The Empire at War ... The Gamers Guild > The Old World Cometh Again !!!
New faq released!
Hoffa:
It is very clear that you don't get to change weapons after FBIGO and that also makes the reading that a round fought after FBIGO count's as the first round for things like flails dubious. (There is a contradiction in the wording forcing us to guess intent.)

The intent seems fairly clear - the combat is ongoing, challenges persist.
It does feel like they decided to add GG and FBIGO late in the development and didn't have time to assess the rulebook for jankiness.

My thought as well. Rules are copy-paste or borrowed with small rewrites from Warhammer and therefore are written under the assumption that charges only happen when a unit moves into combat. The odd thing is that the rule creating the contradiction,the infamous fourth bulletpoint on p213, is not copy-paste from any previous game. I guess this is typically GW. With an unneeded "clarification" for the most common case they create confusion about a less common case. A confusion that could easily be resolved by deleting the unneeded clarification.
GW are like some teachers I had, they manage to get the entire class to understand something in 5 minutes but then just can't stop talking leading to everyone getting confused by the unneeded extra information and examples.
TexasYankee71:
Great reads so far, well done, gentlemen. My Empire army (along with 90% of everything else I own) is stuck in Florida, so I just have my Nurgle Daemons with me, and am having a blast with TOW. Did anyone notice that the FAQs they put out for all the Legacy armies had no changes? Or did I just not see them? Seems weird that they would just repost them with no changes.
The Peacemaker:
They have changes but they don't announce it or highlight or anything. They really skimp on the labour for the game. Kind of annoys me since in my culture's work ethic you either do something correct or leave it to someone who can.
