Marines Tbolt B: go on cap
AMTL Tbolt A: stands down, clears BM
Marine Speeders 01: advance to T&H obj2
AMTL Warlord 1: advances, fires on speeders 01, 4 hits with Laser Blaster, no saves. Speeders 01 is wiped out.
Marines Speeders 2: activate and advances to reclaim obj02.
AMTL TBolt B: stand down

With no more activations to shift the Marines off either T&H objective, the game is called.
Marines win 2/0 (T&H BTS)

Thoughts:
This was a different list for me. I wanted to see how a three Warlord list would handle and I'd banked on them being able to shrug off most of the firepower thrown at them. It almost worked, except for the amazingly poor performance on saving throws. I feel hadn't lost the warlord t3 I'd have had a chance of snagging BTS at least.

CLP and quakes actually felt fairly weak, but that's likely due to the impressive failure to hit anything. I felt I'd have been better with a different load out on the warlords. The Plasma Destructor felt fine. It hit hard one turn but that was it.

Thanks for the report. Were you playing short edge to short edge?

Yeah, the game was short edge to short edge. We've always allowed it as an option along with corners and long edges.

So houseruling certain things is okay for providing battlereports?

Depends on what it is. I believe Onyx's group has some house rules for LOS (I'm sure someone can correct me if I'm wrong but I think it's TLOS) and I haven't heard of any batreps being rejected though I could be wrong. In the report above, it could have just as easily been corners deployment and wouldn't have changed a thing about the way the battle played out. In the end, it's up to the ERC to say if it's too much.
