SR18 CID?

Granted, I play Trolls and a little Khador, but the one change I would like is to replace or overhaul Spread the Net. It is easily the worst scenario in the packet. Here is an idea I have:

I think this would do a better job of forcing engagement without punishing less maneuverable armies as much:

I also considered moving the flags out to the rectangles but that felt even more similar to Recon:

Or maybe to the outsides of the rectangles:

I would like to see a restriction on warlock units contesting multiple zones, and/or warlocks scoring multiple scenario elements in a single turn (Coven, most notably, but also just the ol' toe two zones trick)

I would like to see created models be unable to contest or score.

(wishlist): I would like to see incorporeal models be unable to score or contest while incorporeal. There is currently a glut of cheap incorporeal models (gremlin swarms, feralgeists, Haley echoes, blackbanes) which give a massive boost on scenario, and require a disproportionate amount of effort to remove (particularly for certain factions).

I love Spread the Net. Easily the most live scenario and lots of fun little plays that can make huge differences. The Pit II and breakdown(?) are IMO the worst scenarios as there is no 'outside' element and it's just a slog in the middle there's no scoring hardly ever and it just feels like there might as well not be a scenario on the table at all. I like your scenario mock-ups troll, but I like them as a replacement for something other than Spread the Net.





I dislike all of these ideas.

1. Coven may be an issue but i'm pretty sure toeing two zones is not only intended but a desired strategy. generally to be able to do that your warcaster/warlock has to be fairly far forward and likely in the middle of things.

2. Why? Incubi are still solos, thrall warriors are still solos. I just am not sure what you're trying to achieve other than making uncommon models even less common.

3. I dislike this one least because it kind of makes sense but again, you're trying to punish someone for bringing strong tools. it's not you opponent's fault you can't deal with it. yes incorporeal models are annoying to deal with but it's been a thing for almost a year now, I think most players have adapted to it as best they can.

It was stated during the CID that casters scoring multiple zones at the same time is definitely a feature and not a bug. It's the new "Dominate" from older SR's.

Also, if a Warlock unit is spread out to contest multiple zones, that means the officer of the unit, so the warcaster is somewhere in the middle, that means he's pretty far up the board and you can kill him?

Blackbane's Ghost Raiders is single unit in a single theme that has fallen out of favour and they're not actually cheap (11/17 for victim stats). Haley Echoes are kind of ridiculous, but all the others are fairly easy to kill if you have a single magical weapon in your list. Gremlin Swarms are slightly harder because Stealth and multiple wounds.

I also hope they will just do some slight tweaks, because I really like the current SR. During the CID I was one of the people that gave Spread the Net a thumbs up, because it's one of the most live scenarios, even early on. Though I do think now that perhaps it's a bit too live, but not by much.

I would like incorporeal not contesting/scoring unless it's gone corporeal, thank you. Obviously give those models an option to voluntarily become corporeal for a turn.

Toeing two zones is one thing. Coven scoring 3 scenario elements (potentially) in a turn is quite another, as is Haley Echoes stalling the game and making it virtually impossible to score zones unless you are capable of repeatedly removing a Def 18 Incorporeal model.

I personally have no issue killing gremlin swarms. I play Circle and Ret, and have an abundance of magic attacks with which to murder the buggers. I do NOT think it leads to a good game to have incorporeal models be not only a gear check on the attrition level, but also in terms of scenario. It's a particular problem for Khador, but other factions don't have easy access to magic weapons, or have access to them only in a select few places (or centered on one theme). 

Also, if we happen to be looking at ways to make Grymkin less obnoxious, having them not be able to hold every zone and flag with free Gremlin swarms would be a start. The models offer plenty of utility by body blocking, putting damage on constructs, and Serenity. 

I play Cygnar believe it or not. I forgot that jokes are not allowed, my bad
