a very even game. I was not expecting it to end in the 3rd round. but since the BTS-lancers refused to rally i lost. My opponent was very calm and waited to the exact last moment to bring in the cavalery (or tactical dreadnought armours).

i enjoyed this alot. As usual i felt that an agressive playstyle is needed to be able to win with the knights. All formations felt good. Nothing struck me as under- or overpowered. Can't really add much new thoughts. i think this list is ready for approved!

Great report and love that raised battlefield concept too!

Thanks for the report. The Marine player showed some serious restraint, not sending in the Terminators until the final activations of the game.

And, the raised city looks really fun to play in.

Yeah, i asked him why he waited so long and he said that he wanted to make sure the lancers where as weakened as possible before assaulting them.

We both kinda agree that there was an inevitable showdown between the terminators and lancers. Kings of the assault action!

Hi thanks for the report. I'm interested in the terrain, we normally try to have some cover in the deployment zones and can you answer if the raised central terrain blocked line of sight or not.

Plus kudos to the marine player on holding back the terminators for so long.

Thanks for all the appreciation!

Yes the raised levels blocked LoS for everything. No unit could stand in their deployment zone and shoot direct fire at units in the other deployment zone.
