What didn’t work for me was a discount to buy minitures I already owned wich would still be my money and space for stuff I didnt realy want to need. Limited cross over of minis between systems, ie Would I still have to think about wich minis I can use in adventure mode vs pvp, so still dealing with multiple umbrellas. And the disconect and lack of consideration given to what many players might have already pledged for in prevous campaigns

If instead I had been offered a conan centric expansion to create pvp senarios and the cards to combine Pantheon mins in both both pvp and adventures along side conan and other IP’s (specificaly for me Zombicie Black Plague or Blood Rage) then I would have been on board. Ultimately I felt they were trying to sell me a big war game stuffed onto a small-ish board, when I was looking for 1 unbrella system that would be flexible enough to scale between adventure, skirmish and battle.

If there was any confusion it was how the staments and advertising didn’t meet expectations. I got the impresion I was going to be able to do more with all the minis I own but at the end of the day I if I wanted to buy into thier new pvp system my existing Conan and Pantheon was still going to sit on shelf collecting dust because I still had to buy into thier faction boxes to ‘maintain balanced armies’. And the legacy system they were offering was to use faction boxes in adventure mode when it should have been the other way round.
