Tabletop Tactics on Playtesting 9th

[StraightSilver]

I must admit I came out of that video feeling a lot more positive about 9th than I did before.

I watch almost all of the TTT videos and I trust their opinion on this so I am glad they are positive about everything that's been revealed so far.

I welcome the change to table size tbh. I live in London so space is very much a premium so having space on my 6x4 for cards, books etc is a bonus.

I'm still not 100% sold on the new matched play but I feel better about it than before but my mind was already made up to stick to Crusade anyway and this has cemented that.

I feel more positive about matched play though and it will be good if tournaments do all use the GW missions as it felt like there really was a "UK" version and a "US" version of the game (massively over-generalising but hope you know what I mean).

I wouldn't exactly read too much into the video. They don't bring up a single honest issue or concern, since obviously GW wouldn't like that and would deny them future freebies/behind-the-scenes opportunities. I wouldn't be shocked if they were sent an e-mail prior 'suggesting' some key talking points they should really, ahem, 'discuss'.

That's almost directly questioning their integrity though as Lawrence specifically says if there was any issues he would tell us. At some point you have to actually trust people and what they say.

 

TTT have sometimes been very critical of releases, especially Chef and BBone. I can't see GW involving them at all if they had any concerns in that regard.

Whilst that’s a fair point, it’s also very hard to believe that there are absolutely no issues with this new ruleset or edition. It seems very unlikely given GWs track record. Just in 8th they said it was the most playtested and thorough edition ever and straight out the gate they had to fix a bunch of stuff like flyers holding objectives.

 

I’m not at all saying these guys are being disingenuous but they’re also really close to it and sometimes that blinds people to problems.

 

 

Oh there will definitely be issues, they allude to the fact that will have missed stuff in their video too.  It's being play tested by humans not some mechanicus automaton :)

 

I think it boils down to how GW fix the issues which when comparing 7th to 8th, they were 100% improved upon, unfortunately leading to a lot more paperwork to carry around.  Hopefully with the new app these changes can be made there and the physical book weight of a game greatly reduced.

TTT has openly discussed issues they have with 8th edition.
