Comments for the algorithm! Also thanks heaps for making this series, it’s very helpful at providing insight and explaining concepts clearly. Great job to both of you, and thank you 😁

My alpha strike used to be a full squad of three hell forged rapier laser destroyers, but that's been nurfed down to just one unit while other the imperium can still feild three as a squad. Now I use two five man havoc squads with four missile launchers since that flakk command tactic is real tasty. For knights I still use a defilers battle cannon to force the knight to use it special save, then hit it from another side with a decimators conversion beamer. The Knight for a -2 or -3 AP for strength 7 or 8 D3 shots at 3 or 4 blast damage. Though to achieve this I'll try to tie the knight up with a full squad of chaos cultists for as long as possible in meele, while getting my firepower into postion. So long as I can keep the firepower alive long enough to do so, heh.

Ref Dreadclaw; after doing some research, I believe you can't disembark the same turn it comes in like the SM's Drop Pod: Dreadclaw: Drop Pod Assault: During deployment, you must set up this unit high in the skies instead of setting it up on the battlefield, but neither it, nor any units embarked within it, are counted towards any limits that the mission you are playing places on the maximum number of Reinforcement units you can have in your army. In the Reinforcements step of your first, second or third Movement phase, regardless of any mission rules, you can set up this unit anywhere on the battlefield that is more than 9" away from any enemy models. Drop Pod: Drop Pod Assault: This transport must start the battle set up high in the skies (see Death From Above) but neither it, nor any units embarked within it, are counted towards any limits that the mission you are playing places on the maximum number of Reinforcement units you can have in your army. This transport can be set up in the Reinforcements step of your first, second or third Movement phase, regardless of any mission rules. Any units embarked within this transport must immediately disembark after it has been set up on the battlefield, and they must be set up more than 9" away from any enemy models. After this transport has been set up on the battlefield, no units can embark within it. In 9th Edition Transport rules, can't disembark a vehicles that has moved, unless it specifically gives exemption in the unit's rules. So the Chaos Boys will need to sit tight a turn, before jumping out.

What would be a good example of alpha strike for orks?
