This amused me, it really did - the list y'all are trying to design here is a GT list. In case people have forgotten, this means that it's designed to be used in games with a standardised scenario (the GT scenario printed in the E:A rulebook) for games between 2000 and 5000 points and when, generally, you don't know what you are facing when building your army - the last point being especially true in a tournament environment. Now, given the above, TRC's list is as reasonable as anyone's when playing a 2700 point game, and he appears to have been playing games against forces which could have been blind-constructed to take them on. We can see from the fact that TRC's "5 Aces" list appears (to my knowledge) to remain the same from game to game (I'll admit to not having read all the battle reps with it, though) - ths seems to indicate that it is a list he'd be fairly comfortable fielding at a tournament, assuming Tau were allowed to be used. In the artificial environment we're meant to work in in playtesting (no knowledge of either force, beyond an acknowledgement that a certain experimental army might get used, GT scenario, army lists, equal point size, etc) every list can be seen as as valid as each other. Saying that because TRC's opponents fielded lists that weren't optimised to stop him is definately a red herring - we shouldn't be designing for situations where they are tailoring to stop him! So, here's a question for all y'all saying the A-X-10 doesn't have issues, or that those issues can only be limited by points cost or availability tweaks - if you've built a list for a tournament where you know Tau were to be present - in addition to the other published lists - how would that affect your construction? What would you field, in all honesty? How would you say the current threat of the "5 Aces" (or even the "Lone Deuce") would make you tweak your current "standard" tournament force build? ------------------------------------------------------------------------------- A list causing a change to the list design paradigm is all well and good - I'm presiding over one at the moment which seems to be doing something similar (AMTL). However, I'd question that almost forcing people's list design to focus more on AA and fighters isn't a good thing, and that this might be something Jervis would echo. Has anyone asked Jervis if he is happy with an increasing focus on airpower in a land-based game? _________________ The forgotten Champion - AMTL, baby!
