Here is Turn one The Tank grenadiers and the 3rd Great CO. were forced by yarric ah uh Ragnar of course to triple charge and overran the first Squat defense line Marines storming the 1st Squat line brave berserkers at the edge of woods I placed them on the back side of the woods so they got additional cover while victious CC marines would be nice targets for my 2nd defense line Vindicators on the move one of the best Imperial tanks IMO the "ignore cover" abillity is so fantastic for blowing out well dug in targets why the hell somebody changed the CAF +2 to zero ZAP123 ? one of my favorite weapon configs. gatling C., turbo laser, weapon head, heavy point defensive and a fire control center Now you can see what happend to the pretoreans. My opponent landed with 2 landing ships, disembarking a great CO.& a Knight houshold, each. The knights and grey hunters forced 2 Landtrains,2 Cyclops and my Leviathan into CC I get a bit worried but trust in the weapons and CC value of my pretoreans Squat return fire the defense fire of my pretoreans was hard and caused heavy casualties on the Marine side though one Cyclops rolled extremely bad there were 2 knights and 4 stands left I had 4x+3 (melta C.) and the main weapon 1x+2 left I rolled 4 ones >:( the cyclops got hit on the reactor and took about 10 stands from both sides with him a land train engiene and 3 battle cars followed him the other CC´s suffered me heavy casualties too Do not remember everything but here are the broken units Marines: Great CO. 1&2 = 18 Knight houshold 1&2 = 12 Vindicator Co. 1 = 5 Land speeder det. 2 Total 37 Squats: Goliath mega cannon Co. =6 Thunderer det. = 4 Ironhammer det. = 3 Thunderfire det. = 2 Land Train engiene =4 Total 19

Very Nice board setup but the photos are hard to look at with them being out of focus and low lighting. I think the camera is having a hard time focusing do to the low level of light, If you do another Battle report i would suggest some cheap clip on lights like you get at hardware or thrift stores. I think you will find that would help the photos a lot. looking for word to your next Battle report!

Sorry, finally noticed the question in there. I can't remember, were the Vindicators CAF2 back in the day? They did have CAF2 in V4.1. I didn't make the change.....but I guess I could see a lowish CAF as they would be pretty vulnerable to close assault. It also brings them in line with the Pred and Rhino. Still, I'd be happy enough to see them with CAF2.
