Titan Legions and Imperator Class Titan..Game 3

We manage another game of Imperious Dominatus warfare in the age of Horus. It was 3000 point per side and it was between Titan Legions and Imperator Class Titan..

So our third game with the Imperator Class Titan..

This game was to test the points and other concerns of the Imperator Class Titan, we know that it wont win, if it can’t control the objectives..This game is not about that, it was about to see if the points cost is right and other stuff.. ..My gut feeling is that it maybe between 500 to 1000 points to low..I gather, that will depend on want forces it faces..…

So were are test IMPERATOR-TITAN-B version..and time to test the CAF

*****************************************************************************************************************Summary

Ok that went well..interesting the Imperator Class Titan did more damage in Close combat, then it did in shooting..

Ok the CAF of 60, well none of the Warlords got a hit, the closest result was 63 to 69..it should be 45 at most and then the Warlord would have hit and the close combat weapons would have kicked in..

Power Management Options Table, I have some concerns, so lets start with “Add 5cm move, 2 max upgrades”, it was used today and so we had three Warlords moving 25 cm’s and so that 50cm march..I’m unsure that Warlord should be moving that fast and really unsure of Mars Pattern Reaver Battle Titan should be moving 30cm.. ..

There are some others but, I want to have some more test games, to see..

Regards

Greg
