Destroyers forget to fire lol!

Space Wolves Turn 5
Nothing moves. Logan fights Deceiver again and suffers 2 wounds. Deceiver takes no injury again.

Result:
Game Ends. Its a Draw.

I was impressed by amount of shots those Destroyers could pump out. And the shooting of the gauss weapons also made glancing hits really good as they were so many of them. The time limit on games made the atmosphere a bit more tense as all the guys wanted to finish their game ;)

  1. The infamous 'anything but a ONE' roll! Always earns a good laugh after the game lol. Thanks for the wonderful report once again.

    Not sure if it will work but will moving the destroyers closer to the middle as you shoot the Logan squad helped, followed by a last turn turboboost to contest the Greyhunters' objectives?

    Looks like a fun game! Maybe the 'Tampines Rovers' gang can squeeze a short 1000points game too before our fantasy games =)

  2. @Krom: No probs bro ;)

    It was really fun and we had a good laugh over how fast it went. We just really wanted the epic showdown between Logan and Deceiver. We were ignoring a lot of other stuff. We were not very motivated to capture objectives lol!

    I was considering moving the Destroyers forward but was too worried that Logan would close combat them to death, quite easily.

  5. Haha! Logan is one tough wolf man! ;)

    The Deceiver is the main workhorse, although he never seems to want to wander far lol! I like his tricks though.

    He has sampled quite a few of the young races so far :)
