Default Re: Tactica Obliterators

yes, they are worth their points when used properly.

the first thing to remember is that oblits are an IN RESPONSE unit. not an initiative one.

you use them in response to something. also, they are slow. so you have to have a set idea of what you want them to do before using them.

1. identify your biggest baddest ugliest target when they roll reserve.
2. DS NEAR not on it.
3. Destory it.
4. Count them as dead. in smaller games 3 oblits can be wasted points. take 2 or even 1 depending on your point limit. if they last more than that single turn then they have another target to shoot. (if you think not remember they have lascannons) but make sure that your first target 1. can be killed by them in 1 turn. 2. is worth more points than they are.

then you're golden
