OK, the Retribution book came in last night and I had a little looksy. The thing that interested me the most was the idea of tiered lists. Bojan's opinion (I'm paraphrasing here) is that it is PP's way of making people buy more identical units and thus increase sales (you cynic you
) and I have also heard that it is a way for PP to control play and thus enforce balanced lists.Both of these maybe true and to a lesser or greater extent probably are, but I would say that there is a large part of me that likes this idea quite a lot. The basic reason is that it is fluffly and I like the fluff. When playing larger games I would always pair Stryker, Caine and Brisbane together as they were in Sul and Haley and Nemo together as they fought side by side in the North. Thus it wasn't necessarily the best lists but it felt right (if that makes sense). So I would be interested in making some tiered list tournaments next year (I believe that this is going to be a popular option for the smaller events with many of the pressgangers) and was wondering if players would support that?
