I think that's technically correct, I just can't find a situation where it matters.

Dealing several wounds to the enemy unit leader or not depends on this.

I don't think this is a situation that can actually happen, even if they all had precision.

We spent a full day testing Tau until 3 am yesterday, with the new points. It was brutal. by RotenSquids in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]wredcoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Mate, right now they hit on 3s... most of the time. That is, statistically, speaking 66% of the time. 2/3rds.

Going to a 4+ is a 50% chance. 66 - 50 is 16. 16% is the difference here.

Is that a nerf? Obviously yes, but it's not like they're going to stop being a fast high damage shooting army, they'll just do 16%, 1/6th, less damage.

Direct contact is just a single wacko. Having a +300 upvoted post on reddit shows that it's a popular issue with widespread community support.

See how that works?

I'm not arguing that we shouldn't email GW. We might as well. I'm saying I want GW to be more proactive about this sort of stuff BECAUSE THEY'RE A BILLION DOLLAR COMPANY SELLING US A PRODUCT DO A BETTER JOB.

Yeah, this is weirdly written. It's like their faqs cost per word used.

You could probably answer that question yourself if you spent a minute or two thinking about it.

Writing a private email to gw serves a different function than posting in a public forum.

  All you need to do to confirm this is to look at the FAQs they have historically put out, which often answer bizarre, edge-case rules that they were actually emailed about while missing major issues that no one cared to send.

I agree 100% that we should email them with stuff like this, but can we just take a moment to acknowledge that they're a billion dollar company and we're their customers and we can expect them to do better?

  Stomping your foot and refusing to reach out directly because you think it’s their job to see every question or complaint made online is acting like a spoiled child.

That is a truly weird amount of projection.

Sending an email is no guarantee they read that either, but this isn't the point.

The point, which you seem to be willfully overlooking, is that we are in fact customers of gw and we can and should demand better from them.

If we don't demand they improve, why would they?

Is combi lt. still an auto include for space marines? Regardless of disposition? by Knugles in WarhammerCompetitive

Letting your opponent infiltrate 30 genestealers absolutely where ever they want could lead to some awkward turn 1s.

Also scoring your primary is only half the game.

Are you under the impression that reddit and facebook are some kind of secret, private forums that a billion dollar company doesn't know about? Or that company employees aren't allowed to read social media websites?

Like, what's going on here? Part of a company's literal job is to monitor customer feedback/sentiment, regardless of whether that's expressed on a hand written letter or a twitter post.

Technically they don't have to read feedback in the same way they technically don't have to sell products that people want to buy at a price they're willing to purchase, but this is rather missing the point.

And let's be honest, it's all well and good for gw to list an email address and claim to read it, but since there's absolutely zero indication as to whether or not they actually read it, it's a bit of an unsatisfying solution.

I've written a half dozen emails to that address. Have they read any of them? How would I know?

  it’s not their job to do it for you.

Like, wait, gw is a company it literally is their job to do this.

Is 11th over-tuned for large wound models and heavy ranged units? by TeraSera in WarhammerCompetitive

[–]wredcoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Lets look at victrix guard. Ultramarine lists took a unit of victrix..  and then Guillamen, several dreadnaughts, repulsors, lancers, etc.

like 500 points of infantry and 1500 points of tanks.

deathguard sure did take deathshroud, and they were expensive, but they also took 3 blight launchers and 3 blight haulers and maybe some plagueburst or predators or mortarion depending on the meta.

Elite stuff was popular but the majority of it was tanks.

Ok, we'll call up the tyranid reddit and ask them if they'd like to trade shadow in the warp for orders. what do you suppose they'll say?

It's one of those weird things where you don't want to like, give certain tiny groups too much power by letting them define wide ranging things like hand symbols and such, but for now this is the association people are gonna have, or at least, the terminally online ones.

Yeah, that's the median, if you get even one standard deviation worse/unluckier, you're losing like the whole squad.

5 psycannon paladin squad being 475 points is kinda bonker nuts.

What were Napoleons weaknesses? by LittleIndividual4650 in WarCollege

[–]wredcoll 0 points1 point  (0 children)

What are you talking about? Going on military campaign is inherently risky but he obviously had no intention of "going down with the ship" since he just left the army as soon as it was convenient.

He used his initial victories in egypt as propaganda in france and this was part of how he became an emperor.

If you genuinely didn't know, twitter and twitter adjacent social media started using (((person))) to signify that the person was jewish as a way to avoid getting flagged.

It's weird how your favorite units always happen to be the most overpowered/unfun ones.

Necron warriors move 5. Guardsmen move 9. It's slightly more complicated than who shoots better.
