There has been much discussion of the effectiveness of shooters and warband in HOTT v2.0. Shooters, it is felt, are too powerful as they stand, whilst warband are not really cost-effective despite being an important 'line' troop type.
The following changes have been suggested, tried, and found to work at most major UK tournaments:
The movement of shooters in both good and bad going has been reduced from 300p to 200p
The movement of warband in both good and bad going has been increased from 200p to 300p
Whilst this is not an official amendment it has seen much use since January 2004, and has been shown to make things much more balanced. It is heartily recommended that you adopt these changes.
