Friday Afternoon is Casual Play league

Wizards has started a new casual play format and we are happy to promote it at Boldo's With a continuous draft league.  Starting November 21 and continuing every Friday until December 26 Boldo's will run a continuous draft.  To play in the league you do not need a deck, the first week of play all players will buy 3 booster packs and these will be drafted to produce the card set for decks.  Every week you can either use the cards drafted from the previous week to draft with or buy new pack and keep the previous cards.  Players can make as many weeks as they like and join at any time! It is fun, ever changing, and costs 3 booster packs for 6 weeks of play.  All player will also get 2 foil prmium cards and there will be weekly prizes as well.

After being in charge of game development for the better part of this millenium Gav Thorp has spoken out against comp and tournaments.  In his tirade he did mention that all army books are made to be balanced.  Now I am not sure if I could do a good job designing a game but I am sure the army books are not balanced.  Under Gav's watch there has been no rules for point costing units, and many magic item combos have been just the right points to allow characters to take.  This might not be a problem but a number f books he did not design (like the dark elves) the points just do not work out.  Further the newer books seem to be overpowered compared to the older books.  For example nothing shoots like an empire army and the dwarves can built the same army but are not comparable.  is a 14 pt gunner really eqal to a triple shot 21 pt  fast cav gunner?  And who can match the magic of the Vampire Counts?  A move spell on a 7, raise units on a 4 (three most of the time), and Lords with 6 dice.   How do the Tomb Kings compare?  After all the units are identical.  So I only wonder how a 90 pot herald is equal to a 95 pt warrior piest, or a runesmith.  It seems that there have been numerous arguements over the years about which army book is best and which is worst.  So Gav I understand why you want to defend your work but to argue al books are fair seems to be an untendable rationalization.

Re: Army Balance

You should really write more warhammer strategy... I enjoy reading it. Especially because the closest thing to a hobby store in Aspen, CO is a knick-knack store with overpriced miniature bear statues...
