Summary
 
Very interesting game if not bloody..SM had lost both Warhounds formations and scout formation that was of little use…The same could not be said about the HGM, by the end of turn 2, I had no leaders on the table..He would do enough hits and I would fail the bloody armour saves… Smile 

I still find the list a challenge to play as pure HGM..so may start taking it with allies and see if there difference.... Smile

Greg
