251/16 HT Obosilete under new assualt rules

Mike, thanks for that.

So if the assault factor is still the primary factor, how are FT vehicles considered obsolete? Even with the introduction of morale checks in assaults, shouldn't we still see big SP losses from the defender in the 1st round of combat, making the 2nd round much more likely to succeed?

I believe one of the main issues of FT vehicles is their very short range coupled with low defense factors and high victory points.

How do you effectively deploy these vehicles to be more then "1-shot wonders?"

Many scenarios that I have played with FT vehicles - these units either get underutilized or I just remove them from the board to avoid the corresponding victory point loss.
