Why the ST doesn't have a base?
« on: June 22, 2003, 11:38:17 AM »
Well, I think that it would be a lot more reasonable to give the Steam Tank a base... it makes many problems just to see if the ST can pass by a regiment or if it touches it or I had a situation that my St was bloked by a single base of some lizard swarms... I've spent 20 minutes arguing with my opponent if it can turn and charge another unit or if it is  blocked by the swarm. I just can't see a reason why the ST cannot have a base?

just make one out of cardbeard or foamcore or something, put some scenery on it a nd not only does it clear up the rules but it looks pretty too.

No It does not clear all rules because there are no rules for the St with a base... I mean the size and all.  And anyway it woun't go through on a tournament

I honestly think everything should have a base for mechanics sake.  Even artillery.  No more moving your crew to other side of the cannon to keep them juuusst out of charge range.

You mean that a enemy needs to reach the crew if they charge?
I thought they just needed to reach the Warmachine.

No, the charge is successful if you reach either the crew OR the machine itself - the crew then form up in contact with the chargers. Unless they fled of course.
