Why? There's no minimum range on direct fire mode, and plasma bugs have to use direct fire mode against air units.

It was ruled that a landing air unit become a ground unit at the end of the turn. Since it moved as an air unit, models react to it as an air unit (think throwing up flak as it tries to land).

I like the models, though I would have liked to see them a little more grungier like the pictures in the Skinnie army book.

Looks good.

Hmm, I voted after reading the "favorite" in the title but before reading the "most effective" in the poll title. So... I voted for the cliff mites because they're cute and cuddly.

Hmm... Four and a half hour drive. I'll have to pass.

Yes, I understand and, to some extent, agree with that point. Some of the posts make it seem like if an army doesn't have AA weapons with a better than average chance of downing a plane before it has a chance to shoot, then they are utterly defenseless against Fleet. I'm trying to show the grey...

Now wait a second. If you're going to argue against what I said, don't misquote it.

Oops, I was wrong. That's what I get for trying to reference rules without a rule book.

Guard are a unit, not an army. If you're referring to the General, he has access to every single type of AA in the Skinnie army book! Do you and the people you play with take a plasma bug in every Arachnid army? Rapiers and air superiority TACs in every MI list? Small infantry can hide quite...

If every army could cheaply and reliably down any aircraft over the battlefield, what would be the point of taking any aircraft in the first place? Can the Skinnies defend themselves from aerial attacks? Yes. Do they have to work their skinny little butts off to do it? Yes. The only Skinnie...

My thoughts exactly.

My space is actually quite clean (relative to what it was) because I was sick two weeks ago. When I get sick, I feel unproductive, so I end up cleaning.

Messy room? Yes. Messy desk? Not really. You have quite a bit of open space in front of your keyboard.
