Malifaux 2E first impressions

[Gareth]

One of my major problems with 2E and coming from a Henchman, is pre-measuring. I don't mind it as a concept, and think it adds a good deal to Warhammer. But any game which allows 360* LoS loses a great deal of tactical requirement, with pre-measuring (I'll exclude Saga from that on the principal that you never know if you can activate your unit anyway.)

I'm not a fan of the new casting mechanics, the options for SS usage allowing triggers to be auto met, but I do have things I like (upgrades and Henchman SS usage being key.)


I guess it's swings and roundabouts. I prefer 1.5 but will doubt I'll be going back, seeing as support for tha game has stopped.
