...Fair point, I should have made myself more clear.<br /><br />This situation is achieved only if you are close enough to the opponent. Most of the time I have found that a Space Marine player will either stay still to shoot at you with all of the Land Raider weapons or run away (until there is no more board to go to). If he assaulted the Battlewagon with the Terminators on his previous turn then he would be charged in my turn even if he destroyed it. So I am assuming that he stayed still to shoot at me. Doesn't happen in every game of course, but if it happens you should certainly take advantage of it.<br /><br />The explosion would kill 6 boyz on average. This would definitely hurt but you got enough of them to still block his movement. <br /><br />Thanks for giving me a chance to clear this up, I hope the rest of the stuff in the post are not as confusing.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11142379276012984189noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3003460294388138998.post-86372429672204057492010-09-24T17:10:33.363+03:002010-09-24T17:10:33.363+03:00Regarding your surround tactic... how are you supp...Regarding your surround tactic... how are you supposed to get into position for that? If the LR moved up to the Battlewagon in the SM turn, the terms would get out and assault your Wagon, probably killing it. Even if they didn't, how do you deploy your squad on both sides of the Wagon whilst maintaining squad coherency? Then, moving 6" along a LR - chances are you won't be able to wrap around the rear... and if you deploy on just one side of the wagon to maintain coherency, you definitely can't lap all the way round - not without running, which is in the shooting phase, after the battlewagon is supposed to ram it. Speaking of which, if you do ram it and get an explodes result, well you've got a good chance of thinning your numbers enough to invalidate this tactic.<br /><br />Assuming the wagon and LR came face to face in the Ork turn, well your boys can't move into position without running, your battlewagon can't ram after dropping the boyz off, meaning you have to wait for next turn... in which case he tank shocks you and gets out and assaults.<br /><br />I can't see a way to get this tactic to work against any opponent who is... well to be honest, awake. The rest of the tactics have value mind.Gingehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04155099423475435032noreply@blogger.com
