First of all, the aging system works has a hard but honest effect on your team. It's definetely better than the Af's and although some are hit harder by the system, in general most will be hit by several NI. Our league has several teams which have 3/4+ NI from aging or a statt decrease. Strategic decision making is needed to keep your team in shape, which is hard, but fun......
Second, just read GenonB post on the winnings and can only agree. It's totally comical in some respects, but in a good way. My undead team is blessed with many lucky FF rolls and is now still able to receive money after the games. My Darkelf team (with 250 TR) has had incredible bad luck and with it's FF 3 after 22 games (started with 5) has given them a total winning of 10K after 5 games
They just can't replace anybody and their future looks grim, but they'll survive somehow.Third, the Af's for wizards is pretty good. Haven't been irritated by a TD stopper for ages.
I loved the ally rules as well, but our group found a compromise for this one because they didn't want to lose their precious woodelf catchers and the models they bought as allies for other teams.
So, after playing with the new rules for a while, I can only state that I enjoy them.
Keep on going BBRC....
