The F&I wars also lend themselves to scenarios beyond the classic line up. Raids and escort missions take center stage, as does terrain dense tables that complicate the best laid plans.
The experiment with Bladestorm continues with big ogres providing an asymmetric fight against ten smaller, but no less fierce, opponents. This scenario has a very interesting method of potentially overlapping deployment zones that I’m excited to dig into a little deeper.
