Stratagems

[apologist]

Any thoughts from the noosphere on use of stratagems? These seem to be a fairly integral part of the game, but there's doesn't seem to be much discussion on them. 

 

In a small game last night, I used Blind Barrage and Sabotage to good effect to help drive a melee-focussed Warlord up the table. On turns I couldn't avoid being out of cover, I used Blind Barrage to cover the Titan; while Sabotage proved hugely useful in reducing incoming fire on a critical turn. Neither were enough to win the game, but I think the Warlord would have really struggled without them.

 

Thinking of counter-measures, the other player could have used Proximity Mines to slow me down, perhaps?

Anyway, I wanted to throw open the floor to anyone who wanted to expound upon their use of stratagems.
