Victory Conditions


Victory Condition Legio Gryphonicus Biel-Tan Craftworld (4.2)
1. Blitz no no
2. Break their sprit no no
3. Defend the Flag no no
4. Take and Hold no no
5. They Shall not Pass Yes no

Summary

The HB’s did their job again. Although in the end I pull them out of range of the Warlord, so that my opponent didn't get BTS. 

The cobras again had some good shooting, and other times not. I did have a turn were they place BM’s and not much else, turn 2 were were one manage to do 4 DC against the REAVER. The MW4+ seams the right stat to have..

Next game, I intend to take the scorpion for a test drive and see how it goes with the increase range……

 
May the dice roll high for you

Greg
