The figure they came out with was kato in wave 8. He could move two squads. (I should finish General Death....he would go good with my newly purchased death knights.)

NOTE: I didnt make that fig or paint it.

Awesome. You know what I am impressed with the most? You know exactly what you should change and I assume you know why.

Well Dragon, you had some comments in this post that expressed what you would/should have changed, but apparently you deleted them right before I posted. A shame, I preemptively accredited you for the ability to critique yourself.

I would make it 2 Utgar squads, and not the same squad twice. If you took two turns with Blastatrons, you also get to move 8 Gladiatrons. If you take two turns with the Nakitas, you get to move 6 Gorillinators. If you take two turns with MacDirks, Knights of Weston, Blade Gruts, Heavy Gruts, Arrow Gruts, Roman Soldiers, Greek Soldiers, GREENSCALES, for Pete's sake, you get two turns with two heroes, which could be Braxas twice!

I would consider seriously revising it, even beyond my Utgar "fix." Otherwise, it looks very good! I really like what you are going for.

I was wondering how deep you were reading into his message Griff cause I wasn't seeing anything that suggested he knew what to change. Lay off the Burt's Beer

I can't help it that he changed his post before I posted. Caught me off guard when Bats asked me what the heck I was talking about.

Sorry about that. I was going to, but then it just sounded like something people didnt need to read. I figured Id just do it myself if I ever got around to it. But seeing how I kinda already said something and then removed it....leaving you in a funny place I will give my revision ideas again. It was along the lines of....

Make the ambush more unit specific, and re-phrase to correct any kinks. (if order marker 3 is on General Death, you may instead take a turn with two different relentless squads who follow Utgar) Also, I would probably either reduce his attack, and/or possibly remove the deadly strike.

Sorry Griff, there is a little extra in there that I didnt have the first time.

Most of that sounds familiar.

Great review.

This C3V Public Announcement was brought to you by Burt's Beer. You're looking like a beer in headlights. Yum.

I'm guessing he had some suggested change about bonding squads?

[DragonSlayer2]

Just to say after trying it I found a few things else. I stated just order marker three. So I would re-word it as follows

AMBUSH: After revealing order marker 3 on General Death, you may instead take a turn with up to two different _____ squads who follow Utgar.

but you would still have a problem with the new death knights and any unit that bonds. You would get to move them, they bond with General Death. So on turn three you would be able to move General Death (bonding) squad (ambush) General Death normal movement. So I think there shoule be a clause that a unit activated by ambush cannot bond this turn.

So with that being said:

AMBUSH: After revealing order marker 3 on General Death, you may instead take a turn with up to two different _____ squads who follow Utgar. Any squad activated by ambush may not bond this turn.

That takes care of ambush.

Just to make it sound more "official"

AMBUSH After revealing order marker 3 on General Death, you may instead take a turn with up to two different ______ squads who follow Utgar. Any squad activated by ambush may not use any ability that activates prior to movement.

I'll check if that screws up any non-bonding abilities in a second...

EDIT- Nope, the anubians and hounds get screwed...

EDIT2- AMBUSH: after revealing order marker 3 on General Death, you may instead take a turn with up to two different _______ squads who follow Utgar. Any squad activated by ambush may not activate any abilities that allow them to take a turn with or move friendly figures.

Sounds good, I think.

[Taeblewalker]

I like it! Ambush should allow a variety of squads, and removing the Bonding option opens up more units for use. The only thing left to consider is whether you really want the high end squads, such as Minions, to take two turns, which would possibly make you rethink your cost for the General. At a high enough price, though, it isn't broken. You probably don't even need to limit it to a particular personality/species, etc.
