Re: Two AARs--John Atkinson vs Laserlight

G'day,

Takes practice but is possible - try flanking moves (another thing that
takes prcatice but works very well against the KV).

Actually it is, you've just got to learn to exploit it - and the methods
whereby you do that are going to be different in vector.

Actually I don't think that's necessary, just out of interest were you
using the new mechanic or the old for dealing double damage?

Seeings as it rips thru' armour too your best defenses would be longer
range beams or high manuverability. Keep the sods at range, hit them
from
both sides and make them use up their scatterpacks needlessly would be
my
advice.

>It'll be interesting to see what develops.

Yep the xeno war's going to be a wild ride ;)
