Yesterday saw me posting up the first part of
the 750pt game I played Thursday night so today having sorted out some map
symbols and prepared the deployment map, read on to find out what happens
next.
Winning the roll off of deployment
I must confess that it didn't occur to me to let Dan choose table end and
set up first. so after much deliberation I don't think there was much in it I
opted to take the end without a big hill as I wanted cover early on and the
base of the hill was somewhat sparse.
we then proceeded to deploy objective markers starting
in the middle of the board and then when realising there was no space in no-man's-land
for more than two we then placed the remainder of our markers in our own
deployment zones, we then reveal the values.
Orks Opening thoughts
As Dan set up his Eldar I quickly type something up
not paying full attention to his deployment as I do.
I have a huge numbers advantage but a long slog
ahead. I honestly have no real idea of how to approach this game, there is
nothing I don’t want to try and kill early bar maybe the dire avengers as they
have a more limited range and can wait till turn two
As long as the Eldar don’t seize I think try and
hurt as much as I can asap and see what happens as the smoke clears in the lead
in to turn 2 maybe targeting the Bikes with the rokets before cover shenanigans
and the walkers with as many big shootas as I can while warbuggies head into
position to swing round the flank.
Eldar Opening Thoughts
Once deployed I got Dan to jot down his thoughts
before the roll to seize
That is a LOT of Orks. I’m boned.
The plan is to hang back, let the walkers do the
heavy lifting and focus each green-skin squad down as they roll forwards. The
spiders are teaming up with the bikes and are going to get behind them and pick
juicy targets. I’m suddenly less keen on this hill and suspect that sticking to
more traditional Eldar pursuits such as flower picking may have been wise.
Still to come
Dan fails to seize the initiative and we begin the game,
soon as I've got the turn maps ready I'll get the next stage typed up, just a
few Icons to work out and then get onto the maps and then it should be plain
sailing.
Still who do you think will win and by how much?
