The attacker can't buy another turn. Defender turn 5. Nothing Moves. The 3 Predators all fail to hurt the Dreadnought and the last remaining guy with the Lascannon missed. True the game ends. So all in all its a very good game. Only one question really came up. If you have a unit on an objective in his control zone and the unit is wiped out but no one around do you keep that zone. I think it says you do. Other than that its starts of very well for the defender you just keep pummelling away, but when key units slowly get whittled down it takes it toll. This is damn good fun being the attacker you feel like an ig commander just throwing troops in to get what you want. I loved it. Z6, Z5 and Z4 are the defenders at the end. No scoring units near any of those objectives other than 4. So I believe they are controlled by the defender. Because the Second objective was captured Z3 became no man's land. So the the attacker has Z1 and Z2 meaning the defended wins by 1. Amazingly. Just for a laugh. Even though the points were not even. The defenders did 810pts of damage to a 945pt list. The defender were left with 3 predator tanks and 1 man. Painful mission. So when we play the big game Saturday. Me and Andy will start well then we get overrun I kinda look forward to it. Ha-ha I should be a games tester. Oh Kev another thing 4 turns may kill of a game if the attacker doesn't get there. |

Sounds like it was quite a close run test game, am looking forward to it next week, the mission should really reflect our armies, the tyranids an unrelenting tide against the imperial guard and astartes refusing to give an inch of ground |

Even though I was playing solo, there were points in the test that I thought oh god here they come again. I do defence well so it suited me. It may be why the attacker didn't win the test. Also I was using Vanilla Marines. So sides were even and I knew every weaon to use at the right time. The shifting tides rule was awesome. Range becomes less of an issue when the atacker gets more ground. I look forward to it. My list is very much defence line. I'll post it up in a mo. Don't worry James I didn't spam Whirlwindwinds. Though am taking Cassius hes a tough old boot who deosn't like nids. |
