What is a "fast" army and how is it different from a "slow" army? What is the difference between speed and mobility? Why is Nighthaunt a "slow" army when it can deploy from reserve, teleport, and retreat & charge? The gang answers all these questions, and delves deeper into the topic of what makes an army fast.
