Cards

Great, thanks for the link only one question though. The Tunguska can fire its SAM and its 40mm as a reaction. Doesn't seem right. Is it?

Its SAM can only fire AA... it maybe that the air phase doesn't provoke a reaction so irrelevant, possibly.

As for the 40mm.... its damn nasty but then whese things are, look at what the Wirbelwind did in WW2 it was one of the most feared anti infantry weapons going as well as a good bit of AA defence. Personally having no intrest in getting MEA hope it looses its reaction fire :wink:
 
It's interesting because it can only fire once in the MEA player's turn. I'm not debating its ability as an anti-infantry weapon, even the humble HBM2 .50cal started out as a anti-aircraft gun and is now happily used as an anti-infantry weapon. It just seems strange that a turret weapon can react that quickly to something that is happening.

Although I just noticed that the 40mm cannon on the warrior can fire as a reaction too. :shock:

unfortunatly it cant :(

look under the armoured rule on the card. (the warrior may never make any reactions)
 
Thanks for that Evil. Just noticed that there is a similar rule under armoured for the tunguska too. That answers that.
 
Originally the 40mm was AA. That's why it's able to put so much lead into the air in one go. The 40mm cannons are meant to supplement the SA-19s the same way the stryker's minigun is meant to supplement the stingers it has. The basic idea is that missiles do miss and are jamable so there's always a need for conventional AA too.
 
I can't look at you. You're somewhere else. And I'm not blaming you either Hiro. I was just saying that that was how its meant to work.
