I wonder how this format treats the newer/younger players. One thing I *like* about HeroScape tourneys is that an 11 year old with a good army that he put together & playtested himself can come get 2d place at Clan's last tournament. Not that I have a particular 11 year old in mind, after all, he was only 10 at the time.
Anyway I'm wondering, dok, whether the advantage this format gives to those who have a more encyclopedic and nuanced familiarity with the units might remove the puncher's chance that players get in more traditional formats.
Not saying it's a good thing or a bad thing. Just wondering...
