A consequence of Greys special playing ways is that you can't afford to do costly mistakes. Once a unit lose it's shield, a small breeze can kill him/it easily because they don't have armour. This is why you must plan about everything several turns in advance, or you are asking for trouble. And that trouble more often than not can be stopped only with one or two Sentries which only goal is to warn and delay about the attack.

I have a good example of this in the Malt tourney I'm playing right now. I deployed Machina and encountered Greys with a Saucer in a 30FP game. I got surprised and smashed to the left in the beginning of the game and I'm estimating my chances to win to be quite slim. However, my opponent left the right side completely open and I sneaked a few units there to flank them and fire at the Regen hided behind the bunker my MTs can't reach. Agressive scoutism gave me the info that it's the only regen of my opponent team, so if I manage to down the two Guardians shield and destroy the Regen then I will turn the game around and estimate my chances to win to be pretty high... All of this could have been prevented only by one or two Sentries sacrificied to delay my units a little (Machina units are pretty slow...).

That's a great example of what some Grey specialists mean by "play more agressively with Greys". Not really because you need to be so agressive that all your units are attacking and that you get to crush you opponent... But more agressive by taking the chance (or risk) to forward some units to make sure you cover all possibilities.

Even with the flank attack, I still estimate my chance of destroying the regen to be pretty slim tough. I would really need to ground shot some missiles next to the regen, but the stupid Grey "upgrade" which prevent players from plotting orders outside of the playing field prevent me to do that.

Important point: I was trying to do that with MTs...

Yes, I was trying to terrain fire... And it nearly costed me the game. A very lucky misfired missile ended up just where I needed it to go.

So, it's only unpossible to achieve with MTs? Why that? I find this very bad, it remove a lot of options to MTs firing at the edge of maps...
