Well despite the result .. I had a cracking game against Drax (Mark). We decided to go for my worst senario DoW and Seize ground with 5 objectives. We just decided to do it as I had a KP game and Pitched Battle last time which favoured me. I need hard practice for ToS and requested to do this.
The game was pretty even. I picked the wrong side as I wanted optimum position for my shiney new Lootas - but in doing that I skupperd my Kan deployent!!
Long story short I was beat really and should have lost - not because I played badly, but because I didnt think out my deployemnt properly. Drax is a good player and although he suffered a lot of bad luck (my Shokk attack gun took out Belial and his DS termie squad in one as I rolled a double 6 on strength and a hit on the scatter for one example!) the game was really tense.
So a draw but a clinging draw from my part.
Our ref ;)
Nice shot... sorry for unpainted dred which ruins it.... Notice the two Vindies in the background I hate them. As Drax deployed them separatley it split my army. I HATE vindies.
That table looks fantastic, really realistic!
ReplyDeleteA draw is not a loss, and yet there are things to be learnt no?

Its not a loss no, but a draw when you play orks is not a pleasant result. If I lost - which I should have had it not been for that cool roll on the shokk attack gun (rough with smooth - I have had some hideous rolls in the past that have lost me games!)
ReplyDeleteI dont know - Im not that competitive really but to me id rather lose or win than draw?
Anyone?
Well I put a draw in the lose category anyway... No prizes for joint second.
ReplyDeleteSo long as a lesson is there to be learnt.
The lesson is I need to make sure if I pick sides for deployment that I pick the side with the most room to get all my Kanz and boyz in. I need to practice more DoW as well as it really is hard to get right with my list.
ReplyDeleteyou also need to commit to an action and stick with it - you kept changing directions with at least one of your squads which meant you lost a whole turn or two that could have got you in to combat and away from the vindicator shots
ReplyDeleteYour right, BUT, what caused that was I was covering Belial not expecting my Shokk attack gun to take him and his squad clean out!
ReplyDeleteTo be fair - you placed the Vindies perfectly you stopped alot of covering fire being aimed at your troops from the Lootas and shokk attack gun and stopped me from making a full strenght attack on the objectives.
