600 pts.. new standard? That is going to make for an interesting worlds event!

Mechs as prizes again.. (YAY YAY YAY) That is the absolute best news I have heard!
Actually maybe not the best.. the best has to be House Davion is getting the next Battleforce set after ROTS!

Boosters now 15$ WIth two mech? it sounds interesting.. Maybe it will improve my booster pulling!

We get to decide whether or not Bannsons Raiders continue.. I will fight for their support. I actually fell off the HD wagon for a while and support BR... I still have a soft spot in my heart for them.

The one other thing I thought was interesting was this statement..
********************************************
At the moment? Artillery is dead. No new artillery will be showing up in the next few sets.
********************************************

They still haven't totally discounted it in the future!

Finally, a six hundred point standard! I've been calling for this for at least a year (DragonDawg can back me up on that:), and I still contend that it fixes a lot of the little things that are wrong with the game and also allows for many more options when building a truly competitive army.

Interesting that they said early in the chat that Us Nats would not be affected by the change, but worlds would. However, later in the chat, they said that Friday would be 450 and Sat 600. So 450 for sealed and 600 for constructed? I hope so! I'd much rather have a 600 constructed match at this point.


As for artillery... I don't see how they can discount it unless they get something with a similar mechanic. It is just too necessary against turtles armies to get rid of without bringing something in which serves the same function.

The one issue I really have with 600 pts.. If you play a Faction pride.. You are paying for a lot more and not getting as much.. Lets push for 900pt games

Actually I am not sure Zxqueb.. here is there statements

The 600-point build total will not be in effect for US Nationals. It WILL be in effect for Worlds.


Although they did say that July 1st would start the 600pt build.. I don't think they could do that for nationals..

The reason is.. Isn't Friday and Saturday Constructed? That would be silly to fight half your games one way and then be able to rebuild your army for the next half of constructed!

I tend to believe that Constructed is going to be 450 for Nationals..

Hrm.. Looked again, and it seems I did read it wrong.

But no if they follow the format of the past two years, Friday is sealed, Sat (July 1st) and Sun are constructed.
