I'm a fan of competition, but I'd like to organize some local games in AZ where more factions have an better chance of it.

I have never played Highlander, but it seems to me that slimming things down to single CAD makes a lot of sense in terms of balance. However, would Highlander offer even more in terms of keeping things fair and to the point faction to faction?

I'm also thinking about narrative elements, but this is early stages.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691565/8668525.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/691565/8668525.page GMT CAD only it murders harlequins and Inquisition.
Forget highlander it kills Inquisition and weak codexes suffer more from it then the stronger ones. Thunderwolf, wulfen, screamer stars or knights don't care if you restrict them to just use one of them
The same holds true for maxing the amount of detachments.

Here are some of the idea's I like:
( just don't use all of them at the same time since some of them don't play nice with others of them. )

-remove all command benefits and bonuses from formation and detachments except objective secured.

-Use the better killteam rules like restrictions on unit choice ( such as total av, sv, wounds etc)

-Use the community comp system

-Just ask players to make a cool narrative list and convince them that this is their opportunity to play with stuff they regularly could not play with

-Use the community comp system as calculation tool to give players a extra points to spend when they don't field powerful units or combinations.
