Summary
Interesting game..Both had a wonderful dice rolling, when doing activation.One of the advantages of Vassal, test list out. The Minervan Tank Legion is a list I have been wanting to try and it works OK. It would have been a different story, if Mathew had taken hammerheads with rail guys..
He was also trying out the Tau list, as its the next army he would like to build..So the list will evolve, as plays a few more game..I’m looking forward to it..
Thank you Mathew for the game….
Regards
Greg
