Can anyone tell me what the point of Praetorian Snipers is? Are they just supposed to be a single AA shot? Cause no one I play against ever has infantry man the walls. Ended up with like six bases of them in a trade and I have no idea what to do with them.

Got one friend who's interested, but he wants to play a game first before buying. Thinking I'll buy a second and if he's down just sell him one of the armies

Yeah that's a decent plan. You gonna split the terrain with him too or just keep it yourself and have a massive potential board setup?

Yeah looks like they're generally meant to pick off infantry. Their advantage I guess is their Small Arms AA shot uses their full range, which is ok I guess.

They also get that penalty to be shot at, so I suppose it's less risky to man walls with them.

Maybe its like Battlefleet gothic?
Since its from the same writer, it will be similar.

I read somewhere, that the writer intends to undo flaws he made in battlefleet.
I played it, but besides fleets have many similarities and some vague rules writing, i never felt there was a big flaw.

Can someone name the biggest flaws or game faults you encountered in bfg?

Nope, I don't get it either. They aren't even a cheaper way of unlocking more Exotic slots for proper praetorians because wolverines cost the same (and can get away without a transport, and can actually spread your SOI/spot for IF stuff, and have better AA).

I'd counts-as them as praetorians myself.

Ships the size of planets

Its not the same author. Chambers helped on the stuff but its pretty much Dave work - the rules are similar (very much so) to DzC (almost no modifications to lock value, crit on +2 lock and so on) I think Chambers could be here for layers rules (I wonder if they even add anything significant to the game) and the bread and butter rules that we dont know ZIP about - so how dropping troops acctually works

Yeah blame designers for hobbist depictions - It's like saying that sheltari can blow out small ship from the existence but cant shoot down torpedo that is the size of the same ship ...

It's in the rules, dude.
