All mounted bonesplitters vs skaven in power in numbers. That was like perfect scenario for me. Pictures after deployment and after my t1 charge moves.
I killed like 50 rats. He didn't get double t2, he didn't get verminlord summoned on 6 attempts and mid his t3(he started) we quit. Even if he succeeds he can get 6vp plus t4 & 5 battletactics plus grand strategy. I can just burn all 4(2 completely safe though) ending with 18 plus t4 & 5 bt's and grand strategy(pretty much quaranteed short of 2 vermin lords being summoned).
Waaagh!
4/4 wins this year O_o. Not sure have i ever won 3 games in row.

I had 63 models of which 40 charged into melee right away up against 40 clanrats, 30 stormvermin, 2 bells and some heroes and 2 warpfire thrownrs. All 3 units 1/2 or less after t1 combat.
Good thing bells turn them immune to morale...
He noted afterward 1 clarnrat unit should have been screen for rest. All unlikely to die, rally and counter punch. If he can get double it could be winnable even in this scenario. As deployed in this scenario he needed some serious break including double but as is i was the guy rolling 6's...
edit: Had I realized just how badly this scenario favours me I would have said reroll the dice As it is this matchup is pretty mean matchup...But generally scenario where you can net enough vp's in first 3 turns favours this mounted bonesplitter force as generally turns 4-5 they have very little army left. It's bit of extreme tactic. First 2-3 turns it tries to get vp advantage by locking enemy to place, then it just tries to hang on and do enough BT's to sneak out the win.
Here I could remove objectives making late game comeback hopeless...
Veins of ghur would be lot trickier scenario. Or vice.

Winning streak finally ended. Cities of sigmar vs khorne. If yesterday i got best possible scenario this time it was worst possible at apex predators with just 2 wizards vs 3 khorne monsters and 3 more heroes.
After r2 priority roll we called it as i was going to be 4-12 before my turn with zero leaders so max 11 points to be scorable...think it's safe to say i'm dead
Horrible scenario(for me with these lists) and played like an idiot.
Something like feral foray, power in numbers, marking territory or veins of ghur would be lot better for me.

2 games that went opposite. First kragnos led gits(mostly trolls) crushed seraphon taking double and effectively tabling army. Then bonesplitters were crushed pretty much equally fast. 1st game exposing too much was fatal' and going first didn't help, game 2 opted to go 1st which was fatal.

2 super fast games(though we played to t5 and figured result) and 2 quick defeats.
First should maybe have played for double heavier but assuming i don't get played so safe was 4vp down. And if i don't get would be in hairy spot anyway. Did get mawkrusha down which was good but trolls got whittled down and wasted grots stupidly forgeting brute rules. Those brutes basically won him game.
2nd game gargants vs kruleboys. Stupidly aggressively played 2nd turn cost me dearly. In the end he won 33-31 last round without even needing to kill my general.

Super busy at the FLGS tonight, didn't even get to all the games we had planned.
We started out the day by helping a convert to 5th edition 40K learn how to have fun again with his blood angels as he is quite fed up with where GW is going with 9th edition, and he only has experience with 8th/9th edition.
He requested we break out our rock quarry tables so the setup is a bit weird but being a jump heavy blood angels list it worked out for him.
game 1 was against my dark angels with 5 objectives. game went to turn 6 and while he didn't kill much of my stuff he managed to win on objectives. 3 to 2
Game 2 he changed up his list a bit and went up against a tau list with 4 mirrored objectives in a custom layout.
this one was a brutal slog with most of both armies getting hurt. he was also trying out a doredeo dread that made an incredible 9 invul saves of 5+ over the battle. the objective score at the end was 5/1 in favor of the blood angels.
the next set of games were a couple 50 point warmachine matches
game 1 was skorne VS crucible guard,
Win for the guard
Game 2 i put my khador up against everblight, always a slog.
Most of my force got wrecked but i managed to barely pull off a caster kill to win this one.
Last battle of the night was some B5 wars star wars conversion-
ISD II/victory VS MC80B, rebel assault ship and 2 corelian gunships.
They are getting a re-match next week with fighter support as the player running the rebels is still learning the game and made a few tactical errors.
More detailed reports and pictures will be going up in the related forum threads i have running for these games.

This week's game session felt like dejavu with a twist,
We had another run of warmachine games-
legion of everblight VS retribution of scyrah at 50 points-
Then it was skorne VS grimkin at 25 points-
Then my khador got some attention with skorne at 50 points-
In between all that i managed to squeeze in a 5th ed 40K game, giving the tau player something other to fight than marines with my 3rd party "admech" army at 2k points.
Finishing the night off with a rematch of the B5 wars Star Wars conversion game, this time with fighter support-

2nd game with fyreslayers. First time vs pure nighthaunt(2 times 2vs game). 18-17 loss but own stupidity cost me as brainfarted monstorous takeover that was easy do. Or aggressive expansion automatic but was hoping to save it later while i still had monster.

Which is why I prefer mats without such a permanent features. Roads look pretty but then restrict sensible layout.

One could argue they encourage interesting or realistic layouts. What's a "sensible" layout, anyway?

I am usually the guy setting up the terrain so i take a good amount of care setting up the mats to look like they make sense, fit a certain scenario or are fair to both sides.
I purposely bought specific terrain pieces for my mars mechanicus table to make it look like it fit even if i re-arrange the pieces every now and then.

Not one that has buildings middle of road...
You can do same layout on any mat. In some there just ain't road under house.

Yeah but if you stick to putting buildings where they would go (ie. not in the middle of the road), then you wouldn't have that problem.
