Sounds like a very interesting game. The eldar appear to have lost a couple of their own assaults - what happened there?

Well the first was a Wraith Guard Formation which got cross fired by obelisks, 2 necron warrior formations, and then a firefight by a 3rd Necron warrior formation, with support from the other 2 necron warrior formations. Wrecked my one warrior formation, but also wrecked the wraithguard. That was end of turn 3.

Then a second wraithguard formation which had already seen a lot of fighting tried to firefight the 2 warrior formations and a monolith formation in turn 4. Also didn't go well and they were wiped out after I got lucky with my saves. Lastly the guardians tried to assault a warrior formation, and frankly got a bit unlucky as their Wave Serpent shield died rather than soaking hits. In all cases BM were against the Eldar and I had Pariahs also. Basically I was able to concentrate all my warriors first against one Wraithguard formation I had been dodging and harrassing, and then against the other.

Interesting report thanks for sharing. I might have been a bit more cautious on turn 1 with all the expected teleports.

Thanks, sounds like fairly risky assaults.

Yeah I should mention he had firefight support from the Warlock (though only to 4 stands) in the second Wraithguard assault. Even this only managed to kill 2 or 3 of those stands though.
