Highlights and Score Breakdown
- The Dragoons were Shane’s favorite unit. Although they killed a sentinel and maybe 8 guys these things were targeted every turn by nearly everything! Due to Shroud Psalm on the first turn they had 3+ saves, plus the Incense Cloud meant that every turn the enemy had a -1 to hit modifier for shooting!
- Shane was rolling on with the 6s for the Dragoon’s CC phase, getting in a lot of attacks.
- Since most of Shane’s army was T6 or T7, the Wyvern didn’t do much damage this game.
- One of Shane’s Dunecrawlers took 3 wounds… which were all repaired the next turn byDominus. Other than that the other onagers didn’t get a scratch.
- Turn one saw both players capturing 2 objectives. Turn two saw each player capturing 1 objective and the final turn found both players capturing 2 objectives.
Final Score:
Shane: 5 VP
Alejandro: 5 VP
After 3 rounds of combat, the players were deadlocked at 5 VP each. But since Shane was dubbed the Underdog at the beginning of the match, he won a Minor Victory today!
