Summary

 

Thanks for the fun game Mathew…The white scar list is not one you will see at a comp, but it makes for interesting game..

I was lucky in getting first turn and then having the Orbital barrage do some damage…and then follow it up with some nice Assaults…

May the dice roll high for you…
