Joe Camerieri Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 In reading the base to base section I did not see anywhere that says corner to corner counts. There is a picture in the support section that shows three dwarves fighting and gaining support and one of them is corner to corner. Does corner to corner count for base to base? I seem to recall in the 1st edition book it was specifically stated and clarified that it counted but I don't see anything in this edition. thanks in advance.

vejlin Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Any physical touching of bases now counts as base to base contact. You remember correctly that this was not the case in 1st edition Warlord. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
joshuaslater Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Best resolution to that issue I think. Also, it means someone can bring a round model base or two into a game and not worry about it. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
vejlin Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 how would that be allowed? I mean sure you can bring round bases for friendly games, but it's very clearly not a part of the rules. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
orcsoul Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 Yea, not quite sure how well a roudn based model would be... as without the base taking a full square inch, you'd be hard pressed to judge when you had corner to corner basing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gus Landt Posted August 21, 2009 Share Posted August 21, 2009 I really tried to allow round bases as options in Warlord 2. I almost had it too, but the sticky wicket was the AoE rules. There would have been a clear advantage to using round bases over square bases, and all existing players may have felt it necessary to re-base their entire armies. The picture of the dwarves fighting the cyclops was meant to illustrate that even corner to corner contact counted. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewWarlord Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I haven't read the 2nd edition rules yet (My book should be here next Tuesday) But If the AoE is like 1st edition, where is the advantage? Center point to center point on Area of Effect should have rendered base size and shape meaningless? Now I'm curious what the rules are in 2nd edition for AoE. and DAAAAAAAAANG... I've been putting everything on round bases because of my rpg addiction and previous round based models. However, I think I have a solution. I'll work on a write up or video on it in case anyone else wants to use it if they made the same mistake I did by using round bases. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Brushmaster Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 (edited) There are a whole lot of things that have changed but for starters , Area of Effect now means that it just has to cover the base . You shold also look here to view a pinnned topic on the subject of changes . Edited August 24, 2009 by Brushmaster Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NewWarlord Posted August 24, 2009 Share Posted August 24, 2009 I feared that was the case. Oh well. I still want to play the new edition. I have a solution if anyone else needs one for temporary conversion of round to square bases using dirt cheap high powered tiny magnets and 25mm non-slotted square bases. The cost for conversion comes out to under 50 cents a model. Not bad to get the best of both worlds (that is if you like round bases) I'll work on getting together a video for explanation of the conversion.
