| | so this is a starter set expansion but for the pre-release the new maps/starter wont be used? every rumor ive heard is that its bring your old maps and that its just a 2 booster setup. I would hav rather had it a 2 booster +starter setup but thats just me i guess | |

| I agree with your feelings, but with 5 fixed minis in the starter sets, we would see a lot of the same warband. The thing I dislike most is that I fear that a lot of players will not have the rules with them for cross-referencing. I fear above all that there will probably be a few players who have underestimated the fact that 2.0 is a new game alltogether and will show up completely unprepared. I hope my fears are ungrounded, but players can be quite lazy.
We'll see how it works out.

I wouldn't doubt it... Heck I've had people do that in 1.0.

You should start practicising, really. 2.0 is totally different from 1.0. Movement, lines, champions, even set-up is different now. And that's just the tip of the iceberg.

| | I should, but I have really no one to practice with. Plus, I think everyone who has signed up for the prerelease at my store is going in blind. Lol, should make for a long day. | |

Try vassal, or just read the rules and play some games against yourself just to experience the rules. | |

I'm 100% positive that this will happen in ours, because I'm going to be one of the guilty parties (partially ready, but without a firm grip on the rules). | |
