I'm sure Kirby would love the hits too! <br /><br />With regards to the pinned debate... I'd have to say I think RAI is pinned, but have to agree, by RAW it is not. I play it as pinned, but that's me. @grav...it should be worse, surely!<br /><br />If I've got guys surrounding your transport and just wrecked it... good luck with me not cutting you up as you try to get out. If I've got one guy at the front of the vehicle and just boshed it, it'll blow-up and we'll all be pretty confused before anything else kicks off. Simple really.

Sure, the unit is pinned for next turn, but its better than being dead, and if it is late game, even while pinned they can contest an objective.Matt Varnishhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13581316485323711294noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-26793702006583086232010-06-21T09:28:28.168+10:002010-06-21T09:28:28.168+10:00Even if I had to suffer for this knowledge, it was...Even if I had to suffer for this knowledge, it was well worth it.<br /><br />Good stuff Brolo {^}Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-952800339418565232010-06-21T09:21:14.072+10:002010-06-21T09:21:14.072+10:00Don't ruin the surprise Kirby!Don't ruin the surprise Kirby!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-32981926054906614552010-06-21T09:14:59.578+10:002010-06-21T09:14:59.578+10:00I heavily encouraged...

Usage of tank shocks (or just tank hulls) and spreading out your unit (or self-blocking) can change the face of a combat and allows you to dictate how many models engage, etc.<br /><br />Maybe do that for your next article :P?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693773850422698445noreply@blogger.com
