Any feedback on the battleboards?
So far it seems to be that the Undead board works , the Lizardman is a bit weak and may need to be made a bit more punchy.
What about the weak Pygmy board and the shooty Elves?

I'll try out the Elves soon (your BB, not mine), either this Thursday or the weekend v Undead.
Haven't seen the Lizard Man one but my Lizard's are all in Roman Armour and I have that from the SAGA forum.
I do reckon that the shooty Elves will be a tough proposition for anyone, I intend to go for nothing but Hearth Guard, 8 Strong and a Super Elite 12 strong that shoot 12 dice... that's gotta be a real killer near or far!
Anyways I'll let you know...

The Byzantine board allows you to have hearthguard with bows and mounted ones as well. It even allwos you to have Armour 6 Hearthguard.
I think I may need to snip out the Skaven and see how the Skaven board works.

HI Folks,
Well, we played Undead vs Elves BUT my Elven oppponant decided to not use your Board but instead opted for the Normans as they had more Mounted Abilities and so allowed his Silver helms to be more punchy... that was his logic... a very sad affair follwoed and we abanddoned the game on turn four...
Essentailly, my 8 strong mounted hearth guard with the mounted Warlord in tow charged forward, they got shot by 2 Levey at double long range, I recovered losses, I moved up, he shot 2 levy & 1 crossbow unit, I recovered undead, i slammed into his silver helms and ate 4 he killed 2 and i recovered them, he slammed into me with remianig 5 and the warlords met, warlords canceled each other out, he lost 3 silver helms I lost 3 which i recovered again, next trun I wiped him out and recovered all losses...
Next, he shot me up, i recovered undead, I then slammed into his cross bow and wiped them out with HG & Warlord... game over...
complete opposite to whgen I played elves and went for all shooty double HG and warrior units, my tactic was to concentrate and wipe out 1 unit at a time and keep them at a distance... otheriwse undead are very tough.
Things is, all the factions are tough and you've just got to figure out how to fight them. A fact that he proved as he anialated my Jomsvikings with his Vikings... seriously, you want tough you go for Varangian Guard and Harald Hadrada as a hero... thats propper kick ass!
Anyway, back to topic, I like the Undead board, though its tough you've got to play the scenario to its max and avoid melee unless you stand a chance to wipe out the unit OR engage them ALL at once and thereby make it hard to recover wounds OR shoot the crap out of them.
What I don't like and would like a new board is for Elves that have more Mounted abilities similar to Normans... easy to do but if you have any ideas on them I'd rather hear them then make my own...can't be accused of favoritisn if I did not write them.
Thanks and remember, Practice makes Perfect... next time I fight the Vikings it will be all about negating the Varangian Guard, next I fight Elves... I'l do the same thing only with a bigger HG unit... 12 sounds bloody tough!
