My friends and I have recently been getting back into BFG, and we happened to stumble across the special rules for BFG:Revised. After a brief read-through things more or less seem the same with a few changes here and there. Now I don't know if there is anything newer than version 1.1, or if a 1.2 is in the works, but it is good to know that such a great game is getting some love. That being said there are some errors in the PDF that should be fixed (some more important than others) for example page #24 and #25 are out of order, and sometimes the punctuation and sentences in places don't entirely make sense.
Page 24 and 25 bring me to my second point, which is the change to fighters which gives them all a 4+ save. I have read through the section in the forum where a bunch of you are discussing the merits/flaws of that system twice over, and it still doesn't make sense. Seeing as how our gaming group has an Imperial Fleet, a Chaos Fleet, an Eldar Fleet, and a Space Marine fleet, it might be understandable that over half of our group has an issue with this change. Giving everyone a 4+ save significantly devalues the Eldar fighters and SM Thunderhawks, which all have smaller launch bays to compensate. IN and Chaos have much easier access to cheap carriers which have greater capacity, making spamming "resilient" fighters rather obnoxious. It was often sighted in the other thread that fighters aren't good enough in an offensive bomber wave, but it really doesn't seem to me that that is their role. Isn't the point of a fighter that it gives an important defense against enemy ordinance? Shouldn't releasing a bomber wave or a fighter wave be a tactical choice depending on the situation and the fleet you are facing? Would adding the rule for fighters helping in the bombing run also make them more desirable in a mixed wave, but still make them less annoyingly powerful and without devaluing the smaller launch bays of Eldar or Space Marines?
I am sure there are more changes and subtle nuances in the rules for BFG:R than what we have found so far, and that future readings will only produce more questions and concerns.
With that in mind that you all for your time and for your effort, in reading my post and answering my current and future questions.
