Both of you did well, even though I thought you had the game in the back after the bad scatter and your opponent seemingly holding back and just trying to avoid your units.<br /><br />The only thing I noticed what that in one of the middle turns I think you disembarked your scouts and afterwards moved more than 6"/turbo boosted, which I think is no allowed.Chrishttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08199583732490727488noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-68532900608007991772016-04-13T11:12:56.683+01:002016-04-13T11:12:56.683+01:00Yeah, the Centurions were definitely wasted in thi...Yeah, the Centurions were definitely wasted in this game. I was a bit hesitant about sending my Librarian and Command Squad after his Command Squad. If I didn't take them out in the shooting phase and psychic phase, the next combat phase would have most likely done them in.

It's a little unfair if you win a game based on your opponent not knowing every single rule in the game. <br /><br />I'm currently working on getting the scout bike squad painted for the tournament to replace the attack bike.

Granted there were subtle differences with how each of you pushed the army strengths, but I often find that these kind of games result in one of two extremes, either as you had here with a real tactical game of move and counter move and not much happening, or a complete bloodbath that ends with a tabling on turn 3.<br /><br />I think you fell for the bait of the command squad with the grav centurions, they're such a powerful unit it's easy to get tempted to see if they really can pull down a unit like that. Certainly the odds would suggest they should have done more damage but without a good counter unit so that you could use them as bait themselves I agree it was a bit of a mistake. Similarly the Storm Talon isn't best equipped to take down this type of unit. Psychic shriek was probably actually your best best, either that or just drowning them with all your units - the combination of centurions, command squad and 2 grav bike squads would likely have seen enough damage to cripple them. Then you can deal with the rest of the army at your leisure. As it was, I think you did really well to pull things in despite being pushed into the fringes of the table by the threat of that one squad. Just goes to show what an advantage going second really can be in this type of mission. Innes deployment would have been perfect if he'd been going second, but having to go first put him on the back foot and he did really well I think to put himself in a winning position on turn 6.Triple Dhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/18002702481127525157noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-24368859521010171392016-04-13T10:47:04.585+01:002016-04-13T10:47:04.585+01:00great report.
