Summary
 
That was fun…Ok now onto the other things..
 
1) The smaller formations do allow for better build options..
 
2) Wraithblade, to early to tell. like another couple of games..
 
Both side made tactical errors. Not winning the strategy roll on turn two didn't help me much. The other things is my Dice work fine for Trent, talk about making armour saves and hits..Anyways I plan on taking the list on another test soon…
