I'd agree with rob, one of my fave reports of late :)<br /><br />One of my favourite moments in this report is you getting 54 shots for 1 casualty. As a fellow imperial guard player I feel your pain, truly I do. <br />Luke Darksun https://www.blogger.com/profile/14416275320673777382noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-9700999540694719302016-02-19T10:30:30.743+00:002016-02-19T10:30:30.743+00:00Another great report.
yet again maelstrom mission...Another great report.<br /><br />yet again maelstrom missions keep a game close and interesting until the end. 3 pts difference in 29 is pretty good.<br /><br />when i saw the list i thought that the orks would edge it due to being able to be on you in turn 2. i think (as with other reports with the marine bikers) was a bit too aggressive with his scout move. i appreciate he was also very unlucky with his break test and had that been passed it would have been a different story, but i think the damage had been done by then.<br /><br />don't be too harsh on your dice. 30 lasgun shots will normally only cause a 1-2W, but in typical guard style they should be executed for poor performance.toonboy78https://www.blogger.com/profile/06032744373751739974noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-38265505042601317602016-02-18T20:25:15.232+00:002016-02-18T20:25:15.232+00:00Cheers Rob, I hope I can make 50 before my one yea...Cheers Rob, I hope I can make 50 before my one year anniversary on the blog (or 52, one for each week!). <br /><br />I thought it would be a hard fought battle when I saw Seb's list. I just got lucky with the cards and getting the first turn. I wonder how it might have gone if he hadn't scouted the big bike mob.

Wow Mike!!). <br /><br />The bike list looks very solid especially for objective grabbing and I had predicted they would win at the outset, but you had some awesome rolling and those punisher cannons really live up to their name! <br /><br />Pask certainly seems to be a very solid HQ choice in the current IG codex.<br /><br />Awesome stuff all round man, very well played by both of you!Rob-not-stevehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13535589578326730130noreply@blogger.com
