    Rules clarification: There's a mistake in Turning Point 3 when a dash maneuver is performed after a charge. This is not normally allowed, which we're aware of, but neither one of us caught the mistake at the time.

Looks like DG can be a relatively good match up now for the Custodes but unlike the Custodes, the DG can't get away with mediocre rolling.

    Custode only had 1 armor save to make, due to AP2 on the plasma pistol. Custode was in cover, so the one roll is autopassed (no need to roll), blocking one normal hit.

    @@ghitapaints91 Hi Sebastian! This rule is a feature of Kill Team where the shooting process is very different from 40k. You don’t roll saves equal to the times you’ve been hit (that’s a 40k thing). The amount of dice you roll is equal to your defense value (which is normally 3 for a lot of models). In the example you reference, plasma weapons reduce this further because of their Armor Penetration rule (standard shots reduce the number of save dice by one, super charged shots reduce it by 2). Hope that helps!

In the games ive played the missions with the narrow deployment zones seem to be better for the dg as most of your movement is forward.
