Summary
 
 Wow that was a bloody game..I need to get SR on turn 2, but I didn't..It came down to a Dice roll I guess, in that I need to activate my SoV and shoot the ARMOURED SUPPORT GROUP and pray that I broke the formation and when checking want was killed, the Tau Vior’la were in front(1463 to 1725)..So would have lost the game on count back..Bloody spaceship..
 
Thanks Mathew for another fun game..
 
Regards
Greg
