Yeah,
So this is the second of two Eldar Vs Arbite games I played with Ian mid-week.
The first Game was a 1250pts played at Charing Cross Gaming Club- No Battle Report for that game
But it was a close game. I got a minor victory.
On the last turn I got 1 pathfinder next to a objective; I won 2 objectives to 1... that game ended on turn 6, if there was a turn seven things would have been different.
We were both free the next day so we agreed to up stakes and play a 2000pts rematch.
this game.
It was good to break out my Eldar, they havn't seen much love lately.
