I've been reading a lot of Raven Guard tactical articles recently, and kept wondering why the Vanguard were shooting, because my brain was stuck on Vanguard Veterans.<br /><br />And then you can end up with stuff like "Then the Vanguard fired on the Vanguard and tried to Charge the Vanguard, but failed, and got Charged by the Vanguard in turn." You did a good job of avoiding it, but I've run into it a few times.WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877289116827690457noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-24006737321168257402016-02-11T01:52:19.156+00:002016-02-11T01:52:19.156+00:00I found an Auto-Level feature on my image editor t...I found an Auto-Level feature on my image editor that really helped a bunch with my stuff.

The small screen doesn't help when targeting, either.

I take them on my mobile and it is not the most ideal thing to use (the flash was on when I took the pictures, but it did not help too much).

It's hard to make out the details (and I'd like to have a closer look at your nicely painted White Scars).

I though I was safe in this instance, but I guess not. I was just lucky that the Knight did not wipe out the whole squad and I was able to Hit and Run out of combat. <br /><br />I would be interesting to see how the game would have gone on. Would we have been able to table them or would they table us?Mike (Didcot Wargames Club)https://www.blogger.com/profile/04136576868354842829noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-38105213837285319572016-02-10T09:45:24.892+00:002016-02-10T09:45:24.892+00:00Scout can be dangerous to have.

You were still pretty solidly in it until they got that big score on Turn 3, tho.WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12877289116827690457noreply@blogger.com
