How so?

For the record, I doubt these guys will withstand Q9. If he's smart(ish) he will get somewhat close before attacking, so you are only looking at like a 20% chance of survival. That sucks. You will keep bringing in more Mr. T's only to have them die before they reach their target. I don't like that matchup at all.

I think that the Aubrien Archers could be a good teamate for the Mohicans. They attack from range while the Mohicans tie up the army. Or, you can use the Archers to draw the enemy in. They both get added move, and the Archers get a boost on their frenzy.

At this point, the MRT would have done better in Ullar, rather than Acquilla, even thought acquilla really needs the boost. Hopefully some of the unshown figures will help it out.

Does it really matter what general they are put in?

But you're forgetting the Frenzy advantage of the elves... AND their range 7 versus range 6 of the Mohicans.

I see the two of them in completely different tactical camps.

I agree even though no one has played with them yet except for the playtesters. Although an army of agents could probably counter that combo.

Bless you, Saint Grungebob. Even though I am scheduled to "clean" the BOOKS threads this summer (soon...soon), I hate cutting out new posts; so keep them on thread. (I won't mind cutting out this post at all.)

Question: If the Mr.Ts are on, say, 3-height with a figure 2 lateral spaces away, do the Mr. Ts get +2 to their d20 roll or +5?

In other words, do you count "spaces" laterally or according to the rules of Movement?

It's like counting for range, they get +2 in that situation.

Really? So if the shooter is on the ground and the Mr Ts are on adjacent spaces that are 4-towers-high, you're telling me they only get plus 1?

I think it's either +1 or +0. (Do we know how many spaces adjacent counts for?)

I really like the way new units massively effect older ones and prevent them from going obselete. I think this unit is (up to now, but probably not after wave 9 comes out, considering the repulsors) the only one specifically designed to make a really good prereleased unit worse. They seem really designed to counter the rats. If you tie them up, they become stronger, and then shooting at them gives them their concealment bonus. Very well done. It also adds to the incredibly fast-moving scout army. With Mittens, Venocs, Armocs, Elite Onyx, Spiders, Brave Arrow, the Mohicans, Theracus, and Sujoah, you've got yourself an army where everyone can move at least 7 spaces (except Brave Arrow on the attack), bonding between the spiders and sujoah, and the Mohicans and Brave Arrow, and Mittens and the Armocs. With Brave Arrow at the front, your spiders and vipers (except armocs) will be rolling an extra die, pushing the spiders from the weak roll of 2 to the reasonable roll of 3, and the vipers from the reasonable roll of 3 to the good roll of 4. This army is designed to run in quick and hit hard. Excellently done!
