Hope you guys enjoy this report. It was an awesome game and both sides played pretty well. A few errors on both parts but overall pretty brutal. Hope you enjoy.

Nice battle report!

Nice Battle Rep and post battle reviews. A few hindsight points for the Eldar. I am not picking on the Eldar, I just love the Eldar and paid more attention to their game and tactics, sorry. In I think it was turn 3 and on, you moved a serpent and proxy-Devilfish Serpent flat out to the other side of the board, then flat outed them agan the next turn. I would have used that second turn to get rear armour shot at that rhino. Have the other serpent rear to rear with the first to protect rear armor and try to kill one of the small squads. I like the flat out moves, but don't spend the majority of the game doing it if you are playing annihilation, yes for objective grabbing games. Also, after the first turn, I would have gotten the fire dragons out prior to serpent moving, so that the dragons could move shot at the land raider and assulted it if it did not blow up or wreck and moved the serpent to support, but protect its rear. These are just my two cents, you both played good games and I look forward to seeing more posts. I am not the best player, and still make plenty of mistakes, but these video bat reps, help me with my games play better in the future and they will for you too. Cheers.

Hmmm that is a rather weak list for GK vs decently min max Eldar. Two very keep things Bad_Sheep, Holofields on the prisms and Farseer for Psy protection. With 3 Fire Prisms you really want Eldrad for 2 guides on Prisms.

Just faced off at 2k today vs a Dragowing + Psyflman dread list in Annihilation today... now that is a nightmare.

OK first off, purifiers are fearless so I don't know why he took moral checks. Second, an immobilized result on a vehicle that went flat out in it's previous turn is NOT destroyed, read the FAQ this only happens during it's movement phase in dangerous terrain. Thirdly, it sounded like the Jokero fired after an assault!?? Maybe you worded it poorly. Finally those two fleeing fire dragons could still shoot as they fled..... I stopped watching after that point as I lost interest after so many errors....

Actually, it is destroyed. The difference is that if it was immobilised after going flat-out in your own phase, then the guys inside are dead. If it gets immobilised in your opponent's phase, it is still wrecked, but then your guys can disembark from it (they are not auto-killed)

JY2 is correct, if a vehicle that goes flat out is immobilized it is destroyed, UNLESS you take the vectored engines option for Eldar, in which case it is just an immobilization. I have started swapping out star engines for vectored engines as I do not want to lose guys if I go flat out and not give the enemy an easy kill point.

To Red Corsair - I think constructive critiscism is important and a way for us to learn to play the game better, however, please keep negative comments like "stopped watching at that point as I lost interest.." Those comments are not helpful, just mean... Do us all a favor on this forum and keep those to yourself or DO NOT post in the first place. DAKKADAKKA does not need your type of commments.

Good Report

Thank you everyone for your input on our game. I do admit it was a weak GK list, i wanted to try something different (did not like it at all) I more then likely will be going back to my normal lists i always run. Bad_sheep's eldar are tough to play against, he zips them fire dragons across the board and forces me to deal with them first, as he positions the other SEVEN (lol) tanks
