What was the purpose of shooting your weakest guns to strongest? If you have him lit up why not just shoot the strongest?
I am not sure I understand why either, but I guess maybe his Idea was that if you shoot the weakest first then you can save the strongest for other targets? Though I would think I would take my highest likely chance with stronger weapons first. Then fire “weaker” weapons at infantry or weaker targets.
Or maybe we are too focussed on the set up… monolith and raider… I suppose if there was a chaos rhino in place of the monolith, maybe we would fire a weaker weapon first. IMO.
I think the point he was trying to make, and got tongue-tied about, was use one of your weak shooting units; i.e. the Rhino, to move forward to lite up the target. Thereby leaving your stronger unit stationary for more shots. I think he just kept referring to it as shooting, but was only talking about it in context of keeping the strongest guns stationary.
Twas obviously the point indeed. Dont think that was hard to understand!
When I first red “Get out your flashlights”, I thought of lasguns. XD
yep good tip, good vid.
With all the tech in the 40k universe you would think they would splash on night vision for their vehicles 😛
That said this rule makes for some fun skirmishes.
At first I thought that in the tittle you where speaking about Imperial Guard lasgunsXD
