Creed, Kell and some HWS would fit in nicely and give you a lot more firepower on the ground.Chumbalayahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15543857960730597490noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-90590218036861707952010-04-23T12:35:51.208+10:002010-04-23T12:35:51.208+10:00Most of the time you don't need to move past y...Most of the time you don't need to move past your bubble-wrap, you just shoot the enemy off the board. If you do you have your Vens to start taking and holding midfield whilst you open up path ways for your tanks to move through. Also remember you don't always need the bubble-wrap. Against some armies it's plain useless or not as needed so you can only put one squad down as bubble-wrap and combine the other 2 for firesupport.<br /><br />PBS are really anti-infantry. It's another large blast that wounds most infantry on a 2+. It has a bit of duality against tanks with it's medium strength but it's not reliable as you pointed out.<br /><br />Devildogs allow you not to have to move into midfield against Raiders all the time and are another blast. This is all about blast. Blasts blasts blasts. Again if you need to move into midfield these guys can lead the Chimeras with their fast ability.<br /><br />It again comes down to your ability to pop tanks and then just smoother what's inside. You've got a 2+ save? That's nice here's a bunch of blasts. The vendettas and ACs then keep the majority of your opponent's armor suppressed and are going to get a tank pop or two in there.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07693773850422698445noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-600589111118264680.post-44620290380486552582010-04-22T21:37:16.771+10:002010-04-22T21:37:16.771+10:00Wow, thanks.

I always wanted an excuse to build up a few Medusas, and this can't hurt.<br /><br />I've tried out bubble wrapping a few times since I've read about it on here, but I found that I couldn't get past my own trenches. The missions were objective based and it simply took too long to drive my Chimeras around the wrap and I lost out on the midfield objectives. I was definitely killy enough - maybe one fast unit made it past the 24" line. It'd probably be better if my Vendetta wasn't destroyed the week before - a light fixture fell from the roof at my FLGS and landed a direct hit on the plane. <br /><br />I'm kind of surprised you like PBS so much - accounting for Psychic tests and scattering 1 inch or less, they have barely better than a 1/3 chance of landing a direct hit on a vehicle, and a single S7 hit is not all that scary. Leadership bombs are definitely a lot nicer and you're not going to miss a chance with 3 squads so that's a plus.<br /><br />How will the Devildogs work? Their range is too short behind the bubble wrap so I assume they push onto the midfield.MasterSlowPokehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10374534974590757158noreply@blogger.com
