For rules for the leaders, I’m thinking they should allow you to re-roll one to three dice each battle or even each round of battle. That to me says that the leader has the potential to impact a battle in a meaningful way, but it is not a guarantee of victory, nor should it rule out the possibility of a leaderless enemy beating you through better luck (i.e. roll of the dice). This also allows for different levels of leaders if you so desire; for instance, maybe Patton lets you re-roll two dice each battle while Eisenhower gives you three re-rolls. I intentionally tried to provide multiple sculpts where possible so that this sort of rule would be possible.
Imperious Leader, if you can share what sort of fortification or coastal fort you are looking for I’d be happy to try to make it. Please send me a private message over on the Shapeways site and we can talk specifics (it’s easier for me if the conversation happens there as it keeps all model design related talk in one place that I can refer back to when I’m doing the actual work).
Tall Paul, I’d love to see what the rest of the capitals look like painted! I haven’t gotten around to painting my own set yet, though I’m hoping to in the next few weeks.
Thanks,
EBard
