In Dawn of War the Landraider was the shootiest of Space Marine units so there's no way I'd want to engage it with light infantry in that game, looks like I would envision it.<br /><br />I like that so many of the special rules are on the unit cards. Reminds me of Heroscape and to a lesser extent 4e D&D power cards. Gives you option paralysis while you weigh which is the tactically superior option but I prefer having all the options right there in front of me to pick from rather than in a book somewhere where they might be forgotten to allow the game to go faster but simpler and less memorably. ^_^Jeremyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04819107856276140817noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4999500110309022298.post-72644397761628463472017-06-08T16:46:30.616-05:002017-06-08T16:46:30.616-05:00I don't think it was the wolves - I think it w...I don't think it was the wolves - I think it was mostly me!I tend to go wraith heavy and this was kind of a lighter list for me. Plus learning how everything works. That land raider crusader is a monster now so it's tough on lighter troops.

Are the Space Wolves really that much better, or was it poor luck, or poor unit choices?<br /><br />I am pleased to see that the game runs faster than before. I haven't played since second edition but I've kept up with the rules and they have seemed to be fiddly; the new style of sticking all the relevant rules on the unit datasheets seems much more sensible. It reminds me of the one-off experiment with the Tyranid list in <i>White Dwarf</i> #145 back in the day.thekelvingreenhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01928260185408072124noreply@blogger.com
