Last night it was the worst show of heroscape i have ever played. :(
My Dad had {Mimring,Q-9,Deathwalker 9000,Snipers,KMA,Nikta agents}.
I on the other hand had {Krug,Kaemon Awa,Ralgin,Zombies,heavy gruts,
Ninjas. I got my army handed to me! I got picked off badley, so i had
my Gruts,Ninjas,Zombies stay back.And wait for him to come to me.
Then the rest is history. Can someone tell me what i can do to improve,
and mabey not stay back or attack.

General neophyte opinion... both your armies were weak. His was all range, yours all melee. Not seeing the map tho, he probably had terrain on his side.

For melee to defeat range, it has to close and engage. If you stay back all he does is pick you off. Not sure of the best unit to use here though... If Krug could soak up some damage charging in then follow on with zombies or ninjas.

You'd have to use terrain to your advantage to stay out of LOS long enough to cet within striking distance. Once you lock up using engage you can attack with some, and bring on reinforcements. Thats one reaso why roborats are great at locking down range. Attack one and they scatter... into more engagements, tying up the shooters while the cavalry comes in.

One reason to try and balance an army with shooters, melee, and damage absorbtion (heroes).
