The Missing Piece

I’ve talked before here and on the Iron Agenda about being more than ready for the arrival of MkII, but I’m still hesitant.   I’ve finally realized why I haven’t been willing to forsake MkI completely – the lack of official stat cards.     That in turn made me realize just how convenient stat cards are for play.

I haven’t played as many miniature games as some people and for the past few years Warmachine and Hordes have been my game of choice.   And in that time I’ve become so spoiled by having everything I need in front of me without having to reference a book or flipping through printouts, that playing from those types of media feels like a lot of work.

Granted, the rules play just as well either way, and there are plenty of communities that are using the MkII printout exclusively and aren’t having any issue.   It’s really just a psychological thing, but since the MkI rules are still solid enough to play, I’m finding it difficult to give up my cards for some printouts.

January can’t get here quick enough.
