Argh, forget this thread - I put up the poll but in addition to a wrong poll, it seems that I managed to put up a regular thread too :eek:

So please vote/coment on the poll -thread!

Thats difficult:

The Hero SA - surprisingly it it quite playable - forces the build of infantry, favors one nation army and if used as a minor enhancement to armies might work out as real fun.

The (can use anything ability) is bent and dented, but can be repaired - I suggested several possible erratas (-1 for vehicles, -1 for unfamiliar equipment, SAs apply fully) with them it would be a nice twist to the rules, but as it is it is dangerous.

The Resourceful hero in person: - Wrong just wrong. THe Hero ability with the given Attack/defense values for a 8 point cost (less than a SE PT and equal to the Defiant PT is WRONG JUST WRONG) and in addition the dangerous SA he has. - Make it 16 points and it might be OK, but not for half of this.

Depends a lot on what other minis are in the set to keep the game balenced.
We have only seen the US hero, so we know the allies have an uber-strong mini for only 8 points.
We don't yet know what the axis get to compensate ???

If only the US get a hero, or only the US hero is this cost-effective. Then it seriously needs to be fixed.
If all the major nations get a hero, at about the same level of cost-effectiveness. then we can look at exactly how it changes the game. One of the long-standing complaints about AAM game-balence is that combined arms is fairly pointless. And the heros might be a "fix" for that problem. Admitedly a wierd fix :rolleyes:

It would be hard to fix it. The Hero is neícknamed Resourceful, I doubt that every (or even another) hero will have this unique ability. And making other equal powerful SAs for other heros will kill the game IMHO. A better fix would be an errata of the SA.
