2. The 50cm trech isn't that long. I need almost all of it and bunkers to include one Infantry Company. In this sense it's again worse situation than Siegemasters thrench. It's more crowded. This is another reason why either -25 points or +25cm trench should be done.
I maintain that the trenches are priced fine for the Death Korps; It's the Siegemasters trenches & minefields that are too cheap.
3. Machariuses have a long projection of firepower. They don't have the staying ability though. My deployment removed a large section of deployment zone from asaura. Merely by being able to double and fire quite effectively there. None of the formations would have been able to lose one or two transports before acting. However they are weak. 6 units isn't that much and being WE doesn't help as 3 damage will break them. More testing is required to say if the cost is correct. I'm not sure if the Vulcan version is really usable in this context as main reason for these is really long range firepower. Only reason to take Vulcan would be to attach it to Gorgons, but that can't be done so neither of us saw the use it much.
