Hi!

HI!
We tried out the rules where we checked for each detachment under the
mantis-template rather than each stand. As it turned out, the
difference was not that great, both my bikedetachments was stopped.
At least they now had a fighting chance, so I think my group wil
stick to this rule.

I would just say you could do it either way, and let players decide how they
resolve it.

The CAF of the Necron Infantry should be reduced one further. My
berserkers ganged up 2 - 1 but didn't have a chance of capturing the
OP. (I had one surving and one still locked up in CC)Next time I play
up against the Slann/Necrons we will try this. Hopefully we can
schedule a refight soon...

If we use the interpretation where you need to gang up all units before
doubling, then I definitely agree the necrons should lose another point of
CAF, if we use the original interpretation then leave as is.

To fight a pure necron army is somehwat different than to fight a
mixed slann army, as the whole army regenerates on 4+. The squats is
mainly a shooty army, so 50% of the casualities you inflict will
regenerate. To ensure some balance you have to have a fighting chance
of inflicting some certian casualities. Its OK that your units break
in the process, but then at least you have done some damage. As the
Necrons don't check for morale, they always stick around to give you
some further beating.

Definitely, from what I can see the Necron army is the "shootiest" army in
epic, mainly since they have a chance of regenerating and thus continue to
shoot. Then again they are few in number and expensive.
