No Devestators in the Strike Cruiser, for the extra "bombardment" (drop pod) and immediate retain to sustain fire at something?
No that's right... I had my plan and I was not using drop pods and I'm kind glad in a way, it would have been wiped out by the end of turn 1, for little gain in my books….

Could the Scorpion have done something else to stop the Marine win at that point, instead of suddenly gaining AA abilities?
All he had to do was double move it and it would have been in range to contest one of the objectives for DTF……

His batrep does reinforce that mic is a better elder player than me. Hahaha i doubt that he would have missed something as Sony as a 2-0 loss with 3 activations to go haha.
That was not my intention….Yeah, but if my battle plan includes a keg of beer for the Mic, then he would make the same mistake or pass out….so either way I win….

In my defence i plead stupidity your honors!
I thought it was all that beer you were drinking…..so the moral of the story is don’t drink and game at the same time…

This also demonstrates the problems faced by the air marines when their alpha strike fails, because the initial aim is to place BMs and especially to neutralise the AA in preparation for further air assaults. If this is prevented, this can leave the marines on the back foot and potentially out activated, making for a much more cagey game.
Very True...you are left with either shooting scout like I was since it was the safes place on the board or taking the risk and flying in(not recommend)…

I did something similar at the first tournament I went to. Prepped myself delightfully to utterly crush my opponent on turn 4. Didn't notice I had accidentally retreated from his table half in doing so.
When Jim did the engagement of the broken Deve with his SS, the smile on my face went from ear to ear...Just as well I was not in front of him; I would have started to do the happy dance as well...Once he started the assault of course...
