What does " Vect " mean ?

[sath]

As the thread indicates, I was wondering what Vect means in terms of tactics. I've heard this term being used before, just don't know what the players mean. Cheers

Agent's of Vect is a dark eldar stratagem, the first of its kind, that allows the cancellation of your opponents stratagem. GSC have an equivalent in A Plan Generations in the Making so people will often just short hand that concept as Vect. I prefer to call in Generations but it is something that if you say it referencing our strat almost every opponent will understand what is happening.

It is a very unique effect. In 8th GSC,(GSC guard), Nids and all shades of eldar could ally inn the effect.

Certain builds* in 8th edition where build around a spesefic stratagems. Death guards who forced you to kill a bunch of zombies for instance. Countering those stratagems literally ment is was a hard counter metaphorically

*By build I mean established lists that showed up in a tournament setting, with small variations around a core consept. Knights, with loyal 32 imperial guard and bloodangel smashcaptains in the same list for instance. May they hopefully rest in piece.
