Some of the older kits can be fiddly, but a lot of the newer ones have arms attached to guns…not all the guns though…so the fiddliness is still there. The most recent chaps I built I had problems slinging a rifle over a shoulder…and I’m not 100% happy with it… They are still nicer than metal, though; better detail.
Not so much a fog of war, more an element of chaos. Helps keep you immersed. As the old saying goes, no battle plan survives the first shot, and that comes across. You can have a perfect plan in place to get your Carrier Section up on to the objective and suddenly your opponent get to move one first and BAM! Carriers pinned before you get a chance to move. Really add in chaos well.
Probably the worst is a 40k game where you DON’T go first and just lose everything before you can return fire. It’s demoralising and literally ends the game for you. Happens to me far too often, particularly with my older brother who refuses to play matched play rules for it so he deepstrikes turn one and murders my warlord before he can move. That sucks.
Before there were no rules preventing Medics from harming anyone; they could still shoot any weapons they had. The 2nd edition deny them the ability to shoot any weapons (even from transports) but nothing says you can’t shoot them yourself, and that’s what I refuse to do. I can’t remember exactly how the Convention is worded, but for medics you basically cannot shoot at anyone bearing a recognised badges like the Red Cross, for example. There is one great story that I’ve heard somewhere of a British medical tent in the Desert being overrun by Rommel and they just carried on tending the wounded of both sides and, I think, even being thanked by Rommel personally for it. I think, for me, I might actually add that in a house rule…maybe… We’ll see.
The actual Gevena Convention is a bit long and complicated… 😛 I like WW2 stuff…
Have some most excellent Finnish music, everyone!
