With us playing 'fixed lists' , how will the usual pregame choices work?

Will opponents still declare faction before players choose which list they are playing, and which schemes they are taking? If so, its no biggie, but it will disadvantage those taking 3 lists from different factions.

Also, will you be publicising the lists that each player declares, or will they just be revealed over the weekend as they are played?

I guess we'll still have to declare faction as normal, and you only pick schemes once you've seen your opponent's crew anyway. Interesting question re declaring lists, I'd hope not as the idea is how to respond to the list once you've seen it on the table - it's bad enough we know the run of strategies so we can pre-pick schemes ;)

My thought was that if some of the lists will be replayed, if I finish my game early and wander round the tables, checking out the other games, I might have an advantage over a future opponent who hasn't seen any of my crews... especially if someone does take crews from multiple factions and effectively declare which list they are taking.

I wondered whether the three fixed lists would be an alternative to the declare faction step. Here are the three lists that you might face, choose one of your lists to face potentially any one of these...

Maybe instead of declaring faction, players should declare the three Masters that they are playing...or at least that should be published.

I'm probably over analysing...

I would have thought the best way would be to make your lists public as well as which lists you've used so far. Then you keep your choice for the game secret until just befdore you pick schemes as normal.

For the masters it would make sense for the lists to be public (after all submitted to Jo).

Afterall, you guys dont have anything to be scared about, do you ;)
