11th edition rules - missions

 So this is the last of the rules posts for 11th that I'm going to post. There have been more previews, leaks and reveals but I'm not going to go through them all. Missions is something I want to talk about as there have been a few changes that I think will be good but until we see the full list, it's kind of hard to really tell. 

The missions are now split up in to five categories, and you'll now pick one as your primary and your actual mission will vary depending upon what you opponent picks. 

I don't know yet whether there will be any restrictions on which mission type you can take depending upon armies but I suspect not. I also wonder if there will be faction specific mission decks as well, where you replace either the whole deck or maybe just a specific mission sets. 

So the new missions work by pairing up cards from certain missions sets, the set you've chosen and the set your opponent chose, such as the cards above and below. This will, in theory, change the primary mission every game, unless you and your opponent always choose the same missions! 

While I have only seen 3 missions I think there will be a good range of missions, and there will be something for everyone, although I suspect that out of the 5 missions in each mission pack, there will be at least one mission that won't suit and will be the one you dread coming up. 

Until we see the full range of missions, I'm still positive about this change. It gives you a little more control over the mission selection, which is always good.
