Seventh & Eighth Edition

By the seventh edition, rules had become incredibly bloated, beset by myriad patches and addendums that had culminated in a rulebook released over three books. Work on the eight edition planned to simplify, and return it back closer to the second edition, bringing the return of movement stats and gameplay that wouldn’t be amiss in a 90’s game. Nearing the end of development, it was decided to entirely rewrite the eighth edition into a simplified platform for tornaments and shifting stock. All of the work was abandonned, and the ruleset took an entirely new path far away from the second edition.
