| Also, swapping from inches direct to centimeters would require a scale down of all bases as well to maintain balance. Course, you could just go the Flames of War way and quote every measurement in both inches and cm. |

| More dice rolled to produce a single result leads to a more even distribution of outcomes. In general in Planetfall, Formation A shooting at Formation X will generate a dicepool, roll that and generate a number of successes. These successes are applied to Formation X roughly front to back, with enou... |

| Balance should indeed trump "fluff" and "coherence". Glad we all agree here! |

| It would speed up the specific issue you've highlighted, but wouldn't help in another situation I've encountered before. Consider the following situation: A broken BTS formation takes refuge within a different freindly unbroken formation. Assuming the enemy can get within 15cm of the broken formatio... |

| How about something like allowing the defender to claim intermingling as well; as you said the Warlock just passively watching the warp spiders getting gunned down was faintly ridiculous. |

| That's a good one. That imply you get the ERC to make an official change that effects multiple lists with no testing. And after that I'll get them to change Russes to 3+ save (no RA, 50 pts) and support fire FF range to 20 cm! More seriously it could be called a Nephilim Lascannon (30cm, AT4+/AA5+)... |

And yet this is the same army that has mortars that shoot man portable mortar rounds underground at roughly the s... |

| On the question of the AA light vehicle added by myself, names like SKY TALON et al are standardised names given by military organisations to military units, and the Lost and the Damned are anything but. They're a civilian uprising led by a charasmatic rebel who have used chaos worship to compensate... |

| Had a playtest game last thursday against Kyuss' Eldar, with a view to testing Plague Towers at 15cm move, rather than 20cm. I won't bother posting a batrep, as I spectacularly failed to activate 6 formations in a row turn one (first 8 dicerolls by myself were seven 1s, followed by a 2) and a simila... |

| They do duct tape the Dread on the outside of the flying brick, so I assume they're transported similar to how Grotz are transported on battlewagons. |

| Try 4x Termies with 2x Dreadnoughts and a Chaplain in a Landing craft attacking the LRs. All LRs are in CC with something, and the formation kicks out 7xMW4+, 4x3+ and 6x4+ dice against 10x 6+. Yes it is 850 points attacking 650, but even without prepping or support fire this is likely to be pretty... |

| Instead, the Space Marine player has spent 800 points to get even odds vs. a 650 point formation. And if you lose the assault, well, there you are with a broken 450 point unit and no more SC re-roll. Better luck with the next unit of 4 Terminators, I guess, assuming you retain the initiative and gi... |

Ginger, it's the Heavy AA direct from the siegemasters list, so this is in no way a new thing.
It trades 2 shots@45 for one@60. |
