"This type of board is fantastic for a gunline, its very easy to destroy your enemies if you bring a lot of missile troops and warmachines on a longways board." "Anyway, for this battle my melee chaos army is going up against an Empire gunline." I swear to god I laughed out loud.
Love the initial 8mm Zapruder film look! Yes, going first is good versus shooters! 😎The spawn was an unknown quantity for your opponent. Perhaps it should have been on the shortest path to the cannons? Any point denial you can employ is clever. Theses fights are a go for the draw or the modest victory. Rough opening with Gaze and magick. Chaos is a harsh master. 😬Damnable cannons and damnable dice gods; you cannot catch a break. I will pour a drink and light a candle for your chaos lads. 😉
I play Empire and I hate gunlines. Although 48 handgunners in one unit is extremely inefficient. Would be far better to have smaller units with each their own smaller handgunner detachments. Would minimise the ability of a single unit to tie up 500 PTS worth of shooting and would actually make the detachment rules somewhat useful... Not that gunlines need more help. I hate em.
Yeah I think the big unit was sort of unkillable with banners and ranks etc. The problem with the hand gunners is they can’t volley fire? Anyway , I think shooting is pretty strong , a combined force is the way to go. But this table and terrain really favoured the gun line.

I told you before Mr Morgan Freeman, nobody is going to stop them! Long live the Creaky Gamers!

Yeah I should have had a better plan , and a bit of luck it might have gone better.

Isnt there a minimum range for cannon shots?
No I don’t think so ?
Ah just looked it up. Just the stone thrower and mortar has that.
