Another great batrep Chroma.
And I hope your opponents paid special attention to your objective placements!! Against the Wraithgate the best plan is to put them right at the edge (as you did). You have demonstrated how devastating it can be to have the Wraithgate in the middle where units can engage directly from the webway. Eldar opponents take note.

Well, as this Eldar opponent once said to me, "You've taught me everything I know about Eldar... but you've obviously not taught me everything *you* know!" *laugh*

Chroma, lol. I think all gamers keep a few choice "tricks" up their sleeve.
I just noticed how the Wraithgate had a significantly lower impact in this game than in some of your previous batreps. In the game against Dobbsy's Tau it was horrendous for the Tau. I could see how even against the Nids it could be really powerful, with a Jet bike host popping out every turn to assault and support an assault.

Well, Eldar were my first real army in EPIC way back when... and they've been the one army I've consitently collected through all the editions... so, I know a lot of tricks... and, when facing them, how to *counter* a lot of tricks... but they definitely are one of my favourite armies, both to face and to field... always a challenge!

Well, technically, the game would've been exactly the same, regardless if with Stone option we'd've used... poor Eldar...
