This is incorrect, hovering models do not measure vertical movement at all (same for your Minnows). The Angel wasn't touching the trees, so would get no cover from them at all (in fact, large models cannot ever be in cover anyway), though the trees could have made him (it?) a fleeting target if they obscured at least 50% of the Angel.Īsh explains 'hover' means you don't have to climb terrain but can just measure vertically. In Ash's first activation, his Hunter shoots at your Angel. I'm not sure what you agreed on terrain, but the trees seem to not have been classified as area terrain (otherwise you couldn't shoot through them as Ash does), so they're obstacles. In fact, there seems to be some confusion between 'damage' and 'injury' on Ash's side. Ash gets this wrong later on as he says each point of Fortitude lost causes an ST. When Ash says 'say the Fireflies have MAS4, what would happen if they got 1 damage' you say 'nothing' which is correct from an 'injuries' perspective, but the 1 damage would still cause 1 additional ST to be placed.

So, in your case it would have been 4+ instead (had you not been wild firing, of course) (Same goes later on when Ash uses his PEN3 missile at your AV5 Angel, that should have been 4+ instead of 5+, and basically any VS roll all game where the ATT value is lower, but not half or worse). 5+ is only when your value is half the opponent's or worse. When you fire the Karist Troopers at the Fireflies (first shooting in the game), you explain SKL 4 vs EVS 5 requires a 5+, but it doesn't. The effect of being Pinned on defensive fire checks is not a bonus, it's a penalty. Orders are issued not when the command model is activated, but when the unit you want to order around is activated (and in range). I'm not sure what Ash means with 'destroy tests every turn' when talking about the Foundation objective. On discussing the Bloodbath mission, Ash explains how the 'full objective' points are usually awarded at the end of the game, which can be true, but in the case of Bloodbath, the Meatgrinder objective is scored every turn for both the partial and full completion.ĭeployment STs are not equal to the winning bid minus the losing bid as Ash states, but rather the complete winning bid (so 3 in your case, instead of 1). There are no narrative mission cards as of yet. When you show the cards, what you call narrative mission cards are actually the objective cards. Then, Mature Angels are not Core choices: that's a misprint on the card. When discussing the force set-ups Ash seems to be under the impression selecting 2 core units allows '4 of something else' which isn't entirely correct should be 2 of any other category up to a max of 8 total.

So as for improvements, here's some things I picked up on (and I hope I got all these right :p): First of all major kudos for getting two armies painted up and driving all the way to get this up.
