[Archive] How to aim the earthshaker

hobblin:

Aim for places where it won’t hit any enemys but will slow them down then bolt thrower them,if you actully scatter on somthing thats a bounus.There’s also the stop shooting tactic.Aim as before but near missle troops and war machines and hope your blast disables them but unlike befor don’t shoot bolt throwers there just shoot them at somthing big.

If you guys have any other tip’s post them here.

you actually have to have a unit to fire at, you cant pick out any old spot on the ground

ooo just noticed the date on the original post, my bad :(

Guess range weapons are tricky, one should practice guessing the length of everyday objects and bring around a tape measure to check your guesses.  You’ll be great in no time.

Knowing that your artillery is four inches from the table board and how far your opponents’ units have moved in the course of the game (as well as the table length) also is invaluable.

You only have to aim in the direction of an enemy model. If the missile don't reach it's not a prob :hat

AGPO:

I’m with Repone, its not the intention of the rule but using the earthshaker in that way would be a genuine battlefield tactic, so its a tactic rather than a loophole

earth shakers are my favorite thing about this army I can’t wait to play gun lines :slight_smile:
