When a Pursuit Becomes a Teleport: Boar Boyz, a Cannon, and the Rudest Rule in The Old World
We love these little moments in the hobby when a game turns into a quick rules clinic.
We had one of those very classic army-building conversations recently: it started with a rules question, immediately drifted into balance talk, and ended exactly where these things usually end — with us disagreeing about whether a unit is fun, oppressive,...
A Small Reinforcements Rule, a Big Tactical Headache
