Played a small solo game this afternoon. It’s experimental vs. experimental so not great for playtesting data, but then it was solo play anyway. However, I wanted to get a general feel for DC2 knights and I’d been meaning to give the new fist list a try for a while.
Summary: knights get boxed into a corner by speeders, fellblade gets to sustain on them for three turns while the knights slowly break out again to scrape a narrow win on turn 4 points.

warning, tense changes ahead, this is just notes of each activation rather than a write up
Table and deployment as pictured. Set terrain up then rolled dice to determine which sides. All terrain is area terrain.
terrain:
deployment:
Thunderfires garrison in the middle, two speeder formations run a scout screen line right across the table. One rough rider formation garrisons in the buildings on the right, the second elects for main deployment.
Knights deploy heavily on the right flank, away from the impassable area terrain (my mistake here, thought ruins were impassable to WE … )
all rally (vindi needing SC) and disengage
