Ok, it wasn't really something that bothered me much before, as there was already an established range for Kings of War before the rules came out, so I just added each new race as it became available.  With the release of Warpath, and a starter set straight off the bat, it throws a spanner in the works, as there will be two races released around the same time.

So, pretty much as the poll says, would you prefer the boards were laid out alphabetically, or chronologically?

If you have any comments or other suggestions, I'm all ears.

I went chronological because I prefer to resist change Wink by that I mean that the list order I get used to won't change as new armies get added Smiley

I voted chronology as well for pretty much the same reasons.

Well, I've said chronological as well, partly due to that is how the Kings of War section is set up, and it means no extra work for me (or Darsc) to rearrange them.

That being said, it means I can't add any further boards to Warpath, beyond the Corporation and the 8th Race, as we don't know the order they are coming out in...  Or, I could throw up boards for them all straight away, and juggle them once the release schedule becomes known.

I don't see an issue with juggling Wink

I have no preference for order, but the boards for the different armies might be better off as child forums to stop the list of forums from getting too unwieldy.

Keep the KoW ones as the are, and go alphabetical for the Warpath ones that will be coming out on release (then add new boards as the schedule is confirmed). TBH, I don't really see the need for a board for an army so far ahead that we don't even know when its coming. What are you going to put in it? "This board is for the Rebels. Allessio described them as mixed-race hippies in spaaaace who oppose the Corporation. And, er, this might be concept art for them. Or not - it could be for something else..."
