Summary

 

Yeah, final I get to use Death Watch..The game was still interesting, even though we gather it was going to be a Death watch win..I did manage win all my engagements and had some luck with a Critical roll here or there..Although we were laughing, about one engagement, since manage to hit each other and then we both made all our armour saves..I won by a pip..….enjoyable game…
