E&C, can you clarify that?

I believe it was originally a typo (Don't know if it was TRC or me now), but it could be kept.

After all, the Siegemasters *are* overpowered...

I don't think it's the basic Infantry that are over-powered... and you're using the NetERC recommended point changes for the core formations for the most part... so to have them be *worse* and *cost more* than Siege Infantry doesn't make any sense.

Remember, Siegemasters are overpowered. :)

Even with the NetERC changes the Siegemasters are still overpowered when Powergamed properly in true TRC style.

Have you won any games with the Mossinians, Rug?  *LAUGH*

This *REALLY* seems to indicate that the list needs better, focused, and *talked about* testing...

Yeah, but I don't think it's the extra Heavy Stubbers doing that... *laugh*

It's cheap formations and cheap fortifications... all together!

Will 2x the ammount of Heavy Stubbers compensate for losing Fearless?  :devil:

Given time I think we can further evolve THIS list.... Chroma's 4 strong Howitzers is an easy but obvious big change, or a more expensive combined AA gun Howitzer formation could be explored. The issue is time .... it's not my call! I just don't want an overly poweful list.

I'd like to see something like the "mixed" Tank Platoon I put in my variant... with, possibly, the ability to add some Hellhounds for anti-infantry support.

The Mossians do win- but you've got to use your infantry companies! even though they are rubbish!

Could you post a couple of your army lists, Rug?  I'd just like to see the direction you've taken the army in.

no comments about the rules minutiae, but I'm very impressed by the spit and polish of the pdf. Really like the story too, spent a pleasant coffee break reading it :)

Is it just me or are rapiers the worst of the three field gun upgrades?

They've always been the worst as far as I'm concerned, because they're an AT weapon in a formation that really should be shooting at AP targets.
