about to build a tyranid fleet (to add to my IN and DE) when I came across something which surprised me a little, have I understood the synaptic control correct in the following circumstance:

Your Hive Fleet is idling near a planet - then over 90cm away appears an enemy - the whole pack automatically (synaptic) set off in their direction at Full Ahead. Yet when the Hive Fleet get within 90cm their automatic (synaptic) reaction is to turn around and head for the nearest planet again...until they're 90cm away from the enemy and on and on...

that is unless I manage to pass a ld test on all (each individual squad/cruiser) of them during their journey from between the 90cm away to within 15cm

I realise that planets aren't always going to be in the opposite corner from the enemy but this seems a little crazy, a crazy loop of charging forward and then running back to the planet, have I misunderstood the synaptic rules?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412695/3606455.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412695/3606455.page GMT
But the Synaptic control is why I sold my Nid fleet. There were times you quite simply weren't playing the game with them, just following a chart. It was a bit of a let down.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412695/3606618.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412695/3606618.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412695/3607320.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412695/3607320.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412695/3608796.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412695/3608796.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412695/3610660.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412695/3610660.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412695/3615688.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/412695/3615688.page GMT
