Summary

We called at the end of turn three, I was about 16 points and Trent was 34 points. I had little chance of getting that much of a swing in Turn 4..One flank of mine was gone basically and my assault marines were going to have to chew through pile stuff to claim another objective..

Over all the game was really fun and enjoyable, and there were lot moments were you were bloody cursing, since the dice would not be kind..

I know we made mistakes, since it was the first game getting use to new order system..and reading the rules as we go so to speak..So the game took a while..

 

I’m sorry we just have pictures and little notes, but it’s a rough report..I need to figure how I want to do theses reports since there’s more involved, in a turn, due want orders you take and when that order happens..

Regards
