I got 2 games in - easy and fast. Love it.
I suffered a bit from my choice of migrating my old Box team - my now 8 rotter Nurgle literally fell apart against a weaker orc team. And my flings, having been based on 1 RR + 2 Chefs, were struggling as it turned out that chefs haven't benn implemented yet. |

Chef is implemented but works differently in the new ruleset. They are now inducements instead of something you pay for. |

Just logged on to watch a game whilst at work and of 17 games on the game page all were Box games. I bet that hasn't happened before for a while. |

I can't watch games from work because the new client uses port 2223 which is in the blocked ports range. :S
Didn't have that problem with the old client so this is a clear disadvantage of the new client. |

I'm in the other boat. I couldn't watch the old client that well because it needed to be downloaded, and i had to hide the folder. Now I don't need to worry about that anymore. |

Are all [B] teams now LRB6 compliant? No grandfathering? |
There's a surplus of Ogres on Ogre teams, but that's all, I think. |

Rotter teams came out very badly, since all beastmen got down-graded to ordinary rotters.
Best part was all teams being placed in a post-game state allowing the hiring of journeymen for those short on players. |

I'm not a fan of the box idea in general simply because I think this game is too long / slow to sit through a poor matchup.
(Also I hate losing, so any time I lose I consider it a bad matchup. And I'm not a very good player, so you can see how anything except cherry-picks might be a problem for me )
I still gave it a whirl though, and have so far been positively surprised. Only 1.5 boring games in 5 matchups so far |
