TURN #3 Summon Avatar, Eldar win Initiative

ATML concedes

Victory conditions: win for SIAM HANN by at least 2 victory conditions (Blitzkrieg, Break their Spirits, Take and Hold)

ATML Concedes with just the following forces:
*Reaver #1 – full shields and DC
Warhound #1 – 2 shield, 1 DC Broken
*Crusader Maniple – full strength
*Thunderbolt #1 – full strength
*Thunderbot #2 – 1 left
Warhound #2 – Destroyed
Reaver #2 – Broken, 1 shield
Reaver BTS - Destroyed

Siam Hann forces left:
*Wild Rider BTS – full strength
*Wild Rider #2 – half strength
Wild Rider SC – less then half strength, broken
*Shinning Spears – 6 left
Scout Troupe #1 – half strength, broken
Scout Troup #2 - Destroyed
Hornet #1 – half strength, broken
*Hornet #2 – half strength
*Avatar – not used, would have been used would have come in and destroyed 1 Reaver with supporting fire

It was determined that the Eldar could have broken the Warhound and the Crusader Maniple before they could act leaving just the Reaver to survive the turn and therefore not have a chance at any victory conditions by the end of Turn 3.

Thoughts from the Siam Hann perspective: a couple of minor tactical errors, biggest one being waiting on the Writhship till turn 2, should have been turn one for the ability to break or kill another titan in turn one versus turn two.

Thoughts on the Siam Hann list. Plays as I expected. High mobility with the Hit&Run tactic is very deadly. Good synergy between the list and this ability.

Thanks for the report. The S-H vs AMTL match up is rarely pretty for the AMTL, there are just too many knats for the titans to try and swot.

Post up your other reports even if you don't have photos. It still gives us something to compare and helps with understanding your thoughts.
