We determined that Reaver B wasn't quite over the centerline giving Marines They Shall not Pass by a hair.
Marines win with BTS & TSNP, AMTL: BTS
Had the Reaver been over the centerline AMTL would have "won" the game by 25 points. Overall it was an extremely bloody game.
Thoughts:
Again, didn't feel that the PD was too strong. It contributed to killing the Preds, but I'm not really surprised 800 points could wipe out 250 in one go. Forge Knights felt about as they always do but I could accept it with them at 250. I'll post more if I can think of it.
This one was actually in vassel. My wife has occupied our table with a sewing project and I'd probably be killed if I tried to move it for a game.
