the link is different from the location.



Power Attack:Slam
Disruption Effects
Critical Effect
Knockdown
Stationary Effect
Dice minus I think I should rename to Target dice or something.

Any suggestions with layout and information?

I'm not sure if I'm getting the feats and synergy portion correct, but trying my best.

Does anyone know if Iron Horse allows heavy warjacks to ride by attack without spending focus?

And can they buy additional attacks when they're done moving?

These pdf cards from the field test make it really easy for me to mark up a text with
ideas before I edit. Wonderful stuff, really.

There's no rule that says heavy jacks have to spend focus to perform Ride By attacks. Iron Horse allows them to do something that they cannot normally do straight up.

Per the rules for Ride By attack, you don't get the second part of your movement until after you finish your combat action. So no additional attacks after the second Ride By movement.

Formatting question:

Is it easier for you to read the spells with bullets or in a condensed summary?

Also, do you think the spells need its own section for the warcaster, or is it fine included in the mix?

I think the current format is fine as the spells are easy to find in the Special abilities section and the bullets make them readable. Hit the spell names with bold and it's close to perfect in my opinion.

Edit: So I think the format in eNemo is better than the format in pHaley, I hadn't looked at the newest format you had done before jumping to comment

I've made a template. If you edit the template, you can cut and paste the code to use in
new articles. I'll probably just go in and edit.

Next article is probably Commander Stryker.

Nice. Do you use Siege? I'm currently using the card printouts (a godsend!) from the
field test to scratch out notes on unit abilities. My coworkers keep thinking that I have a fancy
new rubric to play with.

One thing that I'm trying to do is standardize the name based on what's on the Field Test Card.

I think that's a good way to go about it...

No yet, been trying to figure out him since Stryker is getting a bit old for me and Siege seemed to fit with the other models I've painted. So the article is based on how I've figured him out and the obvious synergies in my meta environment with Mk2.
