But basically it means I can play Epic online with people all around the world - when I can't get/be bothered/too busy to play with my ... |

| Agreed. Very helpful opinions! I came fourth out of a a dozen in this weekend's tournament defeating drop-pod/orbital Marines, defeated Blood Angels in a prior warm-up game, nailed the Knights again (same player as the above report but this time by some 500 instead of 75) but still lost to the same ... |

| Updating my thread I played last monday - and won at kill points vs Imperial Knights after four EXCRUTIATINGLY close turns. Long story short DS took out his pair of Knights with barrage weapons on first activation, then he started shooting my LR BTS with his three activations, my Thunderbolts took d... |

| Remided me of watching "Kill the Irishman" last night and there was this joke (adapted to Epic) that went "what do you do if an ork throws a grenade at you? Pull out the pin and throw it back" |

| There's a designer notes section? On the website rulebook as well? Oh and thanks for the remarks, helping me get into the groove. I like E:A in principle, as well as being played by a lot of folk in Victoria. Just want it to work for ME, if you get my drift. Have a good game, no matter who wins, and... |

Shhh...don't say that too loudly!
It's all completely original. Everything. 110%
Empire halberdiers are not lansknechts.
Imperial Guard are clearly not Soviets.
But the "abstraction" rationale I can see.
And more Sentinels on the way, I can see how they'd be handy indeed.

| @ Ginger Don't think the issue is the rules, it's merely my understanding of them. Had a 22 Leman Russ Cpy get clipped on monday. Lost it and I ended up with two tanks. Here's me thinking you've never ridden in a tank - I have - and that's impossible. Abstractionis maxima. IM-POSSI-BLE. Still.......... |

@Legion
Please note I only commented on THAT part of the comment.
I got the joke. Then added a little Eddie Izzard in there and do appreciate your comment.
All in jest to me

| I tried that without knowing RichardL NOR my opponent. It kind of blew up in my face. I even messed up the list (one of each, not three of each allowed) and ended up with a broken BTS. Hence my gratitude for you advice, guys! Epic Guard are a new army to me and I'm way out of my depth on this one bu... |

Can I butt in?
Cybershadow should totally get a copy!
Other than that sorry, there's nothing TC can do considering our breaches of today's illegal application of CPL
But if CS asks, CS should get. |

| The Reg HQ option seems the safest especially given the 2+ vs 1+ Initiative of Guard vs Marines and my need to retain with the Warhounds to back up the infantry's engage. Tanks pick off softer targets to deny activations (it is my BTS after all...) so no more running up the center of the battlefield... |
