While I am here, I would like to dispel the myth that the G'nators suck. If you have two squads of these guys, add in Raelin and the Nakita, you will have an army that is pretty hard to beat.
In fact, you just need two squads of these guys to do some damage.
I think most people forget how the G'nators are different than other ranged units. Here are some of the things that stand out:
1. The G'nators have a below average defense. A defense that is lower than almost every other ranged unit. Sure, they get one certain shield, but they can only get 2 shields maximum.
2. The more defense die they get, the more their ability helps them. On the other hand, if your G'nator had 2 defense dice, they would be a force that is pretty hard to kill. 2 possible shields + 1 absolute shield beats 3 possible shields any day. This only gets better as more defense dice are added to the G地ators. If you have ever tried to kill a G地ator that is rolling 4 dice you will know what I am talking about.
3. They are fast. Very fast. For a range unit at least. They can gain the high ground easily, or they can rush for glyphs faster than other ranged units. (If you don稚 know already, it is better to have ranged units on a glyph.)
So what did we learn from this? The G地ators are weak without an advantage. If you just have them sitting in the middle of the board shooting at the enemy, they will die. Luckily, the G地ators are good at getting the advantages they need. They have a high speed, so they gain height quickly. If you are playing with a G地ator based army, that should be your first priority. Get the gorillas up high. Everything you do on the first few turns should help you do this. (If your enemy gets the high ground first, he will tear you G地ators to confetti. There is no reason this should happen though.)
This is where the Nakita help your army. A few turns with them in the beginning, and your Primadons should have the glyphs, high ground, or any other advantageous position. Once you have your G地ators settled in you can begin a nice rain of death coming from their guns. In order to keep them firing away happily, I recommend having Raelin with you. (Now would be the time to move her forward. Keep her in the back until you have your positions.) A Gorillanator with height and Raelin behind him is a impossible to kill. If you can set up this formation fast, you have won the game.
So, do you guys still think these guys need to be put into the same group as DW7 and Dund?
