1. If you maxed on troops, your killing power and range suck.
2. Every single model, be it vehicle, heavy suppport, fast, whatever, can contest. 1 measly tomb spider can contest.
3. If you split your army amongst 2-3 objectives and every single troop of mine is holding 1, I will win every game, hands down. Why? Because my elites, fast and heavy's are much better than basic troops.

You need to kill every single last troop to make the troop choice not score. However, if I have a unit contesting, like terminators, you need to kill every last one of my models in that unit to stop it from contesting

As for tournaments, there are no minor wins or major wins. Extra points are decided by secondary objectives, ala hard boyz. You know ahead of time what those are. Adjust your strategies accordingly.

WC_Brian, reread my example about dealing with plague marines. There are multiple ways to contest something. There is only one way to score.

Sweeping generalizations do not belong on this forum.
