So Things are getting Firey over on the WWPD forums. as well as FOW's forums. I wanted to see what folks thought of things. For a full listen from the owner of the game, check the Episode 9 of why we fight and have a listen...the earlier one is chock full of info as well. forum.wwpd.net/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=20320wwpd.libsyn.com/podcast - episode 9 They'll be covering it more. Some highlights I came out with... 1. Arty is nerfed for Tanks and buffed for Infantry (lower AT, better FP) 2. Planes are more like Team Yankee 3. Conversion charts for EW and LW for the new pt. SCale 4. FOrces will work with a V3 and V4 button 5. 110 pg book, rule book is free (just like V3 was) 6. Many special rules are integrated and eliminated 7. Recon is beat up and nerfed (Kevin pops the champagne as an armored car burns in the background) 8. MidWar is redone at 100pt level with cards and a new intro thing for new players 9. Pacific Mid War is coming 10. no new plastic infantry, just tanks are a priority 11. Taking multiple formations should be more viable. Also, note for 2018 it looks like historicon will be in sunny NJ...so we need to carpool to that big time. If I get any dirt early from the WWPD writer's room, I'll send it along. Thoughts?

I'm listening to the podcast now. Generally, I'm positive about this - after leaving the game for three years and coming back to it, I couldn't believe how many special rules had been bolted on.
We should have some kind of "farewell to 3rd edition" big game!

A game focused heavily, if not solely, on obscure units with uniquely applied special rules...

Don't say 40k wes....don't say it!
I'm up for a final event for Midwar to celebrate V3 departing into the sunset? tournament in February? Themed Game in the desert or on the Eastern Front? I could throw something together.
I'm optimistic about the changes as well. I think it will clean up a lot and rid us of some of the overburdened special rules.
Mission tactics for Germans is gone (since the rule is integrated into all the rules) the same is true for a few others. There are a lot of special things that everyone gets to do normally now, making it less complicated I feel.
