Summary
 
That was another fun and interesting game.. I manage to give a free point away in the BTS since I didn't keep it under the AA cover. I was lucky with both air assaults, it also so helps that the AA’s were having a cupper on the first one. The plan was to push down the left flank that the SM had left open basically and this worked...

The list feel right with the 1:2 ratio and is the best way for the future of the list.

The wraith blades are best suit in vampires or coming through a portal. Although lacking a FF limited their use.

The animated construct rule didn’t come into play again…I believe this is not need but, other may think differently..

The SPIRIT WRAITHLORD WARHOST can be fun to use and has wised investment in most games. Smile
