Personally, I dislike overwatch and hate challenges. Cinematic should be opt-in, not default.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/503419/5221022.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/503419/5221022.page GMT So many rules.

Out of the 5 others I play with 3 of us do not like Overwatch just like you stated. It does make sense to have the overwatch, I mean in real life if there is actually a group of soldiers sitting in the open and another group rushes them, they will of course begin firing at the enemy rushing. However, it makes me angered at times as I assault and, somehow my buddy rolls twelve 6's and I miss over half of the saves now I'm down to half squad strength in the assault.

As for the challenges, we actually never do them ourselves. The concept is neat, but it sucks when used to counter an HQ that has high or strong attacks that the user would want to see used against the masses and not just 1 guy. So I agree with you on that one Mahtamori!

We don't like the fact that an 250 point tank could be " glanced " to death

Challenges just don't really play with, most the time we forget to do them anyway ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/503419/5237985.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/503419/5237985.page GMT So many rules.

Another thing that rather discourages me is that axe's are now Initiative 1. How is it that a regular 1 handed sword is regular, but a regular 1 handed axe is Initiative 1? I would be more for if any weapon that is 2 handed is unwieldy, but a simple 1 handed weapon? Hammers are understandable as well, but really, an axe.....foolish. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/503419/5239676.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/503419/5239676.page GMT So many rules.

they're power weapons. a regular Axe, Mace and Sword are the same, only the irregular souped up versions differ. I'm sure you're well aware of that, I'm just correcting your choice of words...]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/503419/5239921.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/503419/5239921.page GMT So many rules.

I am not trying to turn this into a rules debate, but in 6th edition ALL of the power weapons fit as either a sword, lance, axe, mace, or unique, and they all have separate rules, so yes, ANY power axe strikes at initiative 1.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/503419/5240222.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/503419/5240222.page GMT So many rules.

oh, I meant that it read like he was calling a Power Axe a Normal Axe but I imagine in-universe that only 1 out of 100 soldiers ever has a Power Weapon of any sort. I don't think a Power Axe is...
a simple 1 handed weapon
