Tactics:
[SHOOT THEM] ... nuf said
[NO ASTROPATH] I really NEED my guys to come in a bit later on, so the normal 3+ for turn 2 will be fine. If I got 83% of my Deep Striking reserves on turn 2 with an Astropath and I went first, then I wont be able to react to the enemies reserves.
[FIRST OR SECOND] With 150+ bodies on the board I'm thinking that maybe going 2nd might be a really good Idea so I can have the last move onto objectives, and for other missions going first. Baring of course First Blood!
[BODIES] I have 150 men on the board, even more than my 5th ed infantry lists. This should help mitigate the 5+ cover that I am now relying on
[NO AEGIS] I am foot guard, I don't what to NEED fortifications ... but it is something that I'm considering.
[NO VEHICLES] I will miss the searchlights the most and my cool FW models. I might be able to sneek in a Scout Sentinel?
[OWN A SPOT] Choose 1 objective, or 2 close together ones and Deep Strike in NEAR it but not on it, roughly 18" away with all 55 men. Then casually stroll up to it with great gout's of plasma fire ... what could posibly go wrong?
