Two defences ...

My marines verses LtMonkey's Greys, on Phaze. This was a fun game in the end, although it started very boring.

Turns 2 to 4, I cleared terrain in case he was Spawn. On turn 4, spotted a scouting sentry. (0-0)

Turns 5 - 7, I slowly moved forward, trying to find the location of his main force, while reloading and clearing a little more terrain to make good firing lanes for my sniper and commander. Turn 7, ah crap, he's camping in the military building in the bottom left. (0-0)

Turns 8 - 9, I just kept force firing and opp firing where his guardian shields and sentries were, from far enough away not to be caught by any psykers. By now I was fairly sure he had no warper. On turn 9 I spotted his backup regen across the other side of the map, guarded by a lone sentry, also behind military walls. (0-0)

Turns 10 - 12, I kept him occupied with some grunts at the main bunker, while sneaking my grenadiers into position unseen. One near each regen ... The trap was in place. (0-0)

Turn 13, despatched 2 grenades into the left bunker. These both got there ok, but I didn't score a kill. Also fired an unseen grenade towards the other regen right at the end of the turn. Neither of us had said anything yet (except "Good luck" etc.). This turn I sent my first ingame message "...". (0-0)

Turn 14 - I sent two more grenades at the backup regen, just enough to pop it right at the end of the turn, and continued sending them in the direction of the main bunker too. This turn I sent "!!!". Mwahahaha. He got a psyke on one of my grenadiers, and then a sentry shot. My grenades right by the backup regen took 3 sentries and both psykers as the teleported in, and the regen itself. (8-0). Lt Monkey conceded.

Shouldn't gloat, but I love it when a plan comes together, and this one came together perfectly.

Now ... on to General Specific!

Edit : Challenges (one league, one friendly, same settings) sent.

Three defences now, after I won 14 - 6 on Factory, my Greys vs General Specific's Marines.

This game was a tough one for me; I thought I was going to lose for most of it. I didn't feel like I had the initiative even when I was leading in points, and I didn't realise Greys took so long to recharge at regens (in my game against palerider I didn't take any).

General Specific did a great job of being in all the places I changed my mind about warping and also kept 6 fpts (two commanders I later found) hidden for half of the game, which really kept me tense and worried about where they were.

In turn 15 I spotted his HQ, so I sent two warps in its direction in turn 16, as I thought he would be heading that way to heal. I was very lucky to take out his last 3 combat units, a medic, a grunt and a commander, ending the game.

Challenge sent to Valar Morghulis.

Yeah, four defences now.

I won against Valar Morghulis on turn 12, my Spawn vs his Greys in a 15 fpt battle on Tarantula.

Valar said in his turn 3 message (hope you don't mind me quoting) 'I wish I had drunkeness as an excuse for my deployment :/', and I think he was right, I won it on the deployment.

His only regen was pretty much out in the open and I did my best to goo him near it while stopping him from recharging (actually I didn't realise at this stage he only had one, I was primarily trying to stop him teleporting away). I sent in a splatter on turn 7 and although I didn't see how much damage it did, it must have done ok, because when I took out the regen 2 turns later it took 2 sentries and his warper with it.

Then it was just a matter of chasing the saucer and last sentry down. The sentry managed to take out 2 of my spikers before I got it - I was still looking for another regen.

Challenges (one league one friendly again, reject as appropriate) sent to Baron Von Cox.
