Don't know if this is a discrepancy on the page itself or just wiki being wiki but under specifications it lists the drones speed as 52 mph/83 kph rather than 60 kph. Checking the link for where the specification data was culled from lists its speed as 37- 83 km/h...

Possibly but I figured it would fall under environmental hazards.

Actually its even worse than that. If the Imperials are relying on indirect bombardment as their primary line of defense, with everything else just being a delaying tactic, and are parking everything in the center of a giant square formation it wouldn't be hard to use a feint to force the Guard...

Since the question was pose, there's evidence Imperium based eye implants are no better, and in one officer's opinion somehow worse, than the good old Mark I eyeball. We even get a reference to him using the tank auspex which he wants to confirm with said visual view via a tank parascope. So...

Astartes would be interesting since they're supposed to fight more like the American brigade in the first with rapid thrusts. Not to mention the augmented, superhuman encased in power armor. And I'd agree in a "real" fight the use of drones would prove devastating to the IG along with American...

That's the sort of dishonesty that is making me tired of this. You made a claim simply to justify an outcome you find favorable. All I've asked is that you back it up. Show me a reference to a tank computer , a slide rule, anything to justify you asspulled claim a Leman Russ could crunch the...

The Imperials were on a hill moving downward to engage the local army without any particular indication of LoS issues but both sides waited until they seemingly were quite close to start blasting. Incidentally it's confirmed that the local forces are eye targeted the only explicit advantage the...

There is more to artillery than just a big gun and elevation. You have to detect that there's a target and be able to zero in on their position. You have to be able to calculate degree of fire as well as the drop rate of the shell to be able to aim it as well as adjust for any wind resistance...

The short answer seems to be it depends on the Regiment and the world they were raised from. The Imperial Guard codex itself states the following in regard to Chimeras On an earlier page, 15, it shows us an example of Regimental organization with the Cadian 24th Armored Regiment and the 180th...

I'm going to need a source that shows a Russ can target anything at 10 to 20 klicks. I find that unlikely. As outlined the detachment isn't interested in the Levees and aren't going to waste time energy assaulting their entire length spread across twenty plus kilometers. The attack will be...

That's completely fair. I mostly meant to refer to the fact that these are the troops the Imperium don't consider worth arming with the ubitiqious lasgun. In the end I don't think a Heavy Stubber or a squad grenade launcher is going to alter the parameters much. Maybe if each and every soldier...

I do not understand how a "Square" is unflankable. It should have a side unless the topography itself is only 30km wide with the rest of the terrain impassable. Could explain what you mean? The issue is more how well troops of this caliber with their equipment can slow an armored thrust across...

Well the easiest answer would be the wiki, the same place I linked previously concerning the Leman Russ's speed which gives a nice break down on the Leman Russ's basic stats. They obtained that from Imperial Armor Volume 1 which I currently do not posses. I do own the original Imperial Armor, no...

Why wouldn't it? The tank itself has armor thickness comparable to a King Tiger tank's with implications they employ an analogous Rolled Homogeneous Armor design akin to that era opposed to modern ones and appear to be designed as flat and boxy as humanly possible further limiting its...

If I was in the Brigade's position I'd likely use a small detachment to penetrate the slowly advancing 30 kilometer wide column using my superior speed and maneuverability to bypass and circumnavigate the Levee forces entirely. The detachment's directive would be to engage with Overwatch group...

I wouldn't expect the Imperial Vox units to have any particular problem. Hell with Combeads the Guard might have better direct communication than the Armored Brigade. I just don't think the Guard are organized in such as a way to exploit or utilize it. Their entire way of fighting seems...

There are thousands of lasguns and a little over five hundred vehicles, that doesn't strike me as being practical not to mention that still requires fuel so the total cost would be the same. As for the power plants, how many per regiment, what is there output and how much fuel do they consume?

Well them being equipped with energy weapons likely eases the logistical burden since they aren't carrying three hundred physical rounds but I'd still would want to drop with sufficient generators, storage batteries or Energon cubes so that each soldier could potentially fire that many shots...

Well for if we're doing Batchalls, not being the clanner, I believe there's nothing more honorable than victory. To that end I would attempt to achieve a 3 to 1 numerical advantage in an attempt to overwhelm my opponent. As such I would request the following: 15,000 IG troops for a combined...

I'd need to know what regiments am I drawing from? Are these all Cadian shocktroops with their integrated armor or is it a random grab bag where armor, infantry and artillery not only are they not organic to each other but may come from totally different planets/cultures. As well are these...
