<![CDATA[Latest posts for the thread "unit limits"]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/list/16.page JForum - http://www.jforum.net unit limits For example: In the cad now the following would be impossible, but would be possible in the proposed change:
2 terminator squads & 2 sternguard.

However the following would be illegal:
4 terminator squads

Putting a cap of 2 on the units themselves and not the category discourages spamming and allows use of units that you would not usually see use because they're competing for spots in the cad.

Note dedicated transports do not have this unit limit.

What do you guys think?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610376.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610376.page GMT unit limits http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610386.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610386.page GMT unit limits http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610498.page GMT unit limits
So using a hypothetical matchup of eldar VS 'nids, eldar can avoid having any bad units while the 'nid player is prevented from using more than one flyrant (one of the few good units they have access to and often depend on to be relatively competitive).

That said, I still really like highlander. It encourages you to have a greater mix of units in play, and I often find that this leads to relatively balanced games. It just also makes it harder to play to theme for some armies or to run a horde. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610577.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610577.page GMT unit limits http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610672.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610672.page GMT unit limits 3 or 4 maybe?
Putting a limit of on dedicated transports would also limit things like drop pod spam so yeah this could work.
Question: Do you think the limit should apply to summoned units? I'm thinking no, but want to know what you think.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610712.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610712.page GMT unit limits

So the most broken spammed thing, Wave Serpents, is not affected at all by this?


Ah, thought you were referring to Anomander Rake's post and Highlander in general. Granted, some people play versions of Highlander where transports are unaffected, but making transports 0-1 can be fun too. Granted, it makes it tough for some armies (like dark eldar,) but it also leads to some interesting list building.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610753.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/636711/7610753.page GMT
