Erm... Only allowed one quad gun per objective. Either you've been doing it "off-kilter" or you've got 50 objectives, which means he's got 50+d6 firestorms.... Yikes

RT means to use small (not the Skyshield, in particular) buildings in the game, and use those as objectives. Basically make the smallest possible pieces of terrain count as the objectives. And covering the board with craters/ruins is highly called for, since the defender is the one who sets up what the attacker is charging into. It doesn't have to be a "friendly" board for the attacker. Thank you for the clarification, Taureus. Pray note that while in Planetstrike you must use terrain pieces as objectives, you do not have to occupy them. This is why I reccomend against the use of bastions, as bastions are always objectives. |

Or you could be just as devious as me in my last PS game. I have about six Teenzy weenzy little infantry bases covered in flowers as terrain pieces. They were all of the objectives. Then I proceeded to park tanks on top of them ;D I can be so mean  |

Tanks die incredibly fast if left on the board in Planetstrike, simply due to the fact fire and destruction is being rained from the skies. I've already stated what you do with them - you leave them in reserve, and come in on turn one, blasting apart everything that's landed in nice, tight formations. |

Oh I didn't start them on the board no. God no. I held them in reserve then when all his AT units were deployed I zoomed them out on top of the objectives so he couldn't touch them even if the vehicle was wrecked.

Oh, I see. You do realise you can still move over destroyed vehicles? They just count as difficult terrain.

I see his point though. If the wreckage is there over the top of the objective then the enemy can't touch it.
A little grey for even me.

I can't. It's both cheesy and wrong - in no way does it say wrecks do anything other than count as difficult terrain. If it had been me, I would have claimed the objective anyway.
And besides, since objectives have to be buildings, how do you cover them with vehicles?

INcorrect RT objectives do not have to be buildings. In fact, in one game I played in the objective was a table quarter. Try defending against that one.
An Objective is something you and the other player agree will be an objective.
A Comms relay, a Bastion, A hill, something that the enemy needs in order to gain the stategic upper hand for the next phase of their attack.
I'd just not play with someone who uses a 25mm base as an objective.

No, Staff - in the planetstrike book it specifically states you must use terrain pieces as objectives.

I'll have to look at that again.
I'm going to blame the regional manager on this. He insisted anything could be an objective.
Then again this is the same guy who said he could over rule any rulings by the rules boyz...
One Strategem that I would highly suggest is dawn assault.
If you read the rules on it (again the manager over ruled the RAW) it states on a roll of 4 the sun rises.

Hey, you think that's bad - we played a Planetstrike campaign, and our manager let the attacking team have 3,000 points more than our team, plus, he refused to let us set up the boards, but set them up himself, which failed so grotesquely as the boards were not set up in the correct, beardy-as-hell fashion.

I would have slapped that man.
Or at least refused to play him anyway. Hell, offense has a lot more FoC choicse to begin with... they could have eighteen hellhounds for example....
Or worse, eighteen valks/gunships...

Slapping the store manager would be a most unwise decision, mainly because he is a very short man, and I am very, very tall. Assault charges would be forthcoming. So, to summarise, we got mincemeated in every battle (I was the defence team leader) and I sulked for a week afterwards.

True I suppose. I doubt I'd actually punch him anyway...
I would, however, make every single effort to point out how stupid he and his rules are, and point out that the enemy team didn't actually win through any particular talent, thereby guilting them into playing by normal rules. Although I dunno how successful I am, I'm not too good a manipulator (I'm far too aggressive for that, rather than being a [bleep]tard IE passive-aggressive).

I don't have to worry about it anymmore. Regional manager got Fired on Monday. I wasn't able to report back here about it because I was at my Army Physical. (Passed with flying colors see more details in the underhive).

RT as I said I would look back into it. You are correct in that indeed the book is specific in saying terrain peice, but then also goes on to indicate that the terrain pieces can be rather small with examples of the quad guns, and communication arrays.
Objective markers such as what people have used in regular games are not allowed so parking on them isn't a tactic that can be used.
The book is also pretty specific in stating that any destroyed objective should be given a crater and it is "STILL" an objective unless destroyed by the meteor strike.
I'm going to get into another game shortly will have to see how it goes.
