I see. In this case, I'm going to go for the pro-SR-negate-immobilized/wrecked-going-flat-out intepretation because 1) they make a good case and 2) that's how I think the RAI is. I don't think there's much more I can add that haven't already been said. I do agree that getting wrecked is a result of being immobilised. I don't think the matter of timing (i.e. immediately) is as important as the fact that there is a cause-and-effect relationship. Negate the cause, and the is no need for the effect.

I would agree. This does not sound any different for what you would do for the Tau Decoy Launchers.

Every little change can make a difference. If orks had gone first, they would have had 2 turns to move. They definitely would have been much closer to my objective had that been the case. Of course, if they had gone first, I would probably have had to adjust my tactics somewhat to compensate for it.

I was highly dissapointed with the performance of the burnas. But they really lose a lot of punch after their ride is busted. the ork player should have deployed his 20 man squad of boys to take the scarab charge rather than all his armor.

Well played game Jy2, it just seemed like getting bogged down so effectively could have been prevented.(Magic dice!)

I think his burnas did alright. They killed off my scarabs, helped to take down the spyders and then helped to wipe out the destroyers and break my immortals in combat. That's a lot more than what the meganobs did.

He probably wasn't aware of what scarabs could really do. It's one thing to read/hear about a unit, but it's something else when you actually play against it, especially for the very first time. My scarabs caught him by surprise, but I'm sure next time, my opponent will be ready for them.

I bet that was fun to play!!! I Bet when your HQ kept getting up he felt like Sarah Connor... THIS THING KEEPS COMING BACK.....

Hmmmm.....Sarah Connor = Ghazghkull? That's just too funny.

I got lucky with resurrections. There's only 1/3 chance of coming back. To come back 3 times in a row is a 1/27 chance.

Janthkin wrote:Very interesting outcome; well-played, Jim! Battlewagon Orks are extremely difficult for foot lists to handle; the speed of the Scarabs & Wraiths (and the advantage of Dawn of War deployment) let you dictate the location of the battle, and that is essential in Capture & Control.

And the fact that he set it up so that I could assault his trukks helped me out a bit.

Excellent job jy2 with the Scarabs, Anrakyr, and Command Barge. You were quite lucky with the lone Nob failing a moral test at the bottom of 7.

Thanks for sharing!

Quite possibly. But I can also see him using those meganobs as a decoy to draw fire, thus allowing the rest of his army to advance unmolested. Actually, I was lucky his meganobs got pinned. It allowed me to free up my wraiths to play aggressively.

Honestly, I was expecting to wipe out that squad out in the open without cover, but because of wound allocation, I couldn't kill him off.

Ah, Necrons won. I knew they could do it, Good job jy2! And Nice Bat. rep.

Thanks. Though they do have the tools, veteran savvy does help to make up for some of the necron shortcomings, especially in an uphill battle.
