This was super helpful to lean into tactical and build for it. Inceptors have actually been clutch to come down where I need em and or keep the opponent from scoring. Plasma shredded 5 gravis bodies last night without oath even

Always run a lone operative for getting those early secondaries that would likely get overwatched. If you have a unit that can go into deep strike at the end of your opponent’s turn, run at least one of them for Capture Enemy Stronghold, Behind Enemy Lines and Engage on all Fronts. Always keep something resilient on or near enough to your home objective to ensure that your opponent doesn’t just get an easy 8VP with Capture Enemy Stronghold. Always keep your utility squads at minimum squad size, and without a leader attached.

Top shelf work on this one. Seems simple but it’s not. Must have skill

Very helpful and clear. Thank you for the insight!

I would say these are some hard rules to follow: 1) NEVER use new orders on turn 1. There are simply too many difficult to score turn 1 cards. 2) ONLY hold a card if you are 99% sure you can score it next turn. Even if it's like an 80% chance, just toss it for a new one. A lot of missions are pretty easy to deny when your opponent has an entire turn knowing what your mission is.

Always good content!!

Thanks, very helpful.

I am confused. Your advice to a new player is to go TACTICAL? As a moderately new player, I most definitely choose Fixed every time. I want to know what my goal is for the game, and not be subject to the luck of the draw. I honestly can't figure out how people play Tactical missions.

i keep listening to your videos for some reason, i may as well subscribe. i dont even play 40k

Pretty good🎉

Farseer skyrunners are golden for secondaries hehehe

Are a couple of Biovores and Ripper Swarms enough for securing those tactical objectives, or should i invest more heavily on units with deep-strike and infiltration?

Leaving message

I don't know man I think for games less than 2,000 points fix missions are better

wait, did I hear that right? You don't gain a cp if you discard the secondary at the end of the turn? Or did you just mean you can't if you have some other way of gaining cp, besides just for turn as normal?

Wait so if you play tactical you get cp for discarding mission cards?

Simply embrace getting raked by drawin' rando's, Chat.

Rng on top of rng on top of rng. Ill always go fixed regardless if it causes me to lose. At least that way i get rid of a source of feel bad I also prefer the secondaries being a part of list theory crafting. Makes everything more interesting imo

So I see it a when you do an action you can shoot first then have them do the action ? Based on rules as written and how eligible to shoot works

Does anyone know where in the rule book it explains secondary objectives?

You mention a few times "that can cycle that bad card through your hand more quickly" are you implying that card is available later in the game?

I don't understand diacarding- I thought it meant that when you did the objective then you got +1CP, buta it's more of a trade?

Where is the rule regarding Discarding Secondary Missions and getting CP back? My mate and I can't find it

Where are these missions and rules from?

So you lose VP discarding a mission but gain CP, is there no other way to gain CP?

Where is the "Discarding Secondary Missions" Rule?

Comment

Not being a tabletop player, I might not know what I'm talking about here, but why is scoring points on objectives a thing? If I took a Space Wolf company agains Orks, and I killed every enemy unit on the board by the end of top of the sixth turn, wouldn't I win? Well, according to the seemingly arbitrary objective rules, as I understand them, only if I scored more points by completing objectives during those six turns than my enemy. While I understand that objectives bring a measure of tactical play to a match, most of them don't seem to make much sense. If (in the example above) my opponent took a secondary objective that gave him points for killing characters, and he did kill my rune priest, and my tech marine, and he scored more points by holding point objectives on the field, but the battle ends with no Orks on the board, how can he have won? As far as I understand real warfare, you only win if you actually have people left to walk off the field when the battle is over. There may be some battles where completing a single objective, or a series of objectives, is enough to declare victory, even if all your units are killed afterward. Suicide missions are a thing in warfare, but in an open fight, where both sides are trying to dominate the field, anything less than driving every enemy unit from the field should be considered a draw at the most, regardless of points scored in objectives.

investigate signals is so dumb

Tacticals are better cuz u can get free cp

I dont like the name "Tactical" mission. It implies there is tactics behind drawing a random card and having to complete what it says.... Sometimes they are impossible or sometimes you get bring it down with a monster or vehicle stood right in front of you with 1 wound left. Again, nothing Tactical about scoring or not scoring in those situations, just luck.
