What is up with House Davion?

[baw]

The ELITE towed Gauss Rifle only has a 12 inch range!

The LRM battery is the only one without streak? (AP may not be awful)

I am just trying to figure out the logic on the Towed Gauss rifle?

Any ideas?

OK, so the range is relatively poor, but the 3 damage all the way down the dial can be boosted to 4 with the Davion FP so they always remain a threat. Also, the 270 arc is a big advantage for a zero movement piece that can be outflanked with an arc of just 180 (which I think every other TGR has).

Maybe Davion is going to feel the heat when the Falcons Prey SSwn pieces disappear from the tourny scene?

I do see some of the advantages.. I just thought the 12" range was bad. All the other ones had 14. 3 damage all the way is nice but if a mech shoots at it.. it is probably going to be destroyed regardless. I think I would have preferred Ballistic armor but I guess that is HS signature now! I just hope HD isn't going to get short range as their new style.

I have always felt that Elite units where being treated unfairly.

I mean think of it Elite Peasant Company ? This is where it all started to go wrong.

The Green Joust is the best.

Elite Infantery is not the best inf.

Ridicilous all clearly a persnonal attack my own person.

Heads will roll when I become World Champion

ahhh now we know where the problem is.. it is ELITE's Problem.. I think you should only be allowed to play Elite Infantry and Elite units at Worlds.. yes.. I think I am going to suggest that strongly

Having played the Falcons ever since they came out, I can live with short ranges as long as I get the high AVs to compensate. If they go for shorter ranges with big damage, it may not count for much if your AV means you struggle to hit in the first place.

[baw]

I agree. I don't care what your damage is if you can't hit me! Although there are always those players who don't know the odds and can roll 3 6's all the time

Bigger damage for shorter range and lack of high attack is worse than useless.

I hope this is just a fluke and not a new paradigm for HD.

*jots down notes*

Eeeeeeeek,

Well wait, I agree if all firstimers at worlds play with green units all returnees play with Veteran units........

Still it will make for some weird armies......

Also Can I play Liao Elite units only then ?

Sounds like a special Event.

[baw]

Only from Domination forward, Elite. It would make for some interesting army builds that is for sure!

[Zxqueb]

Let's see elite... You get to play elite Liao units and I play all green units?! I don't think I like this idea AT ALL!!


That's a LOT of extra damage against me!!

[elite130]

Hee after 4 times you can use Elite units too.......

I mean how hard can it be to be invited for worlds 4 times......

And you have the advantage of being an american......

[baw]

Uhoh... No liao Long toms or HS TTL's.. hmmm I am in trouble

[elite130]

But BAW it is your 2nd time you can use Veterans with 2 chevrons.....

[baw]

I know Liao Long toms are Elite and the good HS TTL is Elite
