Is anyone here playing this multiplayer? I've played a couple of ranked matches now and enjoying the tactical battles and wondered if any Thumbs fancied some matches. The 10,000 point limit on Ranked forces some interesting decisions in choosing your squad and I've seen a few interesting combinations already. Ghosting assault dudes at the expense of anything else seem popular. This is kind of bad timing as I'm off on Holiday at the weekend and hectic with work so I can actually go, but when I get back I'll be around for some matches. Maybe we can do a tournament type thing if enough are interested?
