Default Re: What games are you waiting for in 2006?

Dark Omen is one of my favorite games of all time. MP was a complete blast, once we implemented tournament rules. Without them it was super easy to cheese out your army. It was unfortunate that it didn't sell well enough and the plans for expansions were dropped (happened with every single warhammer game until DoW).

I loved Silent Storm. My only gripe is I didn't appriciate the Sci-Fi elements towards the end. I spent hours just doing Random missions. IMHO its the best game of its type (and one of the only of its type) since JA.

As for the pigs, during the period that the game covered, if I'm not mistaken, they were only used once. The best counter to Elephants were vets who had faced them before and lots of pointy sticks. And even if they were the only counter the Romans used, I still don't think it should be a unit. Flaming pig smashes into the flank of the Barbarian line....Barbarian line crumbles. The day is won thanks to the Flaming pigs. Same reason I dislike the dogs being a unit.
