Default Re: Baron Spikey VS Dan 296

those are all good points, except for the fact that this a cleanse mission so I'm not going to be moving my entire army forwards to engage you. I'll be keeping a couple of Tactical Squads back to hold my quarter (and the quarter nearest me). Obviously I'd put them in the 2nd floor of buildings, thereby forcing you to fight through them to reach the advantageous heights where you can see my Vindicators side and rear armour. Even if you use your Chaplain squad and terminators to root them out I've got 3 squads of 6 terminators (one of them being a 3 wound Chaplain) waiting as rapid reaction forces.

And the cover save problem is something faced by your own troops- all that plasma and those krak missiles wont do much whilst im in cover, and if you move that fire power potential drops alarmingly. Also once I've got Terminators on the board and im starting to combine fire with them, the tactical squads, and the vindicators you've got difficult choices to make- heavy flamers IGNORE cover saves...
