SAGA FAQ September 2013

[Stuart]

And that's part of the reason I need to ask questions about the 7point lists. I'm not going anywhere near mounted units against certain armies. The Javelin/Mounted armour penalty against shooting for instance, makes mounted stuff a liability against Normans. On the other hand if you can alter deployed unit sizes, against Anglo-Danes multi mounted troops could cause you havoc.

Assuming I've interpreted the question correctly, I've just checked the rules for the event at Total Wargamer and you could change the unit sizes deployed between games i.e. 8 Warriors for 1 point could be fielded as a single unit or two 4 man units in different games. Worth checking though for the Alvechurch event, although I would imagine the format would be similar.

I'm starting to enjoy SAGA, as there appears to be a great tactical element even before the game has begun. Similar to Malifaux, army creation at the table is something I really like.

Totally agree, I like the balance of a simple set of core rules combined with the element of national "flavour" and tactics added by the individual battleboards.
