Summary

 

Well by the end of turn 2, we discuss the game and both agreed that the Legio Gryphonicus would win. It was strange game since, I knew he would take Iron hands, but was expecting the massive drop of Dreadnought Talons, but no he decided to only take two..and not drop them in. He was also surprised since I took Atml, and he was expecting hordes of Av’s etc..

 

Anyways may the dice roll high for you..
