      For me the previous episodes have really re-written how Batreps "should be done" but this one was just amazing! A great game, that wasn't a boring gunline (I play Tau so feel I can comment) and I mean a Coldstar taking down a Knight?! Haha. Great match-up, awesomely painted minis, keep it up guys you're doing a great job!

    The crisis suit charges into melee, something he was told not to do in his training but he must kill that knight for the Greater Good. Under a hail of flames and bullets, he gets into melee and he jump packs up to the knight's face and punches with his fusion blades. He lands back down as the knight topples backward with a giant thud as it displaces the dirt around him.

    This was incredibly fun to watch! I love the running score and CP counter. It was easier than ever to follow the scoring. Incredible looking models on both sides as well and both players were entertaining as hell to watch. I hope they come back! One quick question (I'm a brand new player), why did the flyer have to come off the map? I thought movement phase was optional for each model.

    • @StevoE26
      @StevoE26 4 ปีที่แล้ว +16

      some models (such as flyers without the hover rule) have a minimum movement amount. supersonic flyers such as the tigershark can only turn up to 90 degrees. these two rules combine to make it so as the tigershark couldn't complete its minimum movement within its allowed turning radius without flying off the map and being destroyed. this is set to change in 9th edition though where when a flyer is forced into this position then it will enter reserves instead of being destroyed so it can come back later in the game.
