VoteWar Mk V Discussion Thread

[Caluin]

more importantly, wasnt the info gonna be up yesterday?

Info thread won't be up for awhile yet. Not until after the Infantry Mini is finished. This'll suffice for now.

He said today (Wednesday, May 10th) at 7 am PST, which is 1500 GMT. His second post, first page if you want to see the original text.

But what are the guidelines for the lists? It never definitively states. He suggests 1500 points, but never puts a definite limit down...

Hrm, I guess I can see that. Okay.

1500 point lists. Normal rules apply, except that you have another 300 points to spend on up to two units. The two extra units are to be used only in the case that two lists end up playing each other again, and they may not break any FO rules. If the FO chart is completely filled up from the main list, then the extra units must be taken from the Troops sections.

Double elimination, like last time. I thought that went quite well. Same mission rules.

Rather than 2 units its probably better to make it 1 FoC slot. It makes a difference for things like Imperial Guard who should be taking a reserve platoon instead of squad. Also 6 eldar vypers will probably beat anything other reserve squad in the game.

Also 6 eldar vypers will probably beat anything other reserve squad in the game.

Which is why thats over the 300 point limit(if you give them a starcannon)

[LordLink]

or you could leave them with a shuriken cannon and catapults which is still devastating when you have 6 of them.

[ForgedInTheFurnaceOfWar]

But is definatly not the best thing you could spend 300 points on.

Id take 3 LST over those any day.

Longer range, better weapons, better BS.

[LordLink]

Just wondering you've been badmouthing Alaitoc eldar (that damned disruption craftworld ) for a while now Caluin. I'd already designed an Alaitoc army for votewar but now im under the impression they arent allowed due to disruption rolls. Is this correct?

If so I'll go design a different list, save me a space.

[Robizzle]

I wouldn't have thought they would be ruled out. All it would mean is you can't really designate disruption rolls as well as you would in a proper game.

[JORMAGI]

naw I wouldn't worry about it, I think he's just still bitter about his Alpha Legion loosing to them in votwar mark II? Something like that. . .
