Re: How to counter Turtle/steamroll/blitz armies

Still wrong on your probability.

1_1/3 or 4/3 is the correct form.

Exactly. Cyprien landing in the middle of 8 4th mass (150 vs. 140) is going to get torn apart by WTF.

Wait then Fire



Why would Cyprien swoop in on a group of fourth if there was more than one order marker on the 4th?

Look, someone said Cyprien was a counter to the 4th turtling. My statement is my perspective of why that's not true.

It is true, if you use him right. You could keep Cyprein eight spaces away from the group of 4th, then have any of your other figures attack any of their other figures. At the end of the round, they will most likely place the order markers on the figure getting attacked, or someone who could kill their attackers. Then, you swoop in with Cyprein and take out up to six fourth mass.

Re: How to counter Turtle/steamroll/blitz armies

If someone is playing a true 4th/10th army (3-4+ squads) their markers are going to be on them. Cyprien flies in (from out of range) and most likely kills 1 member of the squad. On thier next turn, they WTF Cyprien dealing 3-4 wounds (more than likely). Cyprien tries to either kill again or runs away. If he sticks around he'll probably die on his next turn.

So can you please tell me how that is effective?

Ummm, he could stealth fly out of the group of 4th, and eat some of his own figures.

I also said that it would be a bad idea if there were lots of order markers on the 4th.

Re: How to counter Turtle/steamroll/blitz armies

Ok, but he still only managed to kill (at most) 2 figure before taking 3+ wounds. If you do leave to eat your own figures you give the 4th/10th player free turns and do their killing for them.

Cyprien is not good against 4th/10th. It's not impossible but it is a horrible match up for him.

Re: How to counter Turtle/steamroll/blitz armies

Cyprien may not be the "best" figure to take out the 4th, but if you use him right, he can.

Exactly. Cyprien landing in the middle of 8 4th mass (150 vs. 140) is going to get torn apart by WTF.

So the winning strategy for Cyprien versus several squads of 4th Mass is for the 4th Mass player to not have any Order Markers on them?

Yes. But they won't if the player's other figures are being attacked. Cyprein could start eating the opponents other figures, so they would have to take turns instead of the 4th mass. Then Cyprein swoops in on the 4th for that round and kills up to 6 of them.
