Ooh, that's actually pretty cool if minelayers can be used to deter forward-deployed troops from starting in suppression.
Fair enough. But now that ijw has confirmed, my vagueness no longer matters :-) I agree with you both that it could be written more clearly.
That's been my experience. My last few games had exactly one troop starting in the DZ, and it was the leftover unit I used to fill the last slot...
@ijw has ruled in another thread that the EVO can ARO to put up controlled jump when anyone acts in its hacking zone, the same way White Noise...
That was @ijw 's ruling in one of the threads on camo and hacking with uncertain repeater zones. So I think this has been confirmed correct. The...
Hassassin Bahram: 5 stars HB has a funny command structure. We have no good Lts - even the classic Barid Hacker Lt. is no longer interesting...
I hope you're right, but I don't see that in the rules. The Retreat! rule itself doesn't include EoR. The rules for a Standard Game _do_ include...
Ah, fair enough then. Sounds like you and I are on the same side of the EoR debate. Anyway, my point in reply to @Mahtamori was that regardless...
Right, in missions with EoR. In the missions with retreat but no EoR, you just kill as much as you can with no qualifications. If you get them...
Normally, Lt. orders can't be converted to regular orders. But Saladin's Strategos converts the Lt. order to a regular, which is very nice. I'm...
It accomplishes that goal in missions with EoR (Ends on Retreat). (The debate about whether that's a good goal, and whether EoR is a good way to...
I think maybe the problem is that I don't actually want to move a lot of models into the midfield. Maybe if I was playing IA or MO, I would use...
I particularly like defensive cores, which would have no benefit at all without bonuses, so that one's a no. The new HB toolbox fireteam is...
Well, that's why we have a rules forum, and @ijw to answer our questions. If he says how to do the impetuous move in a way that doesn't permit...
Hmm, yeah maybe that's the best option. A Ghulam Lt is plausible and ignorable. Probably better than the Govad BSG which my opponent would...
Player with first turn can now spend a command token to reserve an extra model. My HB lists so far haven't been command-token hungry, so I've...
Couldn't hide him as a Mutt or Daylami screen, because he was in a 10-unit combat group. Could have hid him as a single Mutt, which is worth...
If I'm reading it right, you effectively don't have to move your full MOV value. If I only want to move 2", I just zigzag at a shallow angle for...
It seems like the N4 hacking rules favour very frequent "just in case" hacking declarations. That might be fine, once we get used to it. Every...
Just to try to fill in the blanks, I think the hacker gets an ARO because of the third bullet in the left column of page 20. It says that an ARO...
