Re: 1E Defensive Scenario Generation

You're absolutely right that as written right now someone could just be a complete turd and keep their fixed defenses out of a battle and stare smugly at his opponent until he finally completely loses it and jumps across the table to throttle him. :D Thanks for clarifying that, I also had the impre...
