Re: So much pointless technicality...

But if you want to get ridiculous numbers of kills, the best I've read about is a Shaolin Monk against infinite Rats if the Rat-player uses Scatter to keep moving them adjacent. (SotM Raelin works for this too.) That's the only truly indefinite scenario I've seen (assuming you don't have a limit on the number of Rats). Of course, when it comes to consistently burning through high-point squaddies, Braxas is definitely one of my top picks any day. Monthly Utah Tournaments in SLC!!

As a noob, I dont really understand this. Who is going to put Spartacus, Taelord and Sgt Drake in a Little Group in front of Braxas? So other than just a quiz question of hypothetical situations, what does it matter, its never going to happen in a game? |

Re: The Book of Braxas
Yeah I do all my play testing games solo, then I can just relax and have fun without needing to keep track of anything when I play with friends. If you enjoy playing games solo, might as well make it a play test for one of the custom groups. It gives you a chance to see new units early and new units can always spice up the game a bit. If you are looking for someone to play against though, I have not yet tried it myself but quite a few people around here play each other online so you can look into that. Their are also quite a few New York players on this site, talk to them about local games.

Re: The Book of Braxas
I was looking at Braxas in relation to the Samurai earlier today and nearly had a stroke. I'd say that she's even more potent against them than just about any other faction that comes to mind--at least the rats and other squad-based armies can rely on numbers!
All she needs is one turn to practically delete any Samurai squad from the game (one will likely survive, but by that point their value is practically nil), and I shudder at the thought of facing her with the Unique Samurai squads (particularly the Tagawa Samurai, who come at a whopping 40 points per figure). The best that they can hope to do is at least wound her before dying, but that's highly reliant on getting the height and the first attack, which is extremely difficult when considering that she has flying and a total threat range of 10 for her breath). The Kozuke Samurai should at least deal some significant damage to her before falling, but that's reliant on them actually being able to reach her, which, even with their full charge of 8 move, isn't possible to do without being within her range for at least one turn. The poor Izumi can't do a thing, as their feeble 2 attack will barely scratch her, and the Tagawa Samurai need time to build up their bloodlust. Hopefully Kaemon Awa's in the backline, because none of the Samurai will last long against Braxas. I don't know if I've ever seen one unit counter an entire faction so heavily before, with the possible exception of the Omnicron Repulsors. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Re: The Book of Braxas
Good point! The Einar Imperium are even more expensive than the Tagawa Samurai. Then again, I think that those units generally hate a lot of stuff, too... Three defense just sounds painful when they cost that much, and Kiova can only help that so much.
It's nice to remember that plenty of other stuff hates Braxas, too, though. Proud Member of Platyfly!

Great point on how well Braxas can counter the Krav Maga Agents' Stealth Dodge. We typically don't use them that much at my table, but I'm well aware of the troubles that they can cause. Proud Member of Platyfly!
