Review
I’ve
said it before, and I’ll say it again; I LOVE having access to the PHR command
deck. The amount of punishment they can dish out, just with cards, makes the
faction interesting to play. They pay for it with limited (and slow) Scouts and
Command units, but in the end I think the visceral power of the cards makes up
all the difference.
This
game was largely an experiment for my opponent, as he tried the arms race
against the PHR. The battle between our heavy hitters was truly awesome to
behold, and I only wish I had deployed my Odins there to help put down some of
that terrifying power. In the end, almost everything that engaged was reduced
to burning wreckage.
The
Hades once again showed off its stuff, and I’m reminded why I include one in
every list. That thing was in the heart of the armored inferno, and thanks to
command cards and his own healing abilities he came out completely free of
damage. Worse for the UCM, he slagged the vast majority of their armor that
went down. The ability to deny open areas is amazing, but you have to be very
careful about where and when you engage. If he can’t see, he is just too slow
to get there in time.
What do you think of the PHR approach? Let us know in the comments
