armored platoon destruckion? help me
« on: March 9, 2002, 08:43:14 PM »
most of my friends collect space marines except for one who collects eldar, i myself do space wolves. my friends and i dont do points battles so whoever has the most money to buy guys with generally wins (its stupid but its the way we play.) I dont have to worry about the eldar collecter because in general in 3 or 4 way battles he is allied or neutral to me. my other friend is another story he started collecting way way way before the rest of us and he outnumbers me like 3 to 1 easily but his main advantage is tanks, lots of tanks he has a whole armored platoon basically. What can i use to at least give me a chance to survive long enough to kill a few of his troops before being wiped out? my funds are very limited compared to his, especially because his friend steals things for him from the local hobby store which in turn raises the prices for me and my eldar collecting friend. what can i get to kill of his armored platoon.
the following is his list of tanks and such.....

- land raider
-land speeder typhoon
-2 dreadnauts (1=furioso)
-lemon russ demolisher
-sentinal
-baal predator w/ hunter killer
-rhino
-razorback

i want to play point battles but my friend wont agree to that because he would lose his huge advantage and he would have to get rid of lots of his armored platoon

Well, if you're short of $$, you can scratch-build something and use VDR.

concurred, this kinda game is a waste of time until you get really good at playing, which of course you will if you keep practicing hard against those odds but i should imagine 5yrs will start showing draws...

okay if you are gonna play like this first thing:
guess range weapons, kill em however you can - nothing is more important
once these are done with you need to knock out the faster units, immobilise the enemy
finally finish up what you can taking care not to expose yourself

next thing:
stealing is bad and wrong, give the store the thiefs name etc. it's the right thing to do.

finally:
don't bother - play against yourself rather than this idiot.
