my thoughts:

well, the SL list had very few activations because of the reaver. It also had no air units and very little ground AA (2 hydras). This time i concentrated on killing of smaller units and ignoring the reraver.

The Knight BTS is almost always a very aggresive unit so they are always in danger. The Baron really leads from the front so to speak. I have started to count on giving uo the BTS objective to my opponent because of this.
Castellans are a really good firepower boost. This list was a good mix of engagment prepping units (artillery and thunderbolts) and then lots of engage-monsters (paladins, errants and lancers).

I was lucky to be able to win turn 2 initiative so i could assault the SL player and avoid being assaulted. That kinda sealed the game i think.

What happened in the last turn with the Vultures? They rallied and then didn't seem to activate.

It was broken by artillery before it could activate. At least that's what's on the report.

Isn't Steel Legion a low activation army?? 8 is low but not far from the usual 3 activations per 1000 pts for the IG.
