End of game

Remaining forces: RG Gunless rhino, DP, 1 ASM, 2 scouts and 10 man scout squad

BA LR

 

RG win 8 KPs to 7

 

If the LR had killed the Rhino and last ASM I would have won 9-8, but I got torn apart in CC so I think my opponent was the deserved victor. My huge mistake was dropping Dante and HG into the middle of the enemy, forgetting they couldn't assault (I've never used DS for ASMs before). The VAS did a nice job on the Vindicator which single handedly blew me away last game. Mephy could have saved me but I refused to let him cower in cover after he murdered the command squad and he got hosed down by the entire RG army.

 

C&C welcome ;)

Close game. Ravenguard are pretty kick ass.

My only criticism would be the points level. 2050? odd.

Oh and you should have dropped Dante and his assault squad next to that vindi and blown it up, using your Vanguard squad to HI into something squishy. Using them to assault vehicles is not the best use of their points.

Cool batrep!

The VV were going to HI into his 10 man ASMs but landed a few inches too far away, so the Vindi was the alternative option. Landing Dante next to the Vindi would have been the better option as you point out :P

I must say my favorite moment was Raven Guard turn 3, where basically the entire army forms a firing squad and guns down Mephiston because it takes an entire army's firepower to take him down. Hilarity.

 

Sigged :P
