1. Why is a player limited to taking 2 marches on their turn?

2. Can anyone think of a reason why a player should NOT be allowed to take a march with each army?

3. Would such a change incentive players to spread around their forces a bit more, and is that something we want to encourage in the game?

4. Has anyone tried this before, and if so what were your results?

'why' who knows, it's been that way for too long.

brainstorming some reasons I might not want to allow it...

it makes magic more powerful. if i'm playing something like Feral, I could cast hide and windwalks from reserves on a common at each terrain and run them up.

I could also dump a single medusa in reserves and get a 'free' 1:5 change to do stone every turn, while taking my normal actions at a terrain.

I could more easily kill something via magic in one action and then bury it via a second one.

why I might NOT do it, even if it was allowed? because a single large army can do more damage in melee or missile than two smaller armies. (because the save applies once and not to each attack).

I also think it stems from having to make a choice with limited options. Basically you have to use more strategy to make the most of 2 marches over 3.

Fair points for some cases where 3+ potential marches has other implications. However I am really interested in your thoughts on question #3.

Perhaps a shake-up in established strategies would be good for the game?
