Prep – Ben Garbutt won strategy rolls off. He places objectives close together on my side hoping for a titan to hold both, Blitz close as possible to me.
I placed my blitz direct opposite his, trying to tempt a titan out of position and my other 2 far right once again trying to spread his limited resources.
Ben Took Corners, kept his titan tight packed close as they can be to me
I spread out my Stompas on the right and boys on the left
Great Gargant 7 Shields, Gargant 1 6 Shields, Gargant2 4 Shields
