Dan, I meant no personal offence in my description of the way the list works, more than once I have congratulated you for finding a way to make it work where others have failed in the past.
While people ‘aim to win’ games they take part in, not everyone enters with high expectations of winning the tournament. As such the organisers (and to some extent we the players) have a duty to try to keep the ‘fun’ element as far as possible within the competitive aspect of a tournament. The dilemma is determining where a list oversteps the point between being competitive and OTT, on which I am glad we all agree this aspect of the marines list is.
I also agree with the succinct analysis presented, which is essentially the way that any list that exploits the ‘air game’ has to work, irrespective of the list that employs it.
- Changing the stats is theoretically possible, but not realistic
- putting them in the Titan 1/3 has other effects which I consider undesirable
- limiting the thawk numbers could work, but
- limiting the a/c numbers would work better IMO (obviously)
Not least because it is cleaner and removes the temptation to try this out with some ‘improved’ variant (whatever that might be).
‘Nuff said. Will try to keep quiet since the repetition is evidently getting boring and winding people up, which is far from my intention.
