Hi
One of my luckiest moments (not games) was when my sm/ig opponents
marauders screamed across the board to blow the crap out of my squad
of falcons carrying exarchs (this is under the old aircraft rules so
they stayed on the table and flew around like normal units). The three
marauders ended their moves just in front of some scouts I had sitting
there to slow his ig advance. I thought myself lucky when his planes
did not kill my falcons, which managed two saves vs a battlecannon and
two lascannons. But the best part was when my scouts fired at the
planes.
Under the old rules anything firing at aircraft got a -1 to hit to
account for speed. That proved to not matter at all when I rolled four
6's! Then his planes went and got four 1's for their saves!
I'd hate to think about those odds.
