The Imperial Fist game from last night. They definitely play different than your vanilla SM. Sorry for the pic quality, I forgot my SD card again and had to use the tablet.

So a very different game for my Marines. It affectively became about area denial with the the siege line and two tacs sitting in it. We both picked on the right and rolled on the left. I retained a lot solely to lay BMs on the IG, not to break them (I usually only retain if I can break something before it activates). I could have pushed for a win turn 3, but I didn't want to risk my Centurions after slogging all the way across the board. I played it safe and went to turn 4 instead.

IF won 2-0 in turn 4, Blitz and T&H
My reg hq fired upon (on an advance), then later engaged, the devastator centurions and inflicted a total of zero casualties. Even after winning the engagement. Dave's own mines beat that total. I think that kind of sums up the disparate armor save rolling in this game. *sigh*

Oh ya.

We called it after CP ran out of activations. I would have broken his Blitz guard by firing on him and gotten T&H and Blitz as he said.

I had some great armor saves this game, yes. MVP goes to the Scouts. They hung in there through lots of fire, got both my victory conditions, killed the arty/deathstrikes and even helped break the blitz guard with a single hit on a 6.
