It was not the table quarters condition, but the fact that vehicles not contribute to the VP total for the quarter. Fist of Blades went the opposite direction (vehicle friendly) and let even flyer/hover hybrids count as long as they were in hover on the last turn. Mech heavy lists were much more competitive.<br /><br />For my 2 cents I think Mike went overboard and vehicles should still count for quarter VPsJeffhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04390313693496232582noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-36029821457494879562012-09-10T11:31:22.135-04:002012-09-10T11:31:22.135-04:00I was 12th and my army was Necrons w/ Ork allies.I was 12th and my army was Necrons w/ Ork allies.Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-31180248767822698652012-09-09T00:19:16.986-04:002012-09-09T00:19:16.986-04:00I don't think this tournament says anything ab...I don't think this tournament says anything about mech being nerfed. The Nova decided to make table quarters a condition which is what invalidated vehicle heavy armies. This is a tournament nerf more so than a 6th edition nerf.

Typical nickel and dime BS. Still, at least there was food available in the hall. That's way better than having to (literally) run 3 blocks between games.<br /><br />After all the whining about how mech wasn't nerfed, it's obvious now that it has been. Not so much by the new damage system as by the simple fact that those 300-600 points of vehicles aren't scoring. If I'm mech, and you're all-foot, I have to kill more of you or you'll simply out-point me in a quarter.<br /><br />Looking at the top 2 lists, it seems like they could be dropped to 1500-1750 points easily without losing much of anything. Since they're taking 5+ of the exact same foot units. What do you think?SandWyrmhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02265244938930651317noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4519319818452068646.post-76729240112823205602012-09-06T22:37:28.690-04:002012-09-06T22:37:28.690-04:00I couldn't agree more with your assessment, Aa...I couldn't agree more with your assessment, Aaron. If the game is running quarters, mass foot will probably run rampant... especially since Tony did so well. I suspect that IG could really hurt these lists... though demons would beat IG up. So, yup, back around to your analysis and conclusion. <br /><br />But what do you think about non-quarters games? I'm compelled to think that IG with either GK or SW will prove top dog. Either that or SW allied with IG. Why? 3 Vendettas for air control, chimeras with flamers for hordes, Njal or Rune Priests for Psychic defense, and possibly Aegis defense line with comm station (to control reserves and give things like long fangs great field of vision).<br /><br />I'm leaning heavily towards "My Dakka will simply overwhelm you." But again, demons are the real threat to this with their in your face approach. But still, if enough fire power can be dished out, which IG can do, they'll be crippled enough to handle.<br /><br />Of course, there's must play testing to be done.<br /><br />Either way, no more bugs for me :-( <br /><br />Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07772678032258690027noreply@blogger.com
