The Plan
- Siam-Hann: The plan was to hold something back on the bases line and wait for the air assault. Once that was over with, then push forward and claim Take and hold goal, while keeping my side of the table free of the white scar formations. Yeah sounds simple..
- White Scars: Well the recon from the Imperial white scar palace was running late or the scout had gotten lost, getting back to Siam Hann HQ…..

Summary
Another interesting game. The plan did work to a degree, but yeah it was touch and go. I think may have been a different story if the white scars had Bomber squads.
List build was to test the Hornets and VAMPIRE HUNTERS and the small size WILD RIDER CLAN WARHOST formation. Although I would use the mediums size, since it give you move staying power, not to say that the small size formation doesn't have a place. I’m still looking at the price of the Hornet though..As for the VAMPIRE HUNTER, I’m pretty happy with price and stat wise…
May the dice roll high
Regards
Greg
