Summary

 

Dan plan was simple.. Targe SoV in first artillery wave..Over all the dice swung from one side to the other through out the turns…There was no much left on my Left flank, since it was all over in the right flank trying to rally or push up the flank to capture objective markers..

 

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..Dan feels the smaller formation with out the expert rider rule, will have tough time and I agree with him..but it doable..I think we agree the points increase on the SRT and change to the Hornets are fine..
