Tournament game 2

So, as usual, you travel all the way to a tournament and end up playing your own son! Yep, played a game I could have and did play at home! this time however, it went a little differently.

The lists were the full 2000 point lists, and we played a different mission as well, Terraform in this case. 

Deployment

The deployment was fairly standard, with my son weighting his left flank to my more even deployment. 

Deployment

The game went fairly evenly, with the primary score being fairly low, with neither of us actually terraforming any objectives, as neither of us had the opportunity or the control to do so. 

Turn 3 or 4

The key points of the game were the Blade Guard taking on the commandos and a Boyz squad plus some other bits up on my left hand objective. The Sanguinary Guard also did a good job in the bottom corner, chopping their way through some more boyz. The Ork Deffkopters also did a good job against the Assault Intercessors, with the Apothecary coming into his own in response. 

Turn 3 or 4

All in all, this was actually a very close game and there was no clear winner at any point of the game.

While the game ended 60 to 40, if painted scores were the same (i.e. my son had his army painted) the score would have been 60 to 50. The secondary scores were very close, with just two points in it but the primary had a greater gap, although it was still low, with me scoring just 20 points, eight of them in the final turn. 

This was a really close and good game, one that went back and forth a bit, although I never felt that I was on the back foot at all. I was pleased with the win and was happy having gone 1 and 1 at this point.
