I a...I think you have all brought up great points.<br /><br />I agree with Dverning that if I try to do this frequently against the same opponents, they will learn to exploit it. Or they will at least remember to stay out of range.<br /><br />Eriochrome and A Thousand Hats seem to agree that this is a nice trick to use when the opportunity presents itself.<br /><br />As usual, the battlefield and the opponent will dictate at least a portion of the tactics.Feldmarshal Goehringhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05042719798290216592noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936527599503149137.post-64989597628466926792009-08-04T10:16:38.621-04:002009-08-04T10:16:38.621-04:00It's a clever little trick.

Close combat orientated armies will be pouring towards you so you should be able to pull it off against them. Against the sit back and shoot forces you'd be better off doing something different (either Deep Strike or regular deploy).<br /><br />It's a good one to have in your play book though - thanks for sharing!Carl Brownhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08839386900606623269noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936527599503149137.post-51759644990088049512009-08-04T08:35:23.489-04:002009-08-04T08:35:23.489-04:00I could see this happening a lot. 18 inches is no...I could see this happening a lot. 18 inches is not that far from the center of the table so aggressive players could easily cross that especially with deepstriking forces very quickly.eriochromehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10377904099582258296noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1936527599503149137.post-16053564907622686412009-08-04T00:55:08.719-04:002009-08-04T00:55:08.719-04:00From my experience, it's one of those things t...From my experience, it's one of those things that everyone does once...<br /><br />You're playing aggressive... you're wanting to get into their lines... you're focussed on that terrain/objective/target... and totally forget that something went into Reserves rather than Deep Strike.<br /><br />If your opponent's smart, they'll learn from that mistake. If they're brilliant, they'll learn to use it against you. (Example: moving to 20" from the edge and waiting or moving to 17.5 but behind a bunch of difficult terrain.)<br /><br />It's the kind of thing that someone will make when they're not thinking straight or over-excited, but not one I'd count on as a strategy. At least, that would be my anecdotal experience with it.Dverninghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18098608506710554678noreply@blogger.com
