chtio a écrit:A quick personnal feedback from the Belgian Grand Open this weekend where we played the "players place terrain" mode...It was the first time I actually used it, but it was exactly how I imagined it. You can derive insane advantages by placing terrain like that knowing where you'll set up. Like, I was playing tau, so I was just piling up terrain in my deployment zone, and I almost never had any LOS issues most games...not very balanced to other army styles I'm afraid 8-[
Once set, tables look like poop.
You end up with silly situations like...owners of Aegis defense lines always get a LOS Block in front of there quad gun, so cool -> partly kills fortifications interest.
Another sad effect of this terrain placement process is that when placing objectives when knowing where you setup (unlike at etc), whenever the amount of objectives are uneven then the one who places one first has a direct advantage.
Oh and of course, it does take time.
So imo, this process is simply irrelevant to tournament play.
When I play a game, I expect it to be with balanced scenario and table, otherwise I can play at the games workshop in the city centers and 'have fun" with kids.
This will look probably a bit blunt, but I really hope we're not going to have that terrain placement at ETC.
