Hi Everyone

Looks good. However, one DDA is way to random for 193 pts. It can rock or fail. Try to protect it from captn slamguinius.

Thanks. Any suggestions for alternate anti tank instead of the DDA? Heavy Destroyers maybe or just charge Nightbringer at the tanks?

Destroyers are the best choice against enemy vehicles. Second best would be heavy destroyers, but a unit of three is wiped out easily. The nightbringer isnt good at killing vehicles. Only 4 attacks with S7 against them.

Thanks again, sure Nightbringer is better against infantry but hitting on 2s with -4 ap and d6 damage should mean any wounds that go through will hurt tanks too.

I could swap the DDA for another unit of destroyers but then i will have to choose which unit to put the strat on each turn.
