PSA about Alpha Legion Stratagem

[aura_enchanted]

So there's an abuse I've discovered that csm can do that basically makes it impossible for a person to shoot at units around a character until said character is killed and they can only be meleed to death. And if the player isn't dumb or hasn't already sold his screen he's got a melee unit close enough to save the HQ from serious harm.

 

 

at least for a time. This is a serious rules not written as intended. But basically it has to do with how an alpha legion stratagem works with the new rules regarding targeting hq's both in and out of cover with shooting attacks. This will hopefully be faq'd or even possibly erratad off the face of the onnissiahs red mars but until such a time be warned of this rules abuse circling the wires lately. As it basically makes dead zones where shooting can't pass through and melee isn't done without great risk.

 

I'll provide a link to an example case scenario when I'm less occupied

Would have been a lot more useful to list the stratagem and rules interactions you’re talking about.

I believe that combo would revolve around conceal- on a unit with the buff character out front within 3" and a closer friendly unit positioned out of LoS. If this is the one I personally don't think its all that abusive. More a twist on an already fanastic strat. DG can do similar.

Please continue the discussion here, since it already exists there.
