Best of luck. I haven't played DZC in a few months. Did get a couple of games of DFC in. Both games decided on who can make their rolls in ground combat. I really hope this isn't a trend. Also wish Hawk would put their DFC stuff on their website and send me the rest of my Admiral pledge. Rant done.<br />Have a good time.Newtoncainhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06373268149620971601noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3505622444708996182.post-48764937265174380252017-01-26T01:31:04.233+00:002017-01-26T01:31:04.233+00:00Nice post, Mike!

That extra 12" was much needed! (That's what sh-... No, won't go there...) ;-)<br />Surging Strike was the mission. I screwed up the Turn 1 deployment of one of my two squads of Angelos, and they were definitely threatened by the Broadsword that plopped down out of its Condor next and onto the Focal Point opposite them. So when I went to place my Hera blob (2 Hera's and 3 Apollos), I tried very hard to make sure they were all out of its range for a Turn 2 shot. Turn 2, I won Initiative, thankfully, and moved my Angelos behind a building and out of harm's way. But he never intended to go for my Angelos! And, I'd forgotten that the Broadsword has a MF of a mighty 4", and so the one Apollo that had to be stuck out a smidge ended up in its Line of Sight, and (tape measure, please...) 35" away! Ka-Ping! No more Apollo-A.<br /><br />The Broadsword was then responsible for killing two more Apollos and an Erebos before my Helios could get in range, and my dice cooperated, and took out the Broadsword.<br /><br />That night I ordered two Broadswords for myself and my UCM.<br /><br />Good call going with the one-Ferrum list.<br /><br />Have fun!jdwelch62https://www.blogger.com/profile/09012158948009848728noreply@blogger.com
