Have You Seen This Missing Strategic Asset?

Postby Drax » Thu May 13, 2010 5:25 pm

i'm thinking of putting an advert on the side of a milk carton for this one

on page 17 of Apoc Reload under the Skyhammer Orbital Strike Force, it says that 'a players army containing a skyhammer orbitsal strike force automatically has the careful planning and sever the head, slay the body strategic assests'

what does 'sever the head, slay the body' do and where can i find it?

Ah, that old nugget :)

Depending on where you read it, either GW took the asset out at the last minute and missed the reference on the datasheet, or renamed it to Trophy Kill. Given the name of the missing asset, Trophy Kill seems like a reasonable substitute as it's related to taking down the "leader" of the enemy force.

ah, right i see.

thanks - was trying to decide whether to just go for the Strike Eagle Drop Pod Assault from IA:A - may as well just go for the latter then really

Go with trophy kill.

As with all apocalypse stuff, it is down to the group you are going to play it with to nut out all of these issues prior to the game starting. Apoc isn't meant for pick-up games (unless you're 11).

Our club games generally involve setting time limits, unit limits, stratagem limits, etc the week before just so there aren't any of these questions on the day.
