Well they'd have to be balanced enough the make the attacker have a chance.

Therein lies the dilema. Termies would be ok, not sure that Assault Marines, Raptors, ect. would be sufficent. Maybe we should limit the amount of high strength and low AP weapons for the defender?

i was gonna save this for if i made the custode list but since that is on the back burner
well my notes go as follow
attacker= american air cav
defender= NVA regulars
just a clarification for ease of reading

scenerio : THE VALLEY OF DEATH
Turns: 7
objectives:
attacker: Survive
Defenders: Destory all attackers
in this scenerio the attacker ends up being on defense
the army entering from the LZ is considered the attacker
only HQ and troop choices allowed in this scenerio

deployment zones and reserves:

Attacker:
sttacker "deep strikes" into the designated LZ only
attacker deploys hq and 2 troops choices
reserves arrive as follows for attacker
turns 3 or later only maximum of 2 squads per turn
Special : on turns 2,4,6 attacker may call in arty support
1. choose designated target area
2. place ordanace marker
3. roll scatter,arty die and 2d6 roll for casualties
4. roll aditional scatter die and 1d6 roll for casualties again
5. repeat step 4.
Artillery battery S 9 AP 3

Defenders:
deploy entering from any table edge
sustaind assault(the one where they keep coming back)

(ive got a map for this too ill edit the post later)

[Dragoon King]

Sounds good Rom. How about adding Elites for the attacker?

[Baron von Lexus]

That looks pretty solid Rom

[Warmaster Romulas]

well i based it off of the marine dex when i made it
and i didnt want any one trying to slip a dread in there
or one of the traits that lets you take Devs as elites
that type of thing
i figured if they wanted an elite squad they could upgrade teh command squad

[Dragoon King]

Hmmm. I think we should limit the heavy weapons all around. What do you guys think? This was mainly an infantry battle, correct?

[Warmaster Romulas]

right light infantry
so only the heavy weapons that a squad can carry
like rocket launchers
light machine guns flame throwers
or racial eq.

Yeah, that sounds good to me. What about Droppods? Think we should incorporate them? Or just allow the attackers Troops and HQ to DS?

[Warmaster Romulas]

havent quite figured that one out
on one hand if you drop pod there is extra terrein and guns
but if you want to switch up races
not all races have a drop pod to speak of
so it would have to be some race specific insertion by vehicle/teleport/elevator/tunnel

[munkey joe paints]

Keeping with historical POV I would say allow them DS and maybe a air strafe ( I think rules are in IA with the ork plane in them) this would allow reserves to come on the board and have a certain attack of opportunity like an aiship to drop troops firing a HVY bolter from aircraft.....

EDIT **** hvy bolter OR race equiv with insertion of reserves IE eldar would get the suriken cannon tyrnid would get the equiv (venom cannon?)

Thanks man, I'll cruise that sight and get some info. If I recall correctly, Wolfpack has actually met Mr. Moore.

[Baron von Lexus]

Thats really sweet.

[Rhaalidor]

My old man worked for Col. Moore, though much later.

Hey DK just noticed this on the Hail Mary scenario perhaps you could put the battle we based it off of somewhere so that everyone knows. Just a thought.

What battle? What did I miss?

[Baron von Lexus]

The battle you based that scenario off of, that is unless you just made it up.

Dude, I still don't have a clue. Then again, I've been more scatterbrained than usual lately. If you mean have I ever actually used the Hail Mary on the TT, no, I don't think so. ???

[Baron von Lexus]

Ok lets try this once again... It might be helpful to know what historical battle the hail mary was based upon. Like "the Valley of death is based upon Ia Drang.

desert storm
it was the initial tank push vs the republican guard
