we are going to discuss the data slate that isn't a data slate.
Yeah, I was looking forward to opening up a PDF with all of my summaries and red text.
And I look, there's not one PDF.
There's what, 28?
It's like 32 or something.
Yeah, it's great.
We'll talk about it, but let's get into this.
Sounds good.
All right, before we start off, before Happy Bread goes into a hole to die, I do want to talk a bit about some good stuff.
11th edition has had a just a straight up astounding start.
It's shocking how balanced everything was in 11th.
Look, every edition, the start is always a hilarious dumpster fire.
That's OK. It's part of the fun of it.
But 11th has been shockingly well done.
There has not been huge, hilariously wrong balance changes.
Our worst win rate factions are still under 60%.
Dispositions have been mostly balanced.
We'll talk about it.
It's been a pretty good start and I want to give GW props there.
And then they said like, hey, we'll do an emergency balance patch one month in and then we can do one every month if we need up till fall.
In this first one, they have told us that they will be doing one in a month.
And then after that, they're just going to wait till the fall data slate like usual, and we will do quarterly updates from there.
I do heavily appreciate Games Workshop for that.
I'm so used to the quarterly data slates that I see they're committing, hey, every month we are looking at, you know, every faction, all the detachments.
It seems like they're very much saying, okay, we're going to have monthly things, but there's a little bit of restraint as well, where it's not like we're going to completely change the game every quarter.
