why not just get rid of run all together?

Again with the complaining. Doesn't it ever stop?

Another post by Draddog in one of the CA announcement threads (either the announcement or one of the previews), he mentioned that CA was designed by the previous design team (which would make sense because of the time table and the time of firings).

If you want to see what the new team cooks up, wait for the expansion after CA. (Which is why I think the poll on factions being left out came up, because the new design team is probably deciding to go with the decision to leave out a faction in CA, or sweep the mistake under the rug)

Of course CA isn't gonna fix anything wrong with MW so far. :)

I've noticed that in the original release, the bigger stuff (especially Mechs) seemed to have pretty high attack values, like around 9, and 10.

They've seemed to have tapered down until CA.

A dual tank drop, dual artillery, dual command (multi-task command units like BR-Sprints or Tamaras Raiders help greatly) + support army handles unsurprisingly well, eliminating most of the suggested new rules armies (which mostly seem to be 250+ points in 'Mechs, 1 artillery + support) within minutes.
It has a few problems with a dual charger army but hey, who cares?

What frightens me is the devaluation of cheap units except for harassers purposes with the new rules.

I wonder what will happen when people will realize that 'Mechs are still largely unplayable and owned by tank drop and artillery and that all the the propsed rule changes did was eliminating a lot of artillery units and cheap units from competitive play further narrowing the "useable" units.

I'm not sure about the tankdrop thing. Fast mechs can usually handle any drop. If you do it right you can kill the tank along w/ the transport. A dual drop may get one mech but that should be it.

The whole idea of the rule change is to devalue the cheaper units. The overall point system is way out of whack at the moment.

Slow mechs will be as worthless as ever with the new rules. Theyn will make the good mechs better but don't do much for the Derrick Hasbanis of the world.
