How will artillery be effected by the 6" limitation on firing during the Marquee?

I have heard some say that artillery will be limited while others say not. Help me out because I'm playing SS and I could use the AA arty is it isn't.

Raininva has ruled that arty is a ranged attack and therefore limited to 6". Make sure your Battlemaster checks the official forums before Friday!

But since the minimum range of arty is the maximum range of standard ballistic, doesn't that mean most arty can't be used at all? Or, could it be used ONLY at 6" - no more, no less?

Only units that have a max normal range of less than 6 inches could do an artillery attack in the Marquee.

it is really sad when you have a set that would be very good in sealed, have 7 scuplts rendered almost useless due to the scenario rules. That is 28 units!!!!! going to be a long marqee if you pull any of those

Most of the Mortar Sqauds will still be able to place POGs (most have 4" max"). Even the Puppy Mortars can place a pog right at 6", and with a 2" blast nit things 4-8" away from it. Quite powerful in this limited range contest since they cannot be charged.

Arty is limited to 6" attack. You could use the mortar squads to place pogs. And if you get one of the towed arrow IV units w/ 0 " minimum you can use pogs.

The real question should be DO YOU WANT TO?

Just out of curiosity, is anyone planning on using Derek Hasbani as their token SS unit?

Actually, I have given serious consideration to this.

But the unit I am looking at most is the SS Sprint. with the range restrictions to 6" for ranged combat, this thing can move 10" and then fire. The high movement and the move and shoot might make it a ideal harasser w/out worrying about AA fire.

I'd take the Atlas if I had one -_- Got an extra? j/k
I'm thinking of a Mobile HQ, though personally I really like not having to worry too much about artillery ...

Due to the focus on Mechs for this marquee, and the fact taht many units have low defenses. I am going to use support units as my choices. SSw J-37 for a repair vehicle and 3-slot trasnport. And for Liao I am going ot use the Zahn heavy transport. That way with even the limited range I can move my infantry into battle, or "drop" a tank to blow away a unit at an opportune time

Not to many mech that have a 6" or under range.

I what thinking of playing Jayson Bell, but I guess thats out.

you cant bring a piece that is in the new set to use as your faction decider.

So, say i pulled a shockwave of liao form CA. can i use him?

oh wait it does not clairify if you can use new pieces or not.
