Could a list of like 15 marines really handle this? 6 missile launchers (even if they are BS 3 thats at least 2 dead marines a turn) multi laser, ect.
I think you'd have your work cut out for you, espeacially if he deployed correctly and won first turn. |
Probably, but it is as you say: he'd have to get a good deployment, and first turn. Not all of which are always possible. I think on average, marines (BA especially because they can get that extra Black Rage movement) can get into combat quick enough and lay down enough fire of their own that they could handle thing pretty well. I'm not saying guard will always lose, but I think SM will do better on average in smaller games.
