I would have risked the jump pack marines reaching my lines, but the Kroot are there for just that job. Once the Rhinos are down, I would have gone for the jump pack marines and then mopped up the footsloggers. The tanks are annoying, but can only target one unit per Turn per squadron, and will be gunning for your melta piranhas early game anyway.Sholtohttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13576403929813478210noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-15145850866894297642010-05-11T17:36:44.192-04:002010-05-11T17:36:44.192-04:00I agree with you on the strategy of moving your fo...I agree with you on the strategy of moving your force up his left flank. That tight box of tanks would have been an excellent opportunity for you. Knock out a lead tank and one on his left, and you've managed to create a road block for him to have to maneuver the rest of his tanks around. Also, that Baal Predator would have to travel much farther to get to you.<br />Your position on his left flank would have provided you with an additional advantage from the structures in the mid field. He would have to travel through the firing lanes in between the buildings to get to you.<br /><br />What are you thinking of changing in your force to deal with the armor?

Setting up on the left meant you were going after the lone units but would be trapped on a small piece of the table by the remaining force, setting up on the far right would have meant those lone units would take a while to get to you (well, not the fast baal)<br /><br />How did the Ion cannon treat ya?<br /><br />How much shooting did you allocate towards Mephiston?<br /><br />How come no bonding knives on the Crisis suit teams? (drones are part of unit numbers total so on a team of 3 suits and 2 drones, if you lose 2 drones and a suit they can't regroup due to be below half with out a bonding knife)<br /><br />How did the pathfinders do?<br /><br />-KroxKroxitauhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05758855360104254725noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-39761493756760779192010-05-11T09:37:51.305-04:002010-05-11T09:37:51.305-04:00For a red army ... they're not very, well, red...For a red army ... they're not very, well, red.<br /><br />Nice summary, can't wait to hear the retake in round 2&3.suneokunhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08085094845127991965noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5489945968592018737.post-1733291019459532422010-05-11T09:12:43.201-04:002010-05-11T09:12:43.201-04:00Thanks for the props and attending, Tim - it was g...Thanks for the props and attending, Tim - it was great having you there, and I think your readers will enjoy the retelling of your more successful 2nd and 3rd rounds.<br /><br />To anyone reading Tim's blog - let me know via e-mail that you've registered for the Open after hearing a reference from Tim ... you won't regret it when you pick up your swag bags!Mike Brandt; mvbrandt@gmailhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00818846784767602047noreply@blogger.com
