Has anyone tried a beaucoup-artillery/suppress-the-hell-out-of-your-opponent
army yet? I''m looking at, say, a det of about 4 doomweavers, and a bunch
of falcons and war walkers and thinking that I can stop anyone coming across
the boards after 1 turn. The doomweavers will put 2 BMs on a det, and a
decent long range det should be able to put another 2. By the beginning of
2nd turn movement (when the prep-bombardment happens) the doomweavers add
another 2. Yes, they get to remove some markers in there, but they will
have to roll to move first turn needing a 2+ on average, and 3+ second turn.
Overall that's about a 50% (45.4, if my math is correct) chance of losing a
full turn's movement, not to mention the casualties inflicted.
