Subject: GMG Video Battle Report - Operation: Flamestrike Week 2 - Defense of Sagre Orbital Tracking Station
"Paradiso is a planet besieged by the greatest threat the Human Sphere has ever known; The Combined Army. The Sagre Orbital Tracking station lies at the southern tip of Flamia Island. From it, the defense of the planet, its shipping lanes and the disposition of its armies are coordinated. While it will not silence Humanity completely, disrupting it could allow the alien forces to mount surprise attacks on force dispositions across the planet.
Far from home, the forces of Svarlaheima find themselves alone against a host of creatures and races they can barely comprehend, sporting Voodoo-Tech weapons and alien hackers. Seeds quietly land among them without them being aware and the shimmer of therm-optic camouflage is hidden in the greenery around the station.
Wars are won and lost in the little actions no one ever remembers. Will this quiet war see the alien forces again repulsed by Humanity, or will the Mountain troops be swept aside by the vanguard of the EI’s unrelenting armies?"
You all don't understand. I'm not locked in here with you; you're all locked in here with me.
Nice Batrep and also an exciting game, I totally enyojed watching it!
But something from Corvus Belli's FAQ (p. 3):
How do the MODs for Low/Poor Visibility Zones apply to Dodge Rolls? And to Engage? The MODs apply whenever a Skill, Special Skill or piece of Equipment requires LoF and is declared from, into or through a Low or Poor Visibility Zone. Note that if the trooper is within the Visibility Zone this also applies to Dodge Rolls against template weapons from outside LoF.
So:
- Any Dodge declared inside a Low/Poor Visibility Zone suffers the negative MOD, even in Close Combat or if the Dodge didn’t involve LoF.
- Any Dodge which LoF to the enemy trooper passes into/out/through a Low/Poor Visibility Zone suffers the penalty.
The negative MOD will also apply to the Engage Common Skill.
Thus I think most of the Pretas' / Gakis' dodges were fails
