Although looking at my list and seeing a vast majority of AP 5/6 mobile weapons with some AP3 ignoring cover templates i don't think seeking cover was a priority except for the possibility of blocking LoS.<br />I do however agree about the positioning, holding down the left egde as opposed to taking a central position would have meant any forces i pulled in on the right would have to move out of cover to get into range.<br />As for his list, i liked the theme and admire the balls to take an all infantry elite force, but as you stated it isn't the best.<br />Thanks for the comment + compliment!Dayve220https://www.blogger.com/profile/03055698112889579944noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4245214668754619191.post-89529015161387249052011-03-06T07:36:54.157-08:002011-03-06T07:36:54.157-08:00In this case, it was a mission which heavily favou...In this case, it was a mission which heavily favoured you because your opponent had a poor area to deploy, and you were able to deploy over pretty much most of the board, making best use of cover. That's pretty much a gamebreaker off the bat. But I would have deep struck at least 2 squads of obliterators (was deep strike allowed under the tournament rules?). That's one of the reasons to take them: so you can put them where you want. He would have been better served deploying in a corner or against the left table edge, behind the rocks where he couldn't get caught in a pincer move like he did and would still have a lane of fire. If the mission is annihilation, he could have tried to hide better. Also, his list was terrible. How do you take small units of expensive marines, with a squishy-ish HQ, and not give them rhinos? With no assault units, or plague marines, or demon princes, or a mobile firing base he was pretty much asking for this outcome. None of this detracts from your gameplay, which appears to be exactly what it should have been, so, good job, you =)Quietus Rexhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04623553262085693311noreply@blogger.com
