it was great fun, worked really well and managed to finish all my games so the timing seemed right.
I agree fireball was very powerful, maybe 2D3 for the winds of magic instead of 2d6 would help, then if you are lucky you could cast the more powerful version but on average 4 power dice meaning only the mid range fireball is going to get cast. This may still be too powerful though with such small model count armies?
I think Gareth and Justin suggested no signature spells.
Another option could be only allowing the lower power spells so the fireball can only be D6 S4 hits at 24".
Personally the restriction of 3 ranking units i found quite hard to fit into a high elf army, but maybe that was because I wanted to take a mage as well. What about min 2 ranking units for a bit more flexibility and that would also create larger units if people wanted?
