Why would the player be hoping to fail the PH Roll? If there’s a spot on your board edge that’s good, you can just pick it as the landing point in the first place.
I'm going to report this post. Too much sense in it. We are so used to drop them in the middle of the table because od dispersion that it was the last thing in our mind...
yup, you are right, I didn t think hard enough about it. I looked at the netrods again and realised that they dont provide two orders anymore. With a cost of 4 points, they are not unbalanced, I think. so just let them linger in the Aleph DZ. Why do they even still have the combat jump rule?
Interestingly enough, it is possible to start in cover, if the cover is due to elevation. You can combat jump onto building's roofs.
Do you wanna really lose your Imetron? Why should you not deploy them BEHIND that building, completely out of LoF from the enemy?
Sometimes it's possible to do both, such as landing on the first storey of a stacked Kaldstrøm building that's oriented the right way.
Because the building top is safer? There are some tables with really high scenery (like a frigging crane that places said model at eye level with the players...). Or because you want to bait the enemy into wasting orders pursuing that 4pts imetron... Sure, it's a shame to lose one, but we used to carry two because one would always fall wrong in N3, so... XD
This was not a "good idea" statement more than a "interestingly legal to get cover" statement. The amount of hiding in corners and other hard to reach places will be what I do tactically.
