1k game 2

 After game 1, game 2 was a bit of a relief. This was more of the type of games I had been hoping for, with a very quirky list! 

The guard list I was facing was one Basilisk and lots of troops! And I mean lots! There was at least 120 of them!

I was really worried that I was going to struggle to actually get through all the bodies and he was just going to rampage all over me and bog me down with sheer numbers and for a some parts of the battle field, that's exactly what did happen!

The long fight!

One area where this happened was in the centre where two of my dreadnought were. Both ended up in combat with a 20 man squad of guardsmen and while they did not take much damage, a couple of wounds a piece, it took a long time for them to get through the guard as well! With just 5 attacks hitting on 3's it took a long time to chew through 20 guardsmen. 

The rhino had a similar problem, as it got swamped on an objective and spent much of the game just trying to squash guardsmen, rather unsuccessfully!

The Rogue Trader and Voidsmen again did very little, just sitting on the back field objective chilling. They probably could have done something this game but holding my home objective was good enough. I had thought about splitting the squads and running the voidsmen up the table but decided to just let the Deathwatch get on with it. 

This was a really fun game, with both of us just having fun and not worrying about who was winning or scoring cards or more accurately stopping the opponent scoring. 

The game very much swung in my favour towards the end but to be honest, if I had lost I wouldn't have minded at all, this was probably the best game of the weekend and my opponent was really in the spirit of this tournament, silly list and zero shits given.
