There are a few threads in YMDC arguing this currently, lets not hijack this battle report to continue that discussions.

(Waiting patiently!!!!!!!!)

I don't think the Libby can charge with the a wulfen unit, if the unit ran that turn... not in NOVA/ITC format. People can argue as much as they want on YMDC

Almost done with the report, guys. Thanks for your patience.

We may have made some mistakes in this game, but to be fair, it's all new for MikhailLenin.

Let me guess he was conferring CoW rules onto the libbys attached to them and they are charging and running same turn. Like ICs charging same turn they arrive in drop pod in the sky hammer formation, which is disallow in ITC.

Indepth discussion of rules should occur in the ymdc forum. Thanks.

Regardless, the effectiveness of the combo seems to hinge a lot on your locality's interpretation of the rule.

Looking forward to the report, nonetheless!

Jim had another game last night.. reasons for the delay. Haha

While I did have to avenge myself against Firestream Tau last night, that wasn't the main reason why I didn't get to post my batrep (which, btw, is already done).

Rather, I am waiting for Frontline in order to post here and on their blog on the same day. Due to the ITC polls and a late delivery, Frontline got kinda backlogged yesterday and had to push things back somewhat.

I'm hoping to get the report out on both sites today.

No excuses JIM I write battle reports while feeding a newborn and walking a dog!!!

Its interesting how strongly the community decided to stick with 1850... i personally voted for 1650. I hope the pirahna's get fixed as well... would be nice to see the models used more.

Haha....

Yeah, I voted for 1650 myself as well. Guess people just want to use more toys. I also hope that Tau get back some of the stuff that was taken from them. It'll be a shame if there were no worthy Tau players for me to crush in competitive play.

Still waiting ...

You've been avenged!

The real reason why you couldn't post last night was from finishing all that Fireball.

I'm not a fan of ITC's Piranha Firestream nerf, but I'm satisfied with generating drones at least three times before Turn 5.

Looking forward to seeing this btrp completed.

Cant believe the cent star survived as well as it did...

NEWS UPDATE - Batrep will be posted both here and on FLG's blog on Monday.

Haha....just FYI, but sometimes, I play better when I am intoxicated. Don't need to overthink things and second-guess my every move. Lol.

Yeah, a shooty deathstar can potentially give the Firestream problems because they ignore one of the biggest benefits of the Drone Factory.....the Centstar doesn't care about screening units.

How'd you know?

Yeah, it's actually a very good game because it became a rather close game that went down to the wire.

Your own pictures posted here link back to the rest of them... you need to post the pictures better because clicking on them inadvertently redirected to the gallery of them all. Will not spoil further... and I still dont know the results... especially with the proxies...

Oh, ok. Lol.

It's coming soon.

Is this still coming tonight? Looking forward to it.

Yes it is!

Battle report completed and posted. Enjoy!

Great report as always, Jy2! Glad to see you're back to posting them.

Thanks for the report! I got one question...how do you get a 3++ on the wulfen?

2 Wulfen in each squad with a Storm Shield for 3++

Ahh gotcha. I don't know why I didn't see that.

Very good report as always. Woodford Reserve! I think I drank three bottles of that in 2015.

You're welcome.

Yeah, 2 storm shields in each unit. He was rolling well for them (and their FNP's), which was why it took so much firepower just to bring 1 unit down.

We actually finished that bottle during our game and went on to drink part of the Buchanan's!

Ah, nothing like garage-hammer!

Good report, keep em coming please

How come both of you want Endurance over Invis?

I'm finding Invis to be over-rated, especially when we've both got easy access to Prescience. Besides I was more concerned with the Crap-ton of S10 attacks he had and he was concerned about the crap-ton of Force weapons I had in my army.

Great report as always. Your paint thinner looks delicious!

But if he double or force weapon you, the 4+ FNP would be useless?

Endurance also gives Eternal Warrior so all the multi wound models still get a good buff.
