DuskRaider vs Valliant vs Lord Darakathos

[Lord Aulianas Darakathos]

Damn. Well then can I at least----

What do you mean I'm out of rebuttles?

Awwwww....

And I was planning on putting a monolith on Val's head.

[BrotherValliant]

HA! Id have to change my name to pyramidhead *cough silent hill cough* bless you sir bless you!

[Jericho199]

I'm far from a Necron expert (and don't have the codex!), but I believe monoliths can deep strike. And 'necron' units can teleport onto the field via the monolith.

If anyone can verify this for me that'd be great. I'll withhold voting till then as this would make a very big difference in the battle outcome.

[DuskRaider]

Yes, they can. They cannot land on terrain however, so having them atop the towers would be nigh impossible. Also, I believe if you hit them with vehicle shaken, they actually crash and can be destroyed. At least that's what I've heard, so I don't know for certain.

[Bremmer925]

1) Yes they can deepstrike.
2) No they can't telaport.
3) They react to fire the same as any other skimmer that moves 6" or less.
4) They cannot "land" on the towers, however they can go ovewr them since they are skimmers.

Alright, now that we all know let's see some necron tactics!

[Lord Aulianas Darakathos]

I already gave my tactics. I was just going to have my Necrons wait until Val's and Dusk's fights were over, and then slay the pieces.

Given that we have two 'sit-back-and-wait' players here, I figured I would have to go a bit more aggressive, so I sent my liths, destroyers, and most of my warriors against Dusk, and the remainder of my forces to make sure Val doesn't take advantage of my flank.

Essentially, I'm hitting Dusk hard. As hard as I can, in fact.

[BrotherValliant]

you know these dam 3 way battles are really hard to organize as far as tactics are concerned.

I mean we all have solid strats, and if we were playing this on a board it would be so much more fluid and real time, but on this forum its all speculation!

I hereby dub 1 v 1 v 1 very difficult fights to gauge as far as a victor is concerned!

[Lord Aulianas Darakathos]

Ehhh I would have consider creating a bit more realistic form (or suggesting one) if it wouldn't be a logistical nightmare, not to mention hellish on whomever had to roll the dice.

[BrotherValliant]

i hear that, perhaps a map shaped like a triangle, everyone in one corner and an objective to capture in the center?

That sounds like a blood bath!

[Lord Aulianas Darakathos]

I meant to the battle system itself, such as actually posting turns nd such... but then I realized a few problems:

Who would roll the dice? I'm sure we could get a Custodian or someone to do it, but given the possible number of battles/number of possible custodians...

Time: the battle would take an extremely long time, given that each participant would have to wait until they could get on before they could take their turn, and given certain members who rarely can get on, this would be an issue

Logistical Nightmare: We would have to wait for people to log in and post their turn, and then the custodian would have to roll dice to see who hit what, and then who wounded what, and then armor save, and then determine other saves, and morale, and fall back, and artillery...

It would be horrid to work out. Not to mention the instances of 'oh you can't do that' and the proceeding rerolls, removes, re action, etc etc.

[BrotherValliant]

my nose just started bleeding...

[Brother Warchild]

All you have to do is copy the map and use icons or numbers to indicate your Units. Check out how Bremmer did his tactics against i think Icarus A. It helps alot, Kinda like they do in WD Battle reports.

[Brother Warchild]

!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!VOTE!!!!!!!!!!!!!! !!!!!!!!!!!!!

Your fellow members would appreciate it.

[Jericho199]

Looks like it's going to be Dusk who's fighting the war on two fronts. While Dusk and Valiiant will be a good fight and tough to call, Lord's Necrons will arrive just in time to batter his remaining forces and put Valliant ahead on victory points. Valliant has the most flexible force overall and, once the necrons arrive, can be more selective of his targets.

Victory for Valliant

[Brother Warchild]

-----------------VOTE---------------------------

Your fellow Terrans would appreciate it!

[TheKiller333]

So they've finally shut up? I've been watching this for a long time awaiting quiet.

Now, as soon as I saw 2 monoliths, I wanted to type Lord Aulianas Darakathos, however, after reading all these tactics, i'm afraid my vote is with Valiant

[Jericho199]

I agree. Not deepstriking EITHER monolith is a mistake.

[lynxrpken]

wow chaos has a good shot at this if he actually does what he says he is going to. but with all the jump packs Brother Valliant is VERY moble and has the weapons to pull it off

"To avoid mass casualties ill switch my strategy to a move forward/harass/fall back strategy to do what i can and widdle any enemies close to my forces.

Its going to be difficult non-the-less because im the middle man BUT the foot-sloggers are gonna have to work that much harder to catch me in ANY sort of trap or cross fire!"


these are good points I vote BrotherValliant

[Brother Warchild]

With a 5-0-0 Brother Valliant WINS. Thanks to all that Voted, i really wish more people woulda tryed there hand at Voting. Also i wanna Thanks all Combatants for being willing to try a 3way Battle its not easy and you all did great Thanks!!!!!!!!!!!!
