Summary

 

Bloody game, by the end of Turn three all the BL had was 3 activations….As always you can Trent pulls a critical off when he needs them..

 

 

The WE3.8 list is one I enjoy using, but as always I haven’t manage to get there yet, since someone always manages to grab it first..

1) I feel the WE3.8 list is pretty stable at this point and I can see no glaring issues when facing it

2) I also feel the points cost are pretty spot on for the units in the list..

3) The 1:4 ratio is bit strange, but seams to work..Although we have not done any real stress testing yet…

Hope the dice roll high…
