Hi all,
I'm wondering if anyone can offer some tips for defending against a potential/impending Banzai charge. In a recent playing of Totsugeki!, my opponent unleashed a devastating charge - involving all but two of his squads, as well as two leaders, and added injury to insult by creating a DC hero in the midst of his charge and completely wiping out my MMG nest as well as breaking or eliminating quite a few other units either during the Banzai charge (some of whom CRd themselves in FPF with a boxcar on the IFT roll) or in the ensuing CC... Meanwhile, he didn't lose a single unit (I think he had only one failed MC, despite NUMEROUS 6-12 FP shots, including two from my 75 gun and lots of 6FP residual).
After this massive attack, I was left with only a handful of units, all but a couple of which were broken. In pondering what I could have done differently to avoid such a fate, the only thing I came up with was to avoid stacking, which is fairly obvious (the one big stack I did have was mostly due to a need to gather some previously broken units together for a rally attempt).
It seems challenging to balance the need to have some forward defense with the desire to spread out and avoid providing too many concentrated Banzai targets. Anyway, I'd appreciate any advice from those more experienced with dealing with this challenge!
Thanks,
Scott
