HGR Journal Entry No. 041 - More Galleria Gaming...

Date: January 19, 2008
Venue: Neutral Grounds Galleria
Regulars Present: Kyuzo, Balian, Sigismund, Ebon
Games of Choice: Warhammer 40k
Highlights:

--------------


Game1 - Balian(Ravenwing) vs. Sigismund(Blood Ravens)
2000pts Cleanse Gamma
Balian wins via VP

Ravenwing doing a lot of faking one way and move the other, with Blood Raven terminators zigzaging and shooting behind cover. Sigismund's tactics (and shooting) were sound, dessimating Ravenwing forces to more than half. Only critical error was Sigis had no available units to contest quarters in the closing turns, which pretty much proved to be the points difference between them.

--------------


Game2 - Kyuzo(Chaos Space Marines) vs. Ebon(Deathguard)
2000pts Cleanse Alpha
Ebon wins via Objective [one scoring unit on one uncontested quarter vs. none]

I tried experimenting by making some major adjustments to my Emperor's Children list by mixing in more chaos space marine units along with some rhinos and havocs too. The set-up has its merits, though I guess I should not have been overly aggressive against Deathguard. Plague marines at T5 and Feel No Pain is a pain. Lolz.

It was a close game with Ebon's claiming unit just one model short of not scoring. Had a chance at a draw if it were not for that crucial miss on that lascannon shot at those dudes on the very last turn.
