Firefight 2nd Edition Battle Report: Veer-Myn vs Asterians

[@Shudokansam]

Love seeing 2e battle reports!

[@WeightofFire]

Thanks expect more :)

[@nedkelly1093]

fantastic, the amount of ppl in my area who are switching to mantic is slowly increasing and 2nd ed it helping a lot, it's been a hard slog converting ppl from the "other" guys

[@haleccles6878]

Glad to see you getting some games in 🙌 - Hal

[@groltag7483]

Makes me want a Veer-myn army

[@WeightofFire]

Do it you know it make sense

[@michaciemniewski9791]

Amazing army. Great models. One of my favorite models in years.

[@ceowulf69]

Never seen Hal roll this hot!

[@WeightofFire]

You probably won’t see this again! My own blue dice are pretty good to me thou :) - Hal

[@ceowulf69]

:D

lost base in the woods: very Halo!

[@Pezzapoo]

Didn't know you wrote Firefight Andy? very cool. Will pick it up at Expo and have a play. Bonus points for the Dark Ops Iceheim and radar dish terrain ) always good to see

[@WeightofFire]

thanks mate. yep some lovely kit you make :)

[@Pezzapoo]

@@WeightofFire thx, made lol, Sarissa owns it now ;)

[@HobbyDad251]

Great looking armies and very nice board!

[@WeightofFire]

Thanks mate though I am now up scaling my rats as they are too dull

Unfortunately, there is no one in Germany, here in Hamburg, who plays Firefight 2nd Edition. This is probably also because there are no rules in German. We, a group of 3 to 5 members want to start, although our English skills are not so good. I would like to see more game reports, unfortunately I can't always keep up with your fast speech. Thanks for this game report.

21:00 Could Tangle use pinning shot vs Kaleeshi AND AP attack vs Spectra and then move away?

[@WeightofFire]

yes my mistake in never having used the Tangle but it could use both weapons available

[@michaciemniewski9791]

@@WeightofFire Tangle is interesting. Best Command Point supplier, can work with smoke screen=themed list but very expensive. That is why using its potential to the maximum is key.

[@chrischristopherson6537]

Cool report :) Just learning FF 2nd ed - how did the Kalyshi get out of the flier after 1. the flier sprinted and 2. the vehicle doesn't have anti-grav? Have I missed something special (I've only got the free rules atm)

[@haleccles6878]

Asterian Chira is anti-grav but not flying. But you can always move out of a transport whether it sprints or not - charges are hindered out of transports however.

[@chrischristopherson6537]

@@haleccles6878 ah right! I thought they were flying! That changes lots of things!

[@isaachudson9108]

Nice report. In hindsight Andy maybe your big monster (forget the name) would have been better out the front to soak damage? You could have used your tunnel runners to take out the weapons team.

[@WeightofFire]

yep, i think i could have run a lot more subterranean deployment too to get in his grill more

[@isaachudson9108]

@@WeightofFire I see veer-myn also have a smoke launcher. I imagine that's pretty crucial to make it into combat alive.

[@ernestorodriguez3637]

Do a forge fathers vs enforcers battle report next!

[@WeightofFire]

I think Andy has plenty of both painted! My forge fathers won’t be ready for another month or so as I’m just finishing up my last Asterian units (Chroma, Sky Razors and more Kalyshi) - Hal

[@drummerdanny1269]

I think what you meant to say was Forgefathers vs Marauders 😂.

[@ernestorodriguez3637]

@@drummerdanny1269 no I mean forge fathers vs enforcers! Also I wonder how strong and fast an enforcer is compared to a normal human. I also wonder how they match up with ultra marines!

[@ernestorodriguez3637]

@@drummerdanny1269 there aren’t enough warpath firefight battle reports on KZbin!

[@drummerdanny1269]

@@ernestorodriguez3637 That's an interesting match. An enforcer vs a space marine. Also, Warpath orcs vs 40k orcs. I would put money on the Warpath orcs simply because they are smarter.

[@michaciemniewski9791]

I believe cover being -1 does not change the effectiveness of shooting. -2 would be a factor. The only cover I believe works is blocked LOS. Smoke is the answer! -12% chance to hit means one less hit fer 10 shots on average... KoW has -17% on much higher dice count. It matters on weak shooters (which are not very effective). -1 can take 1/3 of unit's hits (6s to 7s) but good shooters does not care.
