Verry good, even though I don't play orks. Just a question, is there and =
Eldar or Tyranid one in the works. (Marines might be hard, since you use th=
em as the base comparison. Firepower 100% of marines on overwatch :)
      =
   
  Unit - Battlewagons
  
       - Assault value point for point is 2 v=
s Rhinos 0
       - Firepower value point for point is 1 vs Rhinos 0
      =
   Firepower value point for point is 54% of marines
         on overwatch,=
 96% of Predator tanks and 76% of Leman
         Russ.
       - Movement is=
 25cm vs Rhinos and Predators 30cm
       - Armour is 5+ vs Rhinos 5+
     =
  - They cost 14pts vs Rhinos 7pts
       - They transport the 1 unit vs 2 =
units transported
         by Rhinos.
       
Advice - basically you are pa=
ying 28 points to transport
         two units vs 7 points for marines to t=
ransport
         two units. The advantage of battlewagons is; first,
    =
     that you don't lose the 5cm each time a unit embarks
         or disem=
barks; second, units being transported are
         never killed if the tra=
nsport is destroyed (expect
         in the case of snapfire); and third, b=
attlewagons
         have an assault and fire power value, while the
    =
     Rhino doesn't any. Each battlewagon is equal to
         having 1 add=
itional Ork boy (expect battle wagons
         can't enter buildings). I w=
ould take as many
         battlewagons as are required to transport all t=
he
         Nobz in my army.
         
         
 We always played it that=
 guys being transported would be hit instead of the battlewagon(They are cl=
oser and have a lower armour). Now I wonder if we are doing it correctly, a=
nyone know about this?
