Summary

 

Trent realised after the game, he had miscounted the points. I said that's fine.Basically he should not have had the CRUSADER SCOUT MANIPLE. Oh the joys of been human..Any ways, I don't think it made a hell of difference to the game..As it was he had ten activations with the above and I had 8.

Trent could have deployed better and gave, his BTS better support, but had place two Warhounds out of range, near it..So allowed the first turn Teleport and the BTS goal in the same turn..

On to other things..

Warlord Hull cost reduced to 675 points: Well this was not tested in this game..
Reaver Hull cost reduced to 550 points: The 25 points feels about right, but more testing is needed..
Skitarii corvus restriction removed: I like this, it allows the good of foot troop to brought and not cut the Titans fire power, since it’s not carrying the Corvus Assault Pod around..
Skitarii cost increased to 250 points: I’m unsure that these guys need a points increase, but more testing may say other wise..
Carapace Multi-lasers reduced to 25 points: This didn't get test either..

Till next time……
