OP. That is my real point. For those of you who mentioned shooting and Necrons: you are correct. The came is currently shooty centric and that needs to be fixed. Necrons are annoying to fight regardless of how you try to fight them, but that is a problem of codex and the lack of play testing by
GW when they come up with new rules. Decurion is stupid. It should have been re-roll 1s for reanimate, not +1 to it. Yes, I am aware that is the rule for Reclamation Legion. They switch the two special rules. But that's another story.
I agree at times it does seem ridiculous... like when 1 solitaire at init10 sweeps a unit of 10-30models. At other times tho.... that's really all I got to fight back with because I have tactics built around it for certain armies.
That fits the fluff, though. Solitaires are supposed to be able to wipe out entire squads on their own fairly casually.
I can definitely agree that there are times when sweeping advances are a bit silly, though.
