Mail Bag Monday: Eldar City Fight?




Sorry for the second PM, but I have another request. I notice alot of your tactics assume a nice clear/semi-empty field. However, how would you play them in a cityfight type field with lots of dense terrain? Anything in particular that a Mech/Siam-Hann Eldar can do that others cannot? Perhaps even a video about this =3?
Thanks again!

My Reply:
I love city fight or boards with lots of terrain. If you watch my battle report vids most of the tables at club and comic shop where I play have half or less terrain. Part of this is because most of the guys like less terrain, and that we have to spread out what we have over 15 or so tables. Above is my set of city fight terrain that we use for themed events and I love it. Contrary to logical though mech eldar are even better in a city fight scenario. Yes, I wouldn’t drive my jetbikes and grav-tanks into a building or ruin and chance a dangerous terrain roll, but then again I don’t have to do that. Being jetbikes and skimmers I just fly right over them buildings to the other side. City fight increases the speed of my army even more since I fly over buildings and my opponents have to walk through them or drive their tanks through them. It is also great because it more often then not guarantees cover saves on my vehicles which gives my vypers a real boost.
