Terrain also matters in this game. Theyre not just LOS blockers or stuff that slows you down, you are incentivized to hunker down and stay in cover in legion and even scale and climb the terrain to flank. Looking at you 40k that may as well just have blocks on the board cuz all 40k terrain does is block line of sight most of the time.

@@logan-9900 There is a difference between fantasy and utter flights of fancy. In anything like a real battle, most participants will try to find and stay in hard cover. The game rules, as simple as they are, reflect this. They encourage players to keep units/minis in hard cover... just like the troopers that the minis represent would probably do. This is an example of good rules writing - the rules make players do things that reflect the simulated situation. It is pretty much the original point of war gaming. If you prefer flight of fancy games, like WH40K, that's fine. But WH40K, though its backstory is rich and entertaining, is actually shit as a war game. It is supposed to be a far-future game and it does include many troop types with powerful ranged weapons. But the rule set mostly encourages players to just throw their troops forward into assault. The rules are not written to encourage "real world" behavior *even if* that "real world" is actually a fantasy world.

Battle forces are a great way to start too. You get 2 sets of command cards in it usually the army specific cards and then the character specific cards. If you buy the starter set with just the dice and tools, you get the generic command cards too so you already have a good and diverse command hand to run in a skirmish game. Battle forced also give you a lot of support and corps units that you dont need to buy multiple of if youre starting out your army. The nice thing about legion is that they tend to put 2-4 of your cheap front line units into n box sets meaning you dont have to go out and keep buying individual sets of those units
