I’ve just put up a battle report of the game between Tony Francis and myself on the Slammers site. Lots of shots of explosions!
Take a look!

12ft x 5ft is a massive table, looks really good.
Bit of a slaughter, eh? Seems ole’ T beat the pants off ya, John!

The rule system does reflect what you should and shouldn’t do with different forces. The Antargrans are trained but not veterans (and certainly not Elite) so – with a large force and not that much in the way of leadership (even with a named colonel with elite skills) – you’ve gotta use them in defence really: set up a sniper; use him to designate literally a dozen missiles a turn rom the APCs and jeeps to saturate targets (while hoping he’s not spotted, of course…) and – while you’re doing that – gradually creep forward the armour to blow big holes in people (especially with the Zentaurs) and use leadership to up their firing ability a bit.
Oh, and use the infantry buzzbombs en masse. If you can do that from a defensive position, the Antagrans work well. In the attack? Not so much. That’s why they employed mercenaries!
Talking of which, the Waldheims – with their anti tank guns – can work well in defence or offence: I just didn’t use them well. The Thunderbolts work well in the attack but he fought back hard from a defensive position and managed to catch a lot on the road while I was deploying. And for a change – other than his ability to blow his own main guns with poxy dice rolls – Tony’s dice throwing wasn’t too bad!
He certainly deseerved the win! Oh and I put another page of pics up – Tony supplied his ones.

Ya, would have been a bit of a different story if you could have gotten that sniper into play rather than BBQ’d!
