Re: Have "swarm" armies survived Raknar's expansio

I think the game is still well-balanced, overall.

Some of Wave 4.5 were designed to kill squads, that's for sure, but swarming remains one of the best tactics in the game. If you wield 10 squads of Vipers, you will still have more than a fighting chance against the guy that's only wielding 2 to 4 big guys....being able to lose huge numbers of troops while attacking 3 or 4 or more times a turn against multiple figures is a HUGE advantage, no matter how big the foe.

Also, large heroes can be brought down by other heroes, which should be supporting your squads in most cases.

Braxas is unable to use her power against large figures like Marrden Hounds and Swog Riders. Q9 can be easily tied up to prevent him from shooting lots of squaddies...same with Nilfheim. Jotun falls to range fairly often.
