Well, my pictures are so scattered I don't really have any battle reports to write. I was constantly jumping between tables to take pictures of the games going on, so I'm just going to leave them all here.
We had five brave souls who came out. We were originally planning on eight, but two dropped at the last minute and one no-showed. We elected to play a three round "causal semi-tournament", with matchmaking more focused on playing against new people than standings.
Armies were:
Q - Scourge (Dessies in lights, lots of prowlers, double tank, double AA)
Joe - Scourge (Random hodgepodge of whatever he could find in my Scourge case+lots of basic boots in light dropships)
Kyle - UCM (Lots of boots in light dropships, Drone base, full nine-tank spearhead)
Steve - Shaltari (Eight walkers!)
Myself - My standard UCM

 |
| At first, you'd think this was a good position for the Desolator.... |
Looks great. No one took PHR then? any reason and how did the factions match up?
ReplyDeleteWe did not have anyone playing PHR - two of our three dropped players were planning on it though!
DeleteThere was a lot of Scourge victories all around. I don't think people have learned how scary Scrouge destroyers in the Intruders are yet.
