Great battle report! Yay, more photos to show the development of the game! I like that. A bit surprised that your opponents haven't taken advantage of your lack of hacking in Dashat yet. On the other hand - good bluffing here!

nice play with the croc flashing, but I'm wondering if I shouldn't in such situation just forward observe on b2? being targeted could be quite deadly too.

[@R0bertShepherd]

Very possibly. The odds of success are certainly higher. :)

I'd be interested to hear more about your thoughts on the cutter in varuna I've found that it doesn't fit well into varuna lists without the lists becoming super feast or famine and too easy to respond to

[@R0bertShepherd]

So this is dojo Ed has been rolling around more than me, but the basic theory that he's proposed and which I like is that a Cutter wants to be; 1. the lieutenant 2. in group two, converting irregular orders as needed into regulars and otherwise using the orders it generates itself. Since it's got no short range capability it wants to do the proper PanO thin and force your opponent to go hull-down so the rest of your army can move unrestricted.

Here's a sample list with the concept at work: aQZ2YXJ1bmEBIIEsAgEKAAEBAQAAAQEBAAABAQQAAAEBBgAAAQEJAAAwAQIAAAEBAQAAAQEJAAAkAQEAAIS5AQIAAgUADAECAACDpwECAACExgEFAACExgEIAAAQAQEA

No engineer because engineers are for cowards. Spend all command tokens converting helot orders regular like a real capitalist psychopath. Ed has a more sensible version of this list, hit him up if you want deeper dojo than mine. :)

@@R0bertShepherd I'm fully on the train of lt cutter in group 2 my issue is that varuna going forward has to choose between going forward into hackers or templates. Those orc and montessa teams and peacemakers are great to attack into templates but hackers make them sad and all their unhackable attack options are 1w elite light infantry who dont want to see templates or deployables

[@zephyrrrr4813]

like in your list I'd really hate to deal with a repeater net
