Summary

 

Yeah, another fun game, although could say it was going pretty even till that big combat in turn 3, that swung it the BL way I believe..Two turn was us trying to kill the bloody BTS and not once managing to killing anything.. Oh the joys..OK IW..

 

DEFILER ASSAULT PACK: Ok 25 DEFILERS on the table was interesting…I will say some of Trent's dice didn't help, but over all I think they are the right points cost.Also I think they are fine as core choice. Thanks Steve, manage to track down that information..

Well I plan on taking the list out again to give the 25 DEFILERS another run…………..
