In both E-Zine issues, (Issue #5 to be released this week) Squats fought
against the Necrons and lost. There was different players in each battle.
Shows that Squats can be defeated, in my time I have played as and against
them and found them to be just as easy to defeat as any race (Never played
as Chaos or Necron so cannot comment about them).

I agree, we definitely need more games against the
Squats, to test them out. But what we can already say,
based on what we've seen so far, is that they are
very strong. The combination of high BP, cheap Praetorians
,very strong and fast CC troops and good artillery
makes them one tough cookie to beat. It's not impossible
to beat them, but it seems to me they already have the
odds in their favor. The fact that not only we have
noticed that, but people from other gaming groups as
well, only encourages my belief that they've been
back to the cheesecupboard for seconds.
***************************************
In our group we give Squat praetorians hit locations like titans, but I pay
extra for it. I pay 800 for a Colossus and 750 for a Cyclops. This is not
cheap. In several games that I have fielded them like this, on 3 occasions
they would have been one-shot killed on turn 1. Anything that can be easily
one-shot killed is not worth 500 points. It was worth an extra 300 points to
have a Colossus and Cyclops take a pounding, get damaged, but hang in there
for 3 or 4 turns.
