Thread on Taccom http://www.tacticalwargames.net/taccmd/viewtopic.php?f=24&t=28582

Well after some testing and concern from the community, we played the cobra d-cannon the following way:
 
Cobra D-Cannon 30cm 2BP MW, Ignore Cover, Fixed Forward, or MW4+ TK(D3+1), Ignore Cover, ignore void shields/powerfields, Fixed Forward.

The main changes above were the MW3+ to MW4+ .

Trent played the Biel-Tan and me and Britt played the Legio Gryphonicus .
