Knight World (NetEA v2.2 *UNDER DEVELOPMENT*)V’s Hive Fleet Onachus Tyranids (NetEA v10.2.1 *APPROVED*)

 

Well Fridays  again and as always we manage another game of EpicA. It was our standard game of 5000 points per side. This time it was Knight World (NetEA v2.2 *UNDER DEVELOPMENT*) V’s Hive Fleet Onachus Tyranids (NetEA v10.2.1 *APPROVED*).

So Trent (Birthday boy) was the Tyranid player. Britt and I were the Knights player….

Couple of pointers..

• River = low level stream and was counted as difficult terrain and was crossable anywhere along it…
• Corner deployment used…..

Summary

Ok, that's was another great game. We all had to laugh about half way though turn 4, since the Tyranids player forgot the two formations of Lictors again. . Such is life.

I’m still happy with the Knight list and look forward to it begin approved…..

May the dice roll high for you.
