    Summary

    Well I'm surprised I won..If it had gone to turn 4, I say the steel legion would have won on count back. I was already about 1200 points to his 450 points..

    I think the 30 cm range on the hornets, feels about right. It does force you move the formation more.So where's before you may have done a single move, you are now doing a double move..So a bit more though into its deployment etc. Although today that was not the case…
