Two members of our games Club & myself played a trial game of Planetstrike today & found it raised a number of serious queries.
1) The rule on p11 states "once the defender--snip-- the attacker chooses which table edge is nearest his drop zone" However there is no instruction we could find to tell you how to choose your Drop Zone, how large it is/can be & how far from the Defender it must be. This raised a query from one of the boys, could he in fact deploy inside the Defenders deployment area without deep striking by coming in from a table edge that was inside of the Defenders area if it was close to the Drop Zone & on the Table edge closest to the Drop Zone .
2) Can you destroy the Aegis Defence lines by Shooting & if so what is their Armour Strength & how much would/could you destroy (Size of Template?, 1 section by single shot?, Firestorm etc?)
3) If you deep strike & straddle the Defence Line what would happen? Do you just land each side or take a Differcult/dangerious terrain test?
4) Do the Aegis Defence Lines cound as Difficult Terrain if you wish to cross them?
There were other anomalies but we just applied the normal 40K rule book rules although the Planetstrike book does not say to use them.
Look forward to your thoughts
