I liked the longer format but the short format was fine to me as well.

The big blocks are interesting and were something I thought would become popular, my only issue with them is morale. 4+ save and 25% casualty checks being big for tournament play. Marines here would have been hard pressed to cause a check in shooting but many armies could trigger then on both units in one phase. Ig especially would be dangerous with 1+ PBS.

Also i have an issue with the phaerons due to the ambiguity around how everliving works when the unit the models were attached to were wiped. Seems that RAW you lose the EL chance if the unit they were with is gone, but it could be GWs intent to work otherwise.

I agree that Morale is an issue. So far in our games, it has been an issue, but with Ghost Arks and redirection, we have been able to get them back in the fight every time.

We will mix it up between the shorter and longer bat reps, to appeal to both tastes. Some people know what's going on, others don't. We'll appropriately tag the video so that people know what they're getting.

I am of the opinion that EL does work despite the unit being wiped out. It is a bit unclear though, no doubt. I don't think they allow the unit to get back up, but the characters themselves do.

@Aldarrion
I will for sure take a look at your list.

OH wow that was pretty crazy, nice rep! Man I thought the space marines had it in the bag. I would have kept my drednaught back near the objective if I were him, like he mentioned in the video. During the battle I saw your warriors moving up and around and thought that you might be able to contest the objective in the last turn. Overall I think I can sum up the battle by saying the universe has a way of working itself out in the end.

Yeah, no kidding, right? Haha, never give up! I thought I was going to get creamed, but the dice smiled on me at the very end!

When you rolled that "1" to see if the game went on I almost pissed myself laughing at how ridiculous that game turned out to be.

I will have to throw in my hat for the longer battle reports because it was very informative as well as intriguing to see into the mind of other players.

wow.... I loled at the end there! Goes to show you lady luck is fickle lol!

Everyone there started laughing their asses off....except Luis! Haha.

It was a fun game and just goes to show that you should never give up!

Man, what a fight! Great batrep, will be looking forward to the longer-drawn out videos, definitely dig the tactics/deployment explanation.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Awesome report guys, great win right at the end there! Wow haha

I have to find a safe way to pack my army for taking it on a plane so I can fly down there and meet / play against you guys I usually go to cali at least once a year so it'd be awesome to meet more warhammer players!

Come on by for the Bay Area Open 2012! It would be great to meet you.
