Is this really playable? or is this as OP as I think it is and does the attacker not really stand a chance in a let us say 2500 pts game.
I know the attacker gets benefits too but this seems a bit pro the guy that spends a 1000 $ on scenery.

Just think of someone taking multiple void shield generators (Good luck with those blast markers) with a large complex of defensive scenery multi covered by it.

Would I make it a bit TFG -proof by adding that you can only take 1 of each scenery piece unless it is part of the same complex? Or is that void relay complex already going to ruin the fun in these missions?

I really have not much experience with fortifications so any input is welcome.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9084820.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9084820.page GMT Planetstrike
The defender can take as many VSG as he wants but that won't save him from your assault. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9084830.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9084830.page GMT Planetstrike ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9084874.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9084874.page GMT Planetstrike cc army or an army with no deepstrike then it may still be a nice house rule to introduce. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9084880.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9084880.page GMT Re:Planetstrike RAW and allow the defender to do whatever they want to win they can literally cover the table in impassible terrain and automatically win the game.

Thanks for the feedback, I am now thinking of filling a box with terrain that can be used, so that they have to make due with that. That way we will be able to adjust the powerlevel of the box for everyone in the campaign at the same time without letting it get OP.

Any ideas on how much is enough in a 2500 pts game?]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9086315.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9086315.page GMT Planetstrike
I've played over a dozen planestrike missions in the past couple of years, it has never been an issue. Just make sure the attacker builds their army accordingly. It's times when someone builds a tank (especially skimmer heavy) list that they start having trouble.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9086440.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9086440.page GMT Re:Planetstrike Seeing all these different reaction I am getting curious to get these games in.
I am gonna see what the first few games in my club give, to see the effect on this specific playgroup and only fix if necessary (with or the box fixed terrain or limiting to one unless it is part of a complex) .]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9086733.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/711461/9086733.page GMT
