For example Empire and Brets being the basic have a 3+ cap as standard. Chaos, DOC and Elves cap at 2+ Skaven and O&G cap at 4+. (I haven't read beastman or OK yet, so not sure with their big boys, err beasts)

Now to further this along and increase the need and staying power of Core a +1 to cap for all core units, and a -1 to cap for all mounted units.

What are others thoughts?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/281230/1365247.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/281230/1365247.page GMT Rank Bonuses
The core and mounted options are interesting. I don't think the mounted one has any realistic affect though. I don't think I've ever seen a cav unit with a full 3 rank bonus. Just too expensive.

Core option might have legs though...

I've seen it one time with 3 and that was goblin wolf riders, before my RBT shot at them. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/281230/1366849.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/281230/1366849.page GMT Rank Bonuses http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/281230/1397254.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/281230/1397254.page GMT Re:Rank Bonuses
So with a frontage of 5 your max. rank bonus would be +3.

If your frontage was 8 models you could claim a rank bonus of up to +6.

This way you are accepting a penalty (greater chance of multiple charges, less maneauverable etc.) for the increased rank bonus.

It also means you don't end up with odd looking 'long units' with a frontage of 5 men with 40 blokes standing behind them in a line.

It worked reasonably well tbh and certainly encourage larger units - which I always prefer. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/281230/1397998.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/281230/1397998.page GMT Rank Bonuses http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/281230/1405781.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/281230/1405781.page GMT
