Biel-Tan Craftworld (NetEA 4.2) Vs.Steel Legion (v2014)

 

Well it Friday again and we manage another epic game…

So 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.

2) Swords of Vaul: Replace any number of Falcons with an equal number of Fire prisms for free.
3) Engine of Vaul: The second engine cost is now 200 points

Game 18

The game was 3000 points and was between Biel-Tan Craftworld (NetEA 4.2) played by me Vs. Steel Legion (v2014) played by Britt.

Summary

Well that was very interesting game. Thanks to Britt, for sticking at it.. I think if he had manage to rally the Tank Company and the Shadowsword at the end of the third turn. Then I would have been very, very hard press to hold that flank. Anyways till next time.

1) SoV-  This was not used at all in this game.

2) Warlock and farsight- This was not used at all in this game.

3) EoV-  Ok I still believe the “The second engine cost is now 200 points ”. is the right way to go.

Regards

Greg
