CONCLUSION

We didn't have more time to spend on this game so the Speed freeks gave away the victory by attempting to win in turn 3 rather than just play it safe and take it to turn 4 and a probably victory so the win was kind of hollow but still a win! :)
The game was fun with a lot of bloodshed and felt like it could go ether way (when the first storm serpent was shot down I felt like I had already lost and when I managed to whipe out the Gunfortress Mob the Ork didn't look too happy)

Two Firestorms against 14 or something Fighta Bommers is way to little :) We do not know what the other guy is bringing when we write our lists so it was kind of hard to anticipate... Fightas is really good value for the money, they hit OK and is a cheap activation.

I started with way too many units in the webb. A lot of points just sitting there for a turn or two, next time I will probably restrict it to 3 formations tops.

Loosing all initiatives messed up a lot for me. Instead of firefighting with the Wraithguards and killing Kults the were in CC and war killed. Didn't roll too good on the saves but neither did the ork...

Compared to normal Eldar the Iyanden doesn't out activate the opponent as easily so you need to be extra careful. In this battle I wanted to wait until the Speed Freeks moved forward until I assaulted but as he had 4 units of Fightas it wasn't possible...

Anyway it was a fun and exciting game, thanks Mordoten :)
