Summary

 

OK that didn't go well for the IW..at the end of turn two they had all the DEFILER ASSAULT PACKS broken and then they could not rally them..

 

Tested a couple of games with heavy DEFILER count in them..I think the 425 points is right.

 

 If time permit's, we may try and aim for another game or two with the IW..
