Version 0.41 released, and a sneak peek into the future

Hello War Gamers, 

I have to say I feel very fortunate. I've got lots of ideas, I'm getting really helpful feedback, and all I need now is time to execute and play test. 

This week is a fairly minor update - some playtesting revealed that I had left in a mechanic in v0.40 that no longer made sense - the rule that a squad with casualties faces some kind of penalty when activating. That was the result of lots of play testing with v0.3x, and ultimately it just didn't pan out how I wanted it to at the time. Not to worry though, I have some ideas on how I might reintroduce a similar mechanic in the future. Stay tuned...

That being said, I'm taking a small break from rule-writing to focus my attention on model-building. If you read my last post carefully, you'll note that the units I've posted parts lists and instructions for don't actually meet my own recommendations for sizes. That's largely because my model building has gotten ahead of my instruction-publishing, but I am working on addressing that. 

First of the new units is the Pact Mech. You can see the new design on the left, and the original on the right.  You may be pleased to learn that unlike the original, all of the parts needed for the new model are available on Lego Pick A Brick, and should cost you right around $1.02 in parts. As far as minis go, that's a real steal. 

Anyhoo, that's all for now. Expect more model updates to come from me in the coming weeks. 

Happy War Gaming!
