wow, what a game! Was the co-ordinated assault on the Berzerkers by the 2 dropping swarms planned or a lucky accident? I think the Squats were punished for such a static game, though they did a lot better than I expected :)

It was planned after the first drop scattered too far to assault. I doubled it up and fired, then the second one came in and got a better scatter after Tim moved it away.

Hard to say from the pics but it seems like the Squats were spread awfully thin which doesn't seem possible in a 5000 point game. Which Squat list was this?

I sure can. I used the latest Thurgrim's list:

525 - Warrior Brotherhood + Living Ancestor + Exo Armor + Bezerkers upgrade
250 - Bezerker Brotherhood
250 - Grand Battery
300 - 2 Goliaths
700 - Land Train + Mortar Car + Bomb Car + Dragon Car + Bezerker Car (with Bezerker Brotherhood inside)
250 - Bikers Guild
250 - Robot Cohort
200 - Iron Eagle Squadron
325 - Hearthguard
405 - Bezerker Brotherhood + Bezerkers upgrade + Transport upgrade
350 - Trikers Guild + Trike upgrade + Bike upgrade
500 - Warrior Brotherhood + Warrior upgrade + Thunderer upgrade
450 - Colossus (not Leviathan as Dave says in Bat Rep)
200 - Overlord

It was a close game. I think Dave is right that he won by 800 points. I made a couple of stupid mistakes, like not having the Bezerkers jump out of the Land Train before being engaged and an overwatch oversight, which may have cost me the game. Overall, it was an enjoyable game.

This was my first game with the latest Thurgrim's list and my first game against Onachus. A couple of the unit stats need nerfing, but I like the direction Dave is going with Onachus.
