How, may I ask, did this happen?

Playing on a standard 4x6 table you will be 24" apart if the monolith and dread are as close as possable.

No way in the game is a Dred is going to make it into CC with the monolith on turn one unless its a Furioso Librarian. Even with Fleet it is impossable for a normal dreadnought.

Thought not.

Since you have to start at least 24.1" away from an enemy model on a 4x4 or 4x6, not even the Monolith moving and the Dread getting Blood Rage, moving, fleeting and assaulting 6" would manage it (it'd manage 24", but deployment states you have to be more than 24", and DoW would mean both the ML and DN come from their respective board edges).

That right?


More or less correct, we didn't have furious charge back in the day so we attacked at the same time I think. I know I had only 3 attacks and I hit and wounded with them all, he failed his saves and died as you described. I remember for sure no wounds were dealt by his assassin to my squad, it was 'DOKTOR' PAIN who paid him a yearly check up with death by punching! Since it was S4 (remember old codex) vs 4 my 'urty syringe didn't do crud to him either so that's why we imagined punches. Even though my enemy was annoyed this happened we both couldn't help but laughing.

I had a Tzeentch Daemon Prince that was shot down to 1 wound on it's first turn and then finished off with a bolt pistol. -_-

Had Abaddon vs Chaos Daemons. He was in a unit of 6 Termies. Second turn (after only moving forward in the first turn) they were charged by a unit of 15 bloodletters. Abaddon going first, roll's a 1 and then get's killed by the charging bloodletters.

Had a Bloodthirster that lost three rounds of combat to a farseer (the game ended before we could resolve it, but at the rate it was going the Farseer was only a wound off finishing him).

Finally I once used Ahriman to turn the Avatar of Khaine into a chaos spawn using the 'gift of chaos' psychic power. Major lol's.

I saw a friend lose a Swarmlord to an Ethereal with an honorblade with his honor guard. How it happened I am not sure, I saw his swarmlord charge into CC against the tau ethereal, turned away to my own game sorta chuckling at how screwed my friend's opponent was. A little while later I hear, "NO FRIGGIN' WAY!!!!!" apparently, someone had some very cruddy dice rolls and someone else had some very lucky dice rolls. The Nids did end up stomping the Tau, but that one little battle was enough to inflate the Tau player's ego through the roof.

My one was one delivered and not one received - playing against a friend of mine who plays Chaos, who has a bit of a man-crush on Abaddon. He'd gone out and bought the model, spent weeks painting it up and talking about how awesome it was going to be.

During the course of the first game against him, one of my tactical squads was reduced to 1 model, a sergeant with a power weapon and bolt pistol. In a move I almost considered skipping, he fired his bolt pistol at Abaddon and his 3 remaining Terminator escort. He wounded, killed one of them, and Abaddon's unit failed their morale check, and the one sergeant promptly escorted Abaddon off the board.

I think he nearly cried.

Is every single game in the world played with a standard board deployment? My FLGS used to play all kinds of crazy missions - one notable example that would allow for this situation to happen had both players scattering their forces across the board. The Dreadnought with its large base and the Monolith being the size it is could have easily charged on turn 1.

Just sayin', not every game takes place on a standard board.

All battle missions have a 18" no-mans land, rather then 24". Might have been playing one of those. Or even one of the silly ones, where models of both armies are mixed all over the board.

7 Ork facts people always get wrong:
Ragnar did not win against Thrakka, but suffered two crushing defeats within a few days of each other.
A lasgun is powerful enough to sever an ork's appendage or head in a single, well aimed shot.
Orks meks have a better understanding of electrics and mechanics than most Tech Priests.
Orks actually do not think that purple makes them harder to see. The joke was made canon by Alex Stewart's Caphias Cain books.
Gharkull Blackfang did not even come close to killing the emperor.
Orks can be corrupted by chaos, but few of them have any interest in what chaos offers.
Orks do not have the power of believe.

Ok, well you gotta be expecting some crazy stuff when things lke that happen. And scattering everyone's forces about the board is going to be horribly unbalanced. CC armies win, shooty armies lose. pure and simple.
