Maybe I haven't been reading all the posts about this. I just finished my 2nd game of Medge. The Karist forces easily crushed the Epirian forces. Then I added up the points of the lists I was using. Turns out the Karists were at 140 pt vs the Epirians at 114. That is very lopsided! It's funny, I was thinking that having 2 Mature Angels was unfair. Their teleport, plus Fearsome (2), in addition to their extreme hardiness made them very strong. Now I see I was correct.

Dropping a single Mature Angel takes the Karists down to 127. I can add another Hunter-class Warmech and finally be on equal footing between the forces.

Just to be specific, here's what I was playing with:
Journeyman Bot Handler
2nd Dom Pistol
Aerial Uplink Drones

Contractor Engineers (3)
1 Aux. Grenade Launcher

If I'm not mistaken the second Angel is a bonus for kickstarter backers, so a standard box would have a little more even distribution in points I guess.

Yeah, the second angel is an extra, so it's not surprising it tips things a little in the Karists' favour.

Also if you start at 140 pts of Karists and remove a Mature Angel you'll have 117 pts, not 127, as they are 23 each. So you're already very close, no need to add another Hunter.

Awesome!! I love it even more! (I was kinda thinking that myself)

Do you have any tactical nuggets to share from your games? Or list combos that worked particularly well?
