It's similar to the 40k release of Eldar. Being able to take jetbikes as troop choices represents a 'sea change' in 40k - it punishes some of the 'classical' power builds that rely on being able to sit there and shoot the enemy for long enough.

ASF represents much the same thing. HE elite units can now take on high damage, low rank units (i.e. cavalry) that would have destroyed them in the past. The 'received wisdom' that cavalry is king will change slightly in the face of this - static combat res (ranks, numbers) and flanking will become much more important as a result.

Ploughing straight through the middle will only work for the most powerful cavalry units like Grail Knights and Chosen Knights. People fret not because "my army can't beat it" but really because "my army build can't beat it".

Welcome to a brave new world :happy:.
