Greetings All.
I've somewhat recently discovered the OPR rules and have played a couple of great games with Havoc and Titan Lords. But for me there is one quite big problem with the ruleset: as far as I can tell, there is no point in having units that can both fight in melee and shoot, as each turn half of the invested points would do nothing, as units can either shoot or charge. While there were spells that allowed units to charge, that was less of an issue, and I get that these spells were OP and deserved to be removed. But how combined shooting/melee units are supposed to compete now with specialised ones now? Because now, for example in Titan Lords army, only the Knights with only guns or with only melee weapons are viable. Same with Destroyers loadout, either good melee or good shooting. And this situation means that half on the units and even armies (for example, Custodian Brothers, where everyone can both shoot and figh in melee) are extremely inefficient.
Personally, I would think that allowing charging units to shoot (maybe at a penalty to hit) would be beneficial. Or allow the 6" of movent given by expensive heroes be used to enter Melee.
How do you deal with this problem in your games?
