Oh yeah, slight correction on the KP's: realised I got 7 off you after I wrote the recap doh

(dire avengers, bike unit, far seer, guardians, fire dragons, wraithlord and avatar, think that's right yeah?)

Yep, that's right - my brain clearly wasn't working on monday evening!

I must admit I was amazed it ended in a draw, I thought you were hammering me! One reason I really like scenarios in 40k is that there is always something else to play for if you feel that the matchup is tough. After a bit of bad luck to start with (losing the wraithlord T1 to some teslas!) I got very lucky that the all important 'can we stop now please' roll went my way 

I did feel the power of the new books over the old. I don't think Eldar need much of a boost to be honest, just the odd newer rules that they lack like Eternal Warrior on the big guys and ways to deal with night fighting...!

I must admit I was amazed it ended in a draw, I thought you were hammering me!

To be honest, with two units of bikes and the mission at hand, I thought it would prove very hard to get a win. I had 1 unit I could reliably get into your deployment zone quickly, so i put alot of effort into trying to march my slow footcron troops across that left flank!  They need a cybernetic fleet upgrade and then they would be great!!! 

You did the right thing by taking out my douche canoe lord with those fire dragons, since I didn't want to risk having my teleporting unit not in your zone, so he was the only thing that could really catch up to your bikes and smack them.

Me vs hale, half hour game. Kill points, I lost 11-1

[Tom Hale]

Yes our game did turn into something of a bug shoot, with anything getting to my lines getting hammered for it's trouble. Seriously dude: swarmlord by himself wandering in front of my whole army!! Why?!?

Also played jack, kill points as well. I won 8-2.

...and once again I refer you to my ealrier statement of, "nothing you can saaaaaaaaayyyyyyyyyy" 

[Tom Hale]

Played sasha's Necrons at recon. I deepstruck into his deployment zone then cowered from wraiths and game ended t5 before his troops finished walking into mine. kPs were 2 for me and 4 for him

I also understand that Peter can't commit to rest of the campaign do is bowing out so I pick up a 4th win

[milodotnet]

Really great game against toms douche hammer wing - he got me on the main mission after deepstriking into my zone for recon and then back pedalling into the corner, but I did get 4 out of his 9 kp to 2 of mine so at least some terminators paid in the end! Well played Tom. I'll give some more highlights later.

[fatolaf]

So group one is finished, with Tom the winner of the group and Sasa and Jack on exactly the same points and kill points..
We will decide the next stage after Stevo's game with Sasha on Monday, which will decide that group and determine if his game vs Steven even needs to be played...
