This is just the initial test. I think we should play 10 or so games before
decideing what to do!!!!

Subject: Re: [NetEpic ML] Return of the Slann first test: (long)
Hi!
I was eagerly waiting your posts!
Lets see what you found:
The battle is as good a test as any, so I would not view it as not being a
good test. One must see how they function in as many scenarios as possible.
Tunneler attacks against the slann are very efftive when used properly. I
beleive had you timed their attack after he had moved his knights, you would
have wiped them out. It takes some planning on the slann players part to
avert this, he must have nearby infantry support to off set any close combat
rush.

I beleive it would be dangerous to combine long range and warp jump
capability, since they could calmly stay "out of reach" while laying down
constant fire, this would be too much.

Hmmm, I can see Hellreichs objection on this, but this unit is "unique" one
per army, so perhaps this is appropriate.
Thats what I thought aswell....
>* The Necrons, should NOT have 75% breakpoint.
Agreed. This one is not a surprise.

It depends what kind of support they lend, are they more a tank busting unit
or infantry support? If we give them longer range they will be useful
against tanks, not so usefull against infantry. We could do the following:
give the gravguard the stats suggested, but give the spawn guard the
gravguards old weapons, one tank buster unit one anti-infantry. opinions?
Hmm, maybe they are alright as they are..... they certainly can be
devestating at close range.....

Did you remember the auto-repair? thats a pretty large boon and why it is so
highly priced. If you are telling me in spite of this they were weak, then
we need o explore it more.
It's more like a hunch.... They always seem to go down rather easily.... A
lot of victorypoints for few hits, I took them out with one deathstrike
missile and a volcano cannon shot....
