My lazy option is to take a picture of the whole table from above, then use the customization menu to set the photo as the background for the map. Even that takes ages, and often means its quite hard to read the map over all the detailed clutter!Kraken Wakeshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11675999641597167636noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-44067480658219618432018-10-26T11:11:14.512+01:002018-10-26T11:11:14.512+01:00Chris wanted to play on, honest!

I think I would have conceded around the time I was down by 20 VPs if I were running the Wolves.<br /><br />In the modified Maelstrom that's popular around here, you get to pull 8 cards out of the deck, and you can still freely discard them if they're impossible because of your Opponent's list, but not if they're impossible because of yours.WestRiderhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10221228665636182019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-17871008614903686892018-10-25T22:12:39.559+01:002018-10-25T22:12:39.559+01:00Haha, thanks!

As it was, I could deploy further forward and not have to worry about a first turn charge realistically.

I really think a SW player should have bought some fast Thunderwolf Cavalry and charged those Plasma Hellblasters ASAP, then given you something to worry about. Giving up cards to the opponent is a hard one, making the score seem a lot more one sided than it actually was.Siph_Horridushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07159625883822754521noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2668255476316917252.post-72549870109042966892018-10-25T17:07:37.279+01:002018-10-25T17:07:37.279+01:00Great report, and it was interesting to see the Wa...Great report, and it was interesting to see the Warfare mission in action.
