I am just getting back into the hobby, so I am wondering, what could the SM player have done differently?

My own observation is that his army was not well balanced. I think only one rhino and one LR make the armor easy targets. More armor would have split your forces up a little more.

Also, I think the Devastators are too inflexible for what they are. I would think more tacticals with Heavy Weapons would be better since at least they are scoring.

Finally I think drop podding Cato and the Command Squad was a problem. With a killy squad, drop pods dont let them assault on the turn the arrive (am I wrong here?) and if the targets move, then your CC unit is foot slogging out in the open. A sternguard unit would be better in a pod since they are shooty.

I also think taking two HQs was expensive on his part and hurt him in the long run by limiting the number of bodies he could have had.

Anyways great report and I have a new found respect for the forces of Chaos. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/558838/6175833.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/558838/6175833.page GMT SM list seemed more like it was sprinkled with a little of everything vs a daemon list that was very competitive. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/558838/6178339.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/558838/6178339.page GMT http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/558838/6178867.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/558838/6178867.page GMT
As how the Space Marines player could have played differently, he deployed his Tactical squads in bad positions. The inside the fort couldnt shoot from that position. I would have saved Calgars squad to go after plaguebearers. Cato in the pod was a bad unit. Overall I took advantage of his lists weaknesses and it played out the way i thought it would.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/558838/6182490.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/558838/6182490.page GMT
