This week we take a look at the nature of miniature games and ask the question...is it reasonable to expect a miniature game to remained balanced as the model portfolio grows? That is what we mean by post-competitive. We take a positive look at this and answer the question for ourselves. I hope you will watch this and come up with your own opinions. WMH is super fun to play...but is it no longer the paragon of competitive wargaming it might have been at one time? Also themed lists based on Kubo and the Two Strings and Star Crashed!

Was WM ever a paragon of balance, or was it only being compared to GW?

As the rosters of each factions continue to grow, it's only going to get more difficult to keep things balanced. Thankfully, CID exists. Overall, there are more balanced games out there (Infinity, Bolt Action, Kings of War), but WM is still pretty decent overall. We'll have to see how well 8th Ed. of 40k turns out. |

Loved the discussion on the player skill levels vs how aggressive they were in discussions and interactions with the community. You guys bring a fair and balanced perspective on the game. Like the news station, but without all the bullshit. |
