well, that's frequently the case with people who do well in tournaments

But details as to how and why these victories occured would be useful

Yep, I've got a couple of games in with some of the new changes, specifically SR2 and fixed size/points monolith formations (3xMon 250, Mon+2xOb 200).

The fixed monolith changes have made a huge difference to the balance of the list; it's now much, much harder for me to dictate the game since my average number of activations has dropped from around 14 to around 10 in 3000 points. As a result the games I've played have been much tighter and more exciting. I've won one and lost one of them, and they've been a lot of fun.

The fixed SR has meant it was viable for me to use an abbatoir in one of the games, and not overpowering to have a SC in the other.

I've not used a c'tan or armoured phalanx, so can't comment on those changes.

From the games I've played I definately recommend that the monolith formation changes are added to your list of suggested changes.

that's good to hear.... but unfortunately the monolith formations were not one of the approved changes.

Which is why I suggested they were added.

sorry, must of skipped over that post. glad those monolith changes seem to work.

had another game this weekend against IG and won. i used all the changes. i think i've already posted something similar to this but anyway. the deciever no real change from before. the obelisks i never really used more then one formation so again no real change there. i was using the new teleport rules all along because i'm retarded and never read the rules correctly. the variable SR now at a 2 meant that we split on the strategy roles instead of me winning the majority, not that big of difference.
i know it hasn't been that many games (for me at least) since these changes but i think the monolith changes would be great. every time i play i have to field an army that is more "friendly" (less activations etc). i think next time i'll follow zombocom's lead and use them anyway.
