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+ .

Summary
Ok always nice when the opponent rolls a critical at the right time. I missed queued the two cobras that were two close but through the risk was worth it,to get the BTS, which would have won me the game…Oh well live and learn..
The HB’s perform well although were left out in the open, when it came to AA cover and support, so time to put them in wave serpents and see how they go……
May the dice roll high for you
Regards
Greg
