End of Game thoughts:
Holy crap I got my ass kicked! I think the big deal with this game was that I could not for the life of me pop transports. And because I was running a 6 dread list I didn’t really have the bodies to have real crowd control.
Bryce played very well and I just got stomped. Plus I hate his lord, he makes me want to kick babies!
That 3rd drop dread was supposed to come in automatically turn 5, but it didn't really matter much any more.
ReplyDeleteOver all, the jack had the firepower but it just didn't connect or do much.
I need to work on deployment, I had put my long fangs too far back to really do much, I guess I should have known that Jack was was going to make me come to him under fire.
I'm not very good with a spear head deployment, it' something I need to work on in my game. I could have overlapped fields of fire more, and not been so gung ho with my rhinos being as far forward as they can be.
The cavalry are the killers in this list, they need to be up from, the grey hunters in rhinos are a swiss army knife of versatility. Scoring, mobile, 2 melta shots for one turn and a power fist along with all the attacks. They can do a little bit of everything from up close.
The long fangs needed to be deployed much better, and I didn't have to be so aggressive with the rhinos. They could have come out from the sides of the spearhead box with their speed, the flat out cross country speed is not matched by anything else in the army. I gave up a few good rounds of anti tank fire for rhinos that really didn't do all that much without objectives to go after.
The cavalry units really just ate everything. They can get bogged down as evidenced by the battle leader.
