Agreed.  We usually knock out scenarios and/or campaigns on the fly and while they are close, they are typically not exactly balanced.

And every once in a while we run into something like playing Catachans with 2BP per stand in a jungle scenario where line of sight is nearly non-existent.

It was a joy to be Orks on that day, let me tell you. :p

Balanced or not, I play 2800 when I want a nice one evening game and would not have a problem joining a 10k or 20k game on a weekend just for fun, regardless of balance. ?:p

2800... why not 3000. See nice round number :D. Mmmm... nice shiny zeroes.

:p

At this point I think it is habit more then anything.  :laugh:

3k would be a good number to move to, if I can get the crew to play again, I will have to get them to change the number.  :D

Well using the AT1/SM1 system ... you decide on a Basic Force Level(BFL), say 3000 pts ... Then based on mission chits you draw, the points could go up or down ... And of course the mission and actual points are secret and all you know is if you are ATK or DEF ... You roll off in the beginning ... high die chooses ... Simple and IMO the best system going ... ? ? ?:;): So a 3000 BFL could go as low as 2500 and as high as 3750 ... ?Plus we use the SM1 "Over-the-Top" rule ... ? If you guys are not familiar with these rules, you really should check them out. ?They should work for any version of Epic you play ... ? :;): We wouldn't use any others except for an occasional "historical scenario" ! ?:laugh:
