Sorry I couldn't attend, we were at my in-law's place.<br /><br />RE: Scoring units: <br />the 40K 5th ed. mechanic was designed to force players to take and use basic troops, not just the killy stuff. I suppose it is analogous to WWII panzer forces seizing a position, which is then consolidated upon by follow-up leg infantry.<br /><br />That being said, other sci-fi rules sets (such as Mantic's new "Warpath") don't make such artificial distinctions between what types of units can control objectives.<br /><br />Also, some tournaments (e.g. Astronomi-con) often have very narrative scenario elements: interrupting a daemonic ritual, capturing a downed pilot, seizing a starport, trying to obtain ammo crates because you're actually <i>low on ammunition</i>...DaveVhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08629682074533048304noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-43004542490362014212011-07-07T11:35:49.037-05:002011-07-07T11:35:49.037-05:00Yep - the 40k rules in all their glory.

While the Punisher Cannons are stupendous, the rest of the lot really struggled with the Land Raider, Assault Squad, and Terminators. <br /><br />Were it not for the obtuse rules in question, we would have lost for sure!Greg Bhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05090722688748673409noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7369363918074860264.post-34018148406535869732011-07-07T11:25:58.412-05:002011-07-07T11:25:58.412-05:00Great batrep and the pics look brilliant!
I can ...Great batrep and the pics look brilliant! <br /><br />I can only imagine the language being uttered on turn 6... You really need to play your own scenarios that are not based on these byzantine conditions that have been designed for tournament play. Objectives can't be held by 'non-Troop' units?
