CLWC don't bother coming back
I played Steve G and Dave with a terrible army I'd used twice before, I consider my one win a merit badge!
Game one, I made a dozy pre lunch mistake to go from a winning draw to a losing position (stayed static with a chimera unit on failing an activation rather than moving 5cm to deny tsnp). Dan my opponent didn't even notice but was very pleased when I pointed this out to him.
Game 2, well I lost game 1 but I should get an easier opponent now. No such luck Steve G with dark eldar who I'd never played before systematically took me apart with even more ease than he'd expect as my dice rebelled (with my reinforced armour supreme commander in cover getting killed by Steve's spaceship barrage in the first activation).
Game 3 well two straight losses, what's the worst that could happen, oh I'm playing Dave. Thankfully my dice came through for a crucial second turn activation and I was able to sneak a 2-0. Skitarii ap shooting is very potent against all LV armies and I was able to break down one of Dave's flanks and just about fend off the counter attack on the other.
All my opponents were great sports and my games were very, very different and enjoyable. Not sure if I'd use skitarii again in a hurry (maybe with Knights etc) as they are quite limited and don't suit my playing style so well. However, they were a great excuse to bring out all my squat toys!
