I see this desire for a Range 2 unit frequently. I wonder if this is something that Craig has considered and if it will ever come about?

The problem is Range 2 without all of the oddities that come from Range. I don't think people really want to see a Range 2 melee unit that can poke troops up on top of a castle wall.

I heard a rumor about an upcoming Cowboy named Shorty McDud. He's Guilty's kid brother and his range is 2 and a half.

The mental image is hilarious!

Vampires seem a bit out of place but, I'm excited as a vampire enthusiast...I'd take getting some wave 6 anywhere around here though before getting overly excited about wave 7 which if released in April means maybe June/July before the stores around here get them...

If the name of the wave is "Field of Valor", that tells me the figures should be predominantly Jandar and Ullar. All the 'valiant' personalities are either Jandar or Ullar. Now, the problem I have with that name is with the pack named Fiends and Vampires, obviously that whole pack will be UTGAR! I'm not crazy about that. To balance that out, I would like to see all the other figures be Jandar and Ullar--but that won't happen unless the Spearmen are not Ashigaru. Jandar and Ullar aren't getting the love! I am excited for this wave--especially if there is another Elf wizard--but I dislike the fact that Utgar will still get a significant addition in a wave titled 'Fields of Valor'.

Well, I can't argue that fiends won't be Utgar, but I think that Vampires may be Vydar. I hope so, at least.

To be fair, don't forget that the 4rth Mass, Sir Dendrick, and the Knights of Weston all came out the "Utgar's Rage" wave.

I'm excited for Vampires and Fiends.

Now with the Knights Templar, this opens up a possible custom for the "bad" if the pack is good and vice versa. Maybe they'll have the opposite in a different pack. Not being too familiar to Templar, were the good and bad templar from the same army or even era?

It would be cool if the Vampires were heroes, and each were from a different type. One could be a classic Nosferatu type with mind powers and such for Utgar, another a gunslinger ala underworld for Vydar, and the other a Dracula type of guy with great physical presence and military skills for Einar.

I agree Sweetcurse. I don't think I'd really want a squad of vampires myself. Heck if they can have gunslingers from different generals; Guilty (Einar), James Murphy (Vydar) and Deadeye Dan (Ullar), then why not with vampires?
