HGR Journal Entry No. 076 - Brutal Fighting on the Front

Date: November 22, 2008
Venue: Robinsons Galleria
Regulars Present: Henri, Ebon, Salubri, Kuneho and Kyuzo
Other Players Present: The Other Marty
Game Results:

---

Game 1
The Muffin Man's Salamanders vs Kuneho's Tyranids
2000 pts, Annihilation in Pitch Battle(?)
Salamanders win!

Salamanders survive Tyranids wave after wave. Eventually score more kill points than the Tyranids.


Game 2
Ebon's Hestan lead Order of the Clenched Fist vs Henri's Iron Wolves
2000 pts, Caputre and Control in Dawn of War
Draw!




Game 3
Salubri's Sword of Light (CW Eldar) vs Kuneho's Tyranids
2000 pts, Annihilation in Pitch Battle
Salubri wins!

Kuneho decides to play it differently this time by deploying his gene stealers with brood lord instead of flanking. Salubri fields an army of aspect warriors including the newly finished Dark Reapers who truly did perform as they should by gunning down a good number of bugs. Reappearance of the howling banshees proved to be a good choice as it was instrumental in rescuing the Eldar's beleaguered line and holding the right flank in time to allow the Reapers to retreat to safety. By the end of 5th turn(?) only few bugs remain(one carnifex and one swarm(?)) and Craftworld Sword of Light had commanding presence on the field.

On another note Ebon made the proposition to move the standard back to 1.5k. Give us your thoughts on the matter by commenting on this post.

i'm not one to set a standard on pointage and i'll always believe that 2k is just as fast if not faster than 1.5k coz the unit capabilities begin to equalize(except when fighting guard).

however even if i'm an elitist 2k bastard i can prepare a 1.5k list if informed before hand.

but as to setting standards on pointage... i don't think we have the right to do that. :D

I say we just prepare 1500 and 2000 pt lists when we come to gaming sessions.

As of now, we really can't say we have a standard. We just usually play at 2000 pts. A standard would help if we have regular tournaments wherein the pointage is constant. Even with our tournaments, pointage requirements vary.

As far as playing fast is concerned, wala sa number of points yan, nasa player :P

I usually bring a 1k and 2k army list using almost the same figs... Usually. :D Problem left for me is to get to join in with enough time for at least one more game.

Need to think up a 1.5k list applying the same philosophy. ;)

As What Salubri Said last saturday I can play any pointage . . . hehehehe :D
I have prepared a list from 1K, 1.5, 1.75 and 2K - Practically using the same core troops/figs little adjustments in Support units and HQ enables me to work with this army and shift with ease. :D
