The new activation mechanic has really kicked up game play. With a larger group we have one Uber leader on each side making the final call on using Activation markers with other players running infantry sections or tanks - the big change is now there is a lot more tactical thinking and babble than when we played the standard Bolt "one and done" activation system.<br />And it makes for a very different game. One quick example, if side A devours all its Activation markers and allows side B to make several uncontested moves, the results can be very dramatic and deadly - you always one to keep something in reserve.<br />I'll be interested to see if other players tweak or adopt Iron Cross to other rules - or just play IC straight across.<br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10556964171678939998noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3060774784000500705.post-44524419042609921392015-12-17T08:08:35.510+00:002015-12-17T08:08:35.510+00:00I'm interested to hear how these rules play so...I'm interested to hear how these rules play so will look forward to your thoughts after your first game!Mallius Vanehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11017597212038657943noreply@blogger.com
