A 4th turn win for the bugs in points, 1820 to 1088. Matt, I'm assuming the Stormblades and Tank coy didn't rally because they weren't in the final picture. Is that right?

Wow - I got a 1522.5 points in minervans killed. Where did the extra 300 points come from?
Yes, the stormswords (not -blades) failed to rally.

Full points for a SHT, Tank coy, Mech Platoon, Salamanders and Hydra. Only the last two were destroyed, the others were below half and broken from what I could tell from the pic.

Plus half for a TBolt.

looks like a tough game. You're still not getting far out of your deployment zone thought Matt - are there any changes that you can make to get you a bit more mobile? For swarming horde armies it might be worth throwing your scout screens up front to slow them down, even if they get chewed up in the process, as that will at least allow your heavies and troops to move forward and dig in. I'd also take fewer air fms as you really need boots on the ground to counter these high activation 'nid swarms.
