<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "Bay Area Open 2012 Practice Match"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/17.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net Bay Area Open 2012 Practice Match BAO for a while now since the missions are slightly unconventional. I got a game in a while back when I still planned on using my Bjorn led SW list. There is a video and full report here with lists and break down of the match. It features SW v. Grey Knights. The missions, in case you don't know, use all 3 victory conditions from the rule book with alternating deployments. Very interesting but from my experience so far also very prone to draws if you aren't careful.

I hope you enjoy!

Gimme a bit of time, and we'll look into another BAO mission.

KP seem to be forgotten til the last turn in most games. Prolly just a result of seeing objectives on the board, though. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/425975/3843256.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/425975/3843256.page GMT Bay Area Open 2012 Practice Match

Italiaplayer any advice you may have would be most welcome!

I think Dok may be on to something, i tend to focus on only seize ground and play to protect my KPs even though my GK lists usually win kp missions easily... some food for thought there thanks dok. We should get another practice in again soon.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/425975/3843416.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/425975/3843416.page GMT Bay Area Open 2012 Practice Match http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/425975/3843472.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/425975/3843472.page GMT Bay Area Open 2012 Practice Match

You really just have to work to your armies strengthens, and focus on 2 of the objectives but still remember to use the 3rd mission. Placement of both types of objectives is very important. You have to set the game how you want it to be played out with your army/ play style.

With my Daemons I usually place my capture and control objective further away from the rest of objectives in a corner so I can just drop a camper unit there far away from everything. I then continue to place my seize ground objectives where I want the majority of the battle to take place. My list is very resilient and has a small KP count. So working to my strengthens I naturally go for Kps and camping seize ground objectives with my other troop units. My camper unit on my capture and control objective denies his. By controlling all 3 mission types early, I force my opponent to show me his next move. which I can then counter by dropping my 2nd wave ( or 1st wave if the dice gods hate me) where it needs to be. Just pick a list that works best for you with these missions. Easier said then done, but try it out haha. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/425975/3843784.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/425975/3843784.page GMT
