I would have thought the Heavy Dragoons should have Armour 5+ and the light Dragoons only Armour 6+.
Thanks for the feedback.
The 6+ save Heavy Dragoons and 5+ light were for two reasons:
1. Balance. I wanted the two flavours of dragoon to be the same price but thought that the 45cm AT shot would be far more desirable than the 30cm AP option. Depending on feedback I’m inclined to either increase the Heavy Dragoon save or decrease the light Dragoon save.
2. Background. The Heavy Dragoons are just intended to be a pack mounted heavy weapon team, where the light Dragoons are more elite and therefore survivable.
That makes sense,

Next iteration I’m going to lower the two core formations by 25pts each as well as drop the Dragoon formation to 175pts. The core choices need to be quite expensive as the list has access to so many handy cheap activations in the support section.
Should the SC retinue be 0-1 choice.
Would it be worth just dropping the SC retinue to 350 points, if it is a 0-1 choice (4 of the 5 E-UK guard lists now only have a 50 point difference between the SC and normal core formation).
also, if you are trying to keep the core formations cost up around the 300 mark, as a slight boost for them would it be worth considering +1 to engage actions (similar to Ulani "blitzkrieg" rule )
could the dragoons upgrade for the core formation be 0-4 @ 25 points each , helps those who don't want the supreme commander to be BTS if they don't take an upgraded conqueror/mechanised formation and makes it easier to use up any spare 25 points.
