| Looking back through previous posts, including on the Kreig list and the Epic UK lists, lots of people previously felt that the Macharius Tanks were over costed hence the drop to 325 points here/there/everywhere. In particular Matt Shadowlord published a spreadsheet highlighting the issues as he see... |

| So I took out the Heavy Mechanised List for a run last night. Battle report up in the Epic Armagedon Folder: Epic 4K: Biel Tan vs Heavy Mechanised Imperial Guard Or direct to Mark's account of the encounter: Biel Tan vs Heavy Mechanised Imperial Guard OK, so this was the worst possible match up for ... |

| Life as a Storm Trooper in the LDF (Minervan) is tough. Almost uniquely, in this battle, one formation survived and spread out to capture objectives. The other two formations were, as usual, eliminated as an effective force. Doubtless some individuals will have survived to form cadres' for future fo... |

| Another grand game. Impressive battle reporting once again. Some distinctly interesting runs of luck for both sides: Eldar some very good critical hit rolls - something wrong with the ammunition storage on the LDF Tanks? Eldar, awful rolling on rallying - army rattled by unexpectedly meeting an armo... |

| Given the rule is for "Line of Fire" I'd rather the simpler (and slightly stronger), If a formation is markerlit (within 30 cm and an unblocked line of fire from a unit with marker-lights) then Guided Missiles from any unit in range (90 cm) can draw a line of fire to the target formation. ... |

| Sounds to me like the Guided Missile rule should be clarified to deal with all these problems: When it counts for Suppression. When it gives crossfire. Any others? If anything (AT/AF/small arms) can take the suppression BMs when firing at aircraft (always got the LOS there) then I'd be fairly genero... |

| It was a good game, thanks Mark. Thought I was too Patient Hunter style and too spread out to be effective once the Eldar redeployed. They all headed to their right flank and centre, . . . That said my first double forward with a Riptide formation left them rather out on a limb. A more aggressive mo... |

| Thanks for the read. Nice to see how others use the Tau, and against Titans too. I assume you had the Supremacy Suits at 250 points each, and 2 Barracuda Squadrons for the 3000 points. To my eye you are running with relatively few markerlight formations, only 4 out of 13. And one of them is committe... |

| - LOTS of toys (I was surprised at all the exotic units that are typically restricted to the 1/3 of points allies/air force section), in this battle there was a Manta, Orca, Tiger Shark, Riptides and 2 Supremacy formations. But the Manta, Orca and Tiger Shark AX-1-0 are all in the 1/3 restricted se... |

| No-one will ever use Alaitoc again. Of course they do though all the time. I don't understand. On the Epic UK site Alaitoc has been used for a TOTAL of 5 games. Whilst Biel Tan has been used 549 times, . . . At the moment the only reason I'd go for the Third Phase List it to use Kroot. And since I'... |

| Foot Fire Warriors plus Pathfinder Upgrade is fine for garrisoning. The sole Devilfish is sometimes a good place to hide an Ethereal as well. I have more frequently taken a Skyray as the upgrade for a garrisoning foot Fire Warrior Cadre to extend the AA bubble further forward, on overwatch, and stil... |

| Something came up though that would be helpful to clarify. Can guided missiles be shot from Overwatch at a formation that is marker-lit when it moves if the formation is not in line of sight of the Overwatching formation Yes, I think it can, and play it that way. Although I could easily imagine roo... |

| Great to hear from you Matt Shadowlord. Razor Shark I notice that the Razor Shark fighter in the above post has: Quad Ion Turret 15cm AP4+/AT5+/AA5+ Twin Burst Cannons 15cm AA6+ But the pdf has only AA6+ on the Quad ion Turret. The AA5+ seems justified (quad turret and all) and would make the aircra... |
