Lightbulb Wait then fire strategy

(UNTESTED)
I decided to make a strategy based around the Wait then Fire attack.
Use any amount of figures with the Wait then Fire attack. (e.g. Ashigaru Harquebus, 4th Mass.) And any choice of supportive fire, defense. (Your best bet would be any soulborgs for their high defense and range. Or if you are only using 4th Mass as the Wait then Fire figures, a valiant army for their defense bonus,.. but like I said, your best bet are figures with high defense so you can protect the Wait then Fire figures.)
Take your W.T.F. (haha,.. wtf...) figures to a hotspot in the map with your defensive army leading to block L.O.S. and take all of the hits. Once your W.T.F. figures are at the spot you wish to hold, commence the W.T.F. for as long as you possibly can until your opponent is at the point, (Or move to a new spot if they are out of range). Then pummel your opponent with the massive attack of the W.T.F. figures!
Idk.. This is my first strategy I have made up BEFORE the battle.
Tell me what you think!

Re: Wait then fire strategy

Svannim,

The WTF +1s do NOT stack. Nonetheless, WTF is one of the game's premiere abilities.

~Aldin, who notes that if it did stack then your strategy would be fine

He either fears his fate too much
or his desserts are small
That dares not put it to the touch
to gain or lose it all

I'm confused. Could you explain Wait then Fire to me again, only a little slower this time.

Re: Wait then fire strategy

Whats sad is watching Onacara with 6x 10th regiment sitting in the start zone and trying to guess his strategy.

Re: Wait then fire strategy

Okay guys, heres the results... even WITH my custom stacking rules,... thats strategy was a complete bust. My 4th was slaughtered. Its like a turkey on thanksgiving day, waiting while a farmer with a shotgun takes his aim just to spit on him and die. Yes, very descriptive. However! The soulborg strategy was sensational. My 4th lasted 4 rounds under constant fire because of them, that is, until my buddy flew right over the wall of robots, cut through me like a hot knife through butter, and bam! I was ruined! What a game though!
Oh, and I played on my latest map, wich I have named the land of the dead. Check it out. It's under custom maps.

P.S.
This is what the alphabet would look like without Q and R.
