We have an issue with blast markers and war engines. With certain war engines just a few blast markers (1-2) are enough, to completely negate the firepower of the war engine. And some war engines have long ranged weapons and short ranged weapons(ex. shadowsword). If only the long ranged weapon is in range, then that is the firepower of the engine and 1 blast marker is enough to negate the firepower. If units move closer, then the short ranged weapons are in range and suddenly you need 3 blast markers to negate the fire power. How do your groups handle these situations ? |

From the WE rules Quote: It requires a number of Blast markers equal to a war engine’s starting damage capacity to suppress or break a war engine. So single war engines never get suppressed, and in formations of war engines you suppress one entire war engine once the formation has as many blast markers as the starting DC of one of the war engines. You never suppress individual weapons, only units. |

A common house rule back in old mailing list days was to require 4 blast markers to take out a super-heavy weapon. It almost makes sense that units are more affected when firing at long ranges since they will be hunkering down. I have a couple Shadowswords in my army so I feel your pain. |

No, i certainly will not ignore them. We play a mix of the rules of E:A and Epic 40.000 anyway, so your comment ist welcome. It is after all a solution. |
