In this Full Length Battle Report, the feared Skyhammer Annhilation Force led by the ruthless Pablo falls upon the stalwart Astra Militarium infantry and armor commanded by Reece and supported by Ahazra Redth’s brave Mantis Warriors. Be sure to check out the Tactics Corner for more great video bat reps!
For the record, I’m with you on the tank-shock Reece:
-as few of the scouts as possible must move (AND move as little as possible) in order to be, a) out of the vehicle’s path, b) in coherency, c) 1″ away from the vehicle
-the scouts should have ended up bunched-up on the right side of the Wyvern (from the wyvern’s movement’s point of view)
-it’s a technique used greatly to maximize flamer and blast templates
-it would have allowed an opening for the Taurox
-Pablo just moving the scouts further back and away was not correct
-I would have moved the Wyvern 12″ and forgone shooting altogether to maximize the hole and allow room for the Taurox
Also for the record, and as much as it pains me to say so after the tank-shock shenanigans with Pablo…
The tactical squad with Azra should not have been able to assault the command squad on turn 6 as they got forced out of the rhino in the previous turn.
That said, considering Reece lost 1/4 of his army off the reserves, hell of a way to bring it back! Good attempt from Pablo to cock-block Reece’s backfield, very sneaky.
At a gw organised tournament in Warhammer world, it was ruled coteaz gets to shoot the pod and then the unit, even if he destroyed the pod! Which was probably a bit harsh.
