markham82 Posted July 16, 2014 Share Posted July 16, 2014 Thank you very much for the batrep. Do you think holding your forces back turn one and unleashing them turn two could have helped?

Polythemus Posted July 16, 2014 Author Share Posted July 16, 2014 I think what hurt me the most was a couple things 1.) Lack of familiarity with the opponent and his capabilities. That list was extremely fast and though I knew that going in, I didn't really know that his entire army had shrouding. Since he had so many demons i thought they were all from the same codex, but some were from the CSM codex which i can get preferred enemy against. 2.) The other problem was as you said i got too close. I should have kept the command squad back and tried to get the attack squads to fire at range. We rolled night fight after I had already moved. So at that point I knew that I would have to survive his counter charge with Hit and run. When that failed i was in deep trouble. 3.) Nurgle stuff gets to T5 and is almost always multi wound so I should have directed the typhoon missles at the rad grenade targets to try for instant death if any got through. That would have helped alot. 4.) Terrain - we set up terrain so it would be cinematic. It sort of limited my ability to move effectively since i was leery of risking dangerous terrain rolls on the center ice. I also couldn't go up and down levels with the bikes, as in from ground to the top of the bridge so it became doubly hard to move. 5.) Deployment - I hampered my self with my deployment the typhoons should have all been central so that they could gain the center of the field in order to cover the priority targets with fire. The Dread positioning could have worked but wasn't really given a chance.

Kilofix Posted July 19, 2014 Share Posted July 19, 2014 "I don't know why he swallowed that fly, perhaps he'll die...." keeps ringing in my head.
