Bullet to the Head

Tuesday, March 31st, 2009

I had a rather short and anti-climatic game against John on Sunday.

Deployment was thus :

WarmachineA

He had Darius, a squire, a journeyman, 2 centurions and Rowdy.
I had my Deneghra list.

John just turtled and I advanced hoping to outflank, little did I realise that this was some well know tactic called ‘the bullet’.

The turn before the kill was turn 2 and looked like this;
WarmachineB

I did fear a charge on Deneghra so Gorman popped some smoke but I didn’t realise that Darius could life 16 tonnes of steel and put it within 2 inches of him so darius moved, lifted rowdy who then, with the help of a spell charged into Deneghra and ate her. Game over :( it was the worst game I’ve had. John did realise that I wouldn’t know what Darius could do due to my lack of experience so it was a bit of a kick to the teeth. However he was nice about it. I just would have rather had a game rather than I had been target practice as literally no models other than Deneghra died. Not really much of a fight to be fair. I did defiantly learn though, to keep Deneghra WAAAAAAAAAAAY back! It may have been different had I brought Mortenebra as she cannot be knocked down and is also a ‘ ‘Jack-caster’
