This is the Tactics Page for Resistance

Why Play Resistance

• You like being the underdog
• You like hovercrafts
• You like Mad Max
• You like the humans in the Terminator and Matrix films
• You think that today's kids are soft and coddled by all that fancy technology

Special Abilities

• Hovercraft: Resistance have access to hovercraft-based vehicles which offer a number of useful abilities:
  • All hovercraft ignore the Aerial Advantage rule, allowing them to move on to the board from the first turn as though they were aircraft.
  • When disembarking from a hovercraft transport, their contents suffer a reduced penalty to accuracy and are able to fire at aircraft on the same turn, as well as having a slightly longer disembark range.
  • In terms of stats, hovercraft are treated as skimmers with more DP but lower E than is typical. They have exceptionally high movement and are reasonably well-armed.

Hovercraft transports are iconic to the Resistance and significantly change the way that some units can be used. They are not true aircraft and so they don't have to land to deploy units, allowing you to reach well up the board when you disembark. They are tough enough that they are immune to most conventional AA guns, requiring AT guns in large numbers to overwhelm their DP and E bonuses. They provide their contents with a relatively durable ride, a long threat range, and the ability to drop and pop effectively, making them excellent for enabling alpha strikes even against faster enemies. The Circe and Hydra benefit from a Move and M&F that is more like an aircraft than a tank, and don't incur any wasted cost from transportation or loss of firepower following a disembark.
