1. Blitz no no
2. Break their sprit no no
3. Defend the Flag Yes no

5. They Shall not Pass Yes no


Summary
 
That was fun…My dice were totally the flip side tonight.. talk about bloody extremes.. and yes all engagements were check twice before making the call who won…In saying that my plan was simple again, roll up a flank with the Two vampires and two SPIRIT WRAITHGUARD WARHOST and place the SS in protect spot till the foot sloggers were on the table..Ok the other stuff..
 
1) The wraithlords are well fun, although my opponent words were bloody scary…
 
2) The mix of WB/WG/WL in the formations, was interesting and gave greater flexibility…

Greg
