Summary

Blood bath I think the term is….I was only in front on activation count and that was it..If it had go to turn 4, I image the count would have been well in advance to the Legio Gryphonicus

Any ways this game was done to test to see how force would go with out the expert rider rule and the two points increase..Trent like Dan feels the smaller formation with out the expert rider rule, will have tough time and I agree with him..but it’s doable, we have one more game plan..I think we agree the points increase on the SRT and change to the Hornets are fine..
