Biel-tan 4.2 and Salamanders (NetEA 2013) Take 2

Hi Everyone,

Well It Friday again and we manage yet another game of epic…So we switch back to Biel-tan 4.2 testing. The following will be tested..

1) In the Strategy Phase of any turn place the Avatar within 15cm of a unit with the Farsight ability , before making a strategy roll. The Avatar counts as its own formation and may only enter play in this manner. In the End Phase of that turn remove the Avatar before rallying formations. Once the Avatar has been removed it may not return.

Game 10

The game was 3000 points and was between Biel-tan 4.2 and Salamanders (NetEA Tournament Pack 2013)
