Summary

 

Ok, I asked Dan if he setup all the objective, why pop on the other. He explain I want you to think, I was coming on that flank. I said If you had and brought in two MONOLITH PHALANX too, it may have been a different game…I must say he had some pretty bad dice rolls..Losing to the scouts by 1 pip, was not the greatest moment or not make RA saves on a MONOLITH PHALANX..

 

Anyway chatted to Dan after the game about the Points increase on the scouts, hornets set at 5 and the Expert rider rule not been used..He was not to worried about the points increase, but the Expert rider rule not used with the smaller WILD RIDER CLAN WARHOST, may cause a issue..So we are planning a game with smaller formation and see how they go…
