Ignore the forum and look at the stats in the book. Nearly all the UCM stuff is Armour 10 and has high powered weaponry. The PHR have Armour 8 on average and only have one E11 weapon in the starter force. So I can hit him but only damage on a 5+. Rest of my units cant touch the UCM so are redundant really.

Well Martin and I played a thoroughly good game last night with the starter armies to celebrate his birthday. The dice didnt roll his way as he never got initiative until late in the game and I had some very lucky rolling. My plan worked well to take on his heavily armoured/gunned UCM, I snatched a quick objective whilst my Ares walkers jumped around from their dropship in a hit a run routine making them very hard to catch out and my Phobos AA took care of all 3 of his dropships . Our Infantry came to a gunfight in the open as I ran away from him but again his dice failed and he inflicted no wounds with over 18 dice including his Bear APCs and I in return wiped out both of his infantry Units. The game ended with one objective to me off the table and the other two in my troops possession as again Martin had found the two possible objectives, how unlucky can you get. Still it proved that with some careful though you can beat the UCM if the dice roll your way.

Despite miserable luck with my dice and poor choice of objectives to go for, the game flowed very smoothly and was great fun! (winning isn't everything!) Good company (& cake!) more than compensated for the crushing defeat! ;D Which is exactly how a friendly gaming evening SHOULD be!

Took on Jons Scourge tonite. we played around 1200 points a side and ran the Encroachment scenario. Good fun and a great scenario to run for two player games. No objectives to grab just a land grab situation added to the usual points for destroying enemy units. Jon got his butt royally handed to him by my PHR LOL. We had everything going on with Air attacks, Interceptors, CQB etc. A good evenings gaming.

It was an excellent game, very bad dice roll. I successfully rolled more 1's in that game of DZC then in my entire time gaming lol! Very well deserved win Steve

Aye I powered on to a 1000 points, then not really looked at the new releases. Didn't seem much point when we're hardly touching it currently.
Won't be selling it off though, I love the models.

Yeah nice models and quite a good game. It has gone on the back burner for a while but I think will surface again in the near future.

Well it looks like i'm keeping the scourge and doing two armies, last communique from Martin he said he doesn't want his any more, though I've not heard from him for around three months now.
Still waiting on my first game though.

This one is in the back room at the moment for me. To be honest I haven't really had any time for gaming since the move and I have unpainted stuff too !!!

Well I officially have Martins half of the starter set now. He's removed me on facebook and ignored all my texts for close to a year now so that's a pretty clear "Bugger off and leave me alone" lol. So I now have roughly 500 points of Scourge, around 1200 points of UCM, and I'm still waiting to play my first game.
