7 units, guards, dense enough for the unit cards to stack on top of each other. Roughly less than 2 person's space between the 42 men. While suppressed, the guard blob still has sufficient damage output to force me to pull an Ostwind back from full health. (Around 1 quarter or more health gone I think)
Fine. Even I will concede that 7 inf units in one place can be said to be a "blob". I will even allow that this is a particularly useful example because it illustrates a blob handling two of its counters.
I'm also not going to challenge or question any of details of your account of the incident. My concern arises with the claim that events like this happen frequently enough that they constitute a problem.
Fundamentally, my scepticism derives from the fact that this doesn't seem to appear in competitive play. Or indeed, even in streamed or recorded play, as far as I am aware. Of all the stuff I've seen, I've never seen anything like this. Hell I've definitely never seen anyone field 7 guards at the same time.
And related to that is a second concern: if this is such an effective technique that it is reliably and frequently used, as you and many others appear to claim, how come we don't see it in those competitive events? If this works, if it wins games, why don't we see it when real money is on the line?
If this kind of thing is frequently and reliably happening, then I would agree that it is a problem. Convince me that it is frequent and reliable.
