Battle Results: 2000pts battle! Played a very modile SM army. Lost the battle by end of 3rd turn. My falcon and Wavesperpent carrying my Firedragon unit got locked into H-T-H and so destroyed or immobilized. The Dragons managed to get out but were charged by Jump packers with a Chaplin. After first combat round I was left with 1 FD and the Exarch. Who promptly died next turn. With both the FDs and the WG I got too close when I dropped them. They both never got to fire. At least the WG got to take some Biker SMs out in H-T-H but it just became a push in their fight. The reapers Worked great. Took out all but one member in a SM squad. That squad was in a tower with a lascannon. The warwalkers denied the center and the Avatar hit another Jumppack unit hard in H-T-H. Any more suggestions. I am thinking a will leave alone and just try not to get the Falcon bogged down. Also get the FDs deployed better so they can do something. ? with the Warlocks does them having a Pistol and a Witchblade give them 2 attacks in CC (army the fought) HQ: [ 168 ] ---Avatar ---Farseer -----Singing Spear -----Guide Troops: [ 322 ] ---G.

how come my formatting is all screwed up? Looks fine when I try to edit it.

Perhaps I am reading your report incorrectly, but what do you mean about your Falcon and Waveserpent being 'locked into' HTH?

Eldar vehicles are nearly impossible to knock out in HTH (Even for an old Ork like me.) and even when they are hit, it is hard as heck to immobilize them (Spirit stone, etc.)

Add to that, vehicles CAN'T get locked into HTH, only a model with WS can be forced to stay in HTH.

Unless I am mistaken about what you wrote, looks like you got hosed.
