Yes, I believe so.

Well here it is.

HighLander Hadur 48
SC R10 48
>RotS Kelswa 96
RotS Bishop 39
>SC T-Bird 19
>SC T-Bird 19
>SC Pal 16
RotS ATV x5 15 75
SC Fenrir x4 15 60
RotS-SC SA 30

I find the Highlander Hadur very Acceptable, also it will make working this army a lot easier, hunting a mech down with a drop is hard work in my expierance. There is still a GA between Highlanders and RotS right ? otherwise this is means taking less SC and RotS ATV/Fenrirs and add a RotS MHI/Centaur drop, but the Hadur is way better.

You are right this SA will be a premiere one, still I think a Kaminari Army might not fear it. Specialy when it dances around building shooting ATV's to small pieces.

Shoulda thought of Frankie myself. The IT should compensate for that 1 point of AV alone.

For the most part (read: so far) the Saxon's done it. I've used a SC T-Bird in the NC T-Bird drop to add a second piece but in this one I used the H TGR for more anti-infantry options. I have considered swapping in the SC NC for the NC NC, but, but... the NC's just so cool. Sigh. Such is the curse of the SA. :)

True however I do learn a trick or 2.

Some SA work. :p
Most people dont use Caustic :p

Some use Sub-Zero :angry:

With Perfect Day, the counter to caustic and a mission card I am not that worried about using BA or not.

Then again these are my insights and What do I know.... :knockedou

uhm since I'm just a scrub, I have a question. How does tank drop work against something like a shiro with concussion ammo??
So you dare him to to get the first shot by moving into range, if he hits you've just been pushed... now what?

Elite Rots/HL is a House Alliance so its like forever. not like a grand alliance that can stop for some reason. (so no worries there)

meant HL as in highlanders not as in House Liao (still used 2 HL-highlander and Liao as House Liao)

Ever since I got my hands on "Jack" and the LE pilot, I've been trying to figure out how to exploit it with my projectile heavy Wolves and Steiner pieces. I figured that she would be best in larger armies where I would have room for "Jack", a hard hitting projectile Mech(s), and some decent support, but I've also been toying with the idea of cramming LE Julie in a 600 pts game. So, I finally made this army:
"Jack" w/LE pilot
SH Griffin
SH Sniper Artillery
SH R10
-SH TGR x3
SH Fenrir BA x2
SH ATV x4
SH FP
599

I'd play lots of blocking and infiltrate "Jack" so that it would become Neo-Arnis. I'd use the Sniper to provoke the enemy to come to me or to help me rush them, dashing behind blocking on the way. The Griffin would stay near "Jack" and blast 6 ArP at whoever is unfortunate enough to be in range. The R10/TGR drop will support the Griffin, firing through blocking with the TGRs. The Fenrirs would be in formation with the R10 and would act as more support if the enemy gets too close. The ATVs... ATV. I figured Mountain Range, Perfect Day, Urban, Pull Together, and Control the City might work well with this army. Sadly, I just realized that within two weeks this army won't be tourny legal. *sigh* Thoughts?

While I certainly don't disagree with you in general, since new SAs mean new tactics (and is it just me, or has WK suddenly become obsessed with "free order" abilities? What's with that?) it does seem to me that recon infantry is going to be given fits and starts by arty. Sure it can move for free, once. But they'd better be together at the end of that order, or they're gonna face the old "push&click vs. stay and eat pog" dilemma.

3 CNC Bishops - 117
> 2 DF Tokugawas - 120
> 3 BR TGR - 57
2 JF Hadurs - 100
4 CNC ATV Squads - 56

450 on the nose.

I have found the DF Tokugawas to be all that you need against most opponents. In a pinch, the NC ATVs can make firing formations with them - the tank has a range of 10, and the ATVs 8, so not a big loss of range there, especially with infiltrate. The TGR drop is a viable threat on its own, and the Hadurs can take a hit and get better (my personal favorite artillery piece).

Thoughts?

Not that I've been reviewing much here...But...

This army has no synergy, it's really just a collection of drops: all of which will eat up too many of your order (and are actually quite frail)

If there was some continuity to the factions or a situational alliance, I'd dig it, but really, there's none of that...

Of course, that's just a first-glance reaction...

MId :)

Point of order on the rules.

The Republic/Spirit Cat Alliance IS usable only once. That is why it states 1/450.

Now before anyone goes off on the wording, do you recall the House Kurita and Bannsons cards that work on a 5/6 or 6 to eliminate all damage? The wording and layout are identical. These were clarified as your being able to roll for them as many times as you like but once they have been used once, the ability cannot be used again that turn.

The same is true of this card. It still states 1/450. Hence it will reduce by 1 the damage dealt on the first attack that deals damage. It will do it also on the second attack if and only if your build total is at least 900 points AND the unit targeted is a different unit because the same unit cannot benefit from such an ability more than once a turn (that's from the FAQ).

If you don't believe me then feel free to ask the question on the Rules forum. However as Trev understands it to work it is significantly overpowered compared to the other cards.

I'll be the first to go off on the wording! :p

"1/450: At the beginning of your command stage, choose an opponent. During that opponent’s next order stage, any damage dealt to a unit friendly to you is reduced by 1, to a minimum of 1."

I would advocate that at the beginning of your command stage you select one opponent per 450 points. The "any damage dealt to a unit friendly to you is reduced by 1, to a minimum of 1" clearly implies the reduction applies to all damage dealt by that opponent during that turn. In a multiple player game, you can change opponents each turn.

Overpowered? Maybe. Ambiguous? No.

Overpowered YES, Ambigious ill leave that to WK,

However if the wording is as is that you reduce everything with -1 damage per opponent. This will be the most played SA the coming year.......

That is overpowered.

The ambiguity is the 1/450.

The rules state a special ability that is marked as 1/450 may be used only once per turn per full 450 points in the event's build total. Hence whilst the wording of the card implies it always works, it does not override the basic precept, that because it is marked with 1/450 it may only be used once.

It has been clarified that way, as I said. And, like I said, if you do not (want to) believe me then ask it (again) on the WK Rules forum.
