As a companion to close games that aren't a draw, what about nowhere-close games that wind up as a draw?

For my example, I have another 2k/side 2v2. CWE/CWE versus DA/BA (6E).

We start out and manage First Blood. But then we don't kill a single other unit, first turn. 1000pts of shooting kill 2 Tacs in one place.

Asurmen dies, from full, to overwatch from 5 naked Sternies. With Fates Messenger, no less (what are the odds?!?).

Long, painful story short, the game ends t the end of 7.

I have 1 DA hiding in cover beside an objective.
My ally has no models left.

Our opponents have over 75% of their starting armies on the board.

But we pulled all but 1 unit off the objectives. All 4 Warlords are dead. They have Line Breaker. We have First Blood.

That one Dire Avenger tied the game.

Play the mission.
