Anyone interested in a 1500 point game on Saturday 1/23?
I'm somewhat new, this would be my fourth game. I know most of the basics but would still request that my opponent be patient with my ignorance of some things at this point.
I can be at Battlegrounds around 5:30PM.
Thanks,
Jeff.
I'll likely be at the store, but as I've been one of your opponents in three of your four games, I'd recommend you look around for some variety. Your marines likely don't want to earn a reputation for regularly beating up on innocent little girls.
A few comments on last night's game. Playing guard, especially against marines, I tend to focus my fire on the single greatest threat. I almost have to. If I spread my shots around hitting a bunch of marine units, none of them will be seriously hurt.
Thus, your assault squad, or whatever squad was furthest forward and most exposed, got persistently picked on.
This is painful for your squad that is the greatest perceived threat. It also means all your other squads will receive very little fire. Note that your terminators weren't shot at to speak of, while your tactical squads were left alone until the assault squad died.
So, at least when you are fighting players like me, when one squad is a definite threat, other squads might be able to take larger risks. While I am focusing in on one thing, it might be time to push forward the next squad.
Again, try not to attack with only one squad at a time. One squad challenging many is painful for the one squad. If fire is concentrated on the one squad, it might be time for other squads to come to that unit's support.
