Yesterday we made a real test of our rule modifications -
moved to the first post of this topic.
I hope that it is the last rule update and we would not be edited for a long time.
Starting distance: 50 inches
Terrain: 2 dense forests (A4 size) at the edges of battlefield and lots of walls (about 25% blocking LOS and the rest where heavy covers)
Visibility: fine weather, enemy deplyment zone seen in about 80%
Point Limit: 1500
Armies: Imperial vs Capitol
Imperial:
3 Squads of Regulars with 2 chargers each (7 models each) (Specialists: Very Strong, Sergeants: Bionic Eye)
2 Regular Captains with Sniper Rifles (Bionic Eye)
1 Squad of Sterlings with 1 Destroyer (Sergeant: Subdermal Armor)
1 Squad of Black Berets with 1 Gehenna Puker (Sergeant: Subdermal Armor)
1 Black Beret Captain with 2 Chainrippers and 2 Interceptors (Crack Shot and Laser Sight)
1 Hurricane Walker with 2 Soutpaws
1 Gray Ghost
1 Corporate Medic
Capitol:
2 Squads of Heavy Infantry with 2 M89 each (7 models each) (Specialists: Very Strong, Sergeants: Command Helmet)
1 Squad of Martian Banshees (Sergeant: Subdermal Armor)
1 Banshee Hero with M50 Assault Rifle and 2 Car-24 SMGs (Pain Resistant and Laser Sight)
1 Squad of Desert Scorpions (Sergeant: Laser Sight)
1 Desert Scorpion Hero with Punisher Blade and Silenced M50 Assault Rifle (Scout and Laser Sight)
1 Mitch Hunter
1 Seconding Brotherhood Mystic (Great Coordination) Arts: Exorcism and Telekinesis
2 Corporate Medics
2 Great Grays Piloted by Desert Scorpion Captains (Equipped as normal Desert Scorpion)
First Impression: No Heavy weapons on Individual Models...!!!
End Turn Summary:
1st Turn: 1 wound on Great Gray Pilot, 2 Wounds on Hurricane Walker
2nd Turn: Hurricane Walker Destroyed, 1 Great Gray Destroyed, 3 Capitol Heavy Infantry Dead.
...
Battle Result is not important (my Capitol won!!!

) but the effects are:
- no first turn massacre - on the contrary to standard rules
- Squads had no problem with getting to Assault Rifle range (even to 12 inches)
- there were some forest encounters (Sterlings vs Martian Banshees) (Desert Scorpions vs Imperial Rerulars)
- every squad was able to kill at least 1 model
- no serious weapon/model domination was noticed but Banshee Hero, Desert Scorpion Hero, Black Beret Captain and Hurricane Walker had most kills
- Damage of Rocket Launchers (tested with Hurricane Walker) dealt to models behind heavy cover is improved by 20% (models with 26 armor must roll 14, not 18 as was with standard rules)
Now this topic fits more to "Open Discussion"
