So I did god damn AWFUL!!! 0-2-1 Just isn't acceptable, so I figured I'd put up the reports here to shame myself to doing better. So there was some comp to it, though honestly if you destroy your enemy you can still make best general, though not best overall. Sadly I lost the folder that had the mission sheets and my opponants lists so I'm having to do this from memory, so please forgive the lack of super solid facts.

First Mission

Enemy - Grey Knights
Mission - 2 objectives, kill points as secondary, kill the leader as third objective.
Deployment - Corners

This was hard as it was the first time I'd ever faced a competitive GK list. No flyers, but a whole lot of squads of both regular GKs and terminators. He took turn 1 and blew off the icarius las cannon first thing. Drove up a razorback with a mystic and teleported everyone up right in front of my fortress. The heavy bolters took their toll on them, but after the the strike squad shunted passed the walls started banging on the door, my sisters just didn't last that long. Note: The saint and her serephim came off the wrong side of the board and were next to useless. In the end he took both objectives, got kill points, but couldn't kill Celestine. Defeat lose 3-17.

Second Mission

Enemy - Eldar
Mission - 2 Objectives, Table Quarter as secondary, Enemy chooses 3 units to kill for third objective.
Deployment - Long table edge

This was my most fun game. My opponent was a great guy and made this a great experience. He choose one of my exorcists and a dominion squad with Immolator. I choose his reapers and a wave serpent with dire avengers in it.
I got first turn and I made the mistake the las cannoning the wave serpent right away, which blew it up and took 2 avengers with it. After that he just hid them away keeping me from that objective. He had a huge squad of wraithguard with Eldrad that walked up the middle as both objectives were right in the middle. One of my melta sister squads ran up on him a pulled a drive by and managed 2 melta shots on him. He got 1's on his LOS, his invul, and his reroll leaving him a puddle on the battlefield. I wiped the wraithguard only to have the reapers wipe the sisters off one objective, and the walker wiping the other sister squad off the other objective. In the end no one claimed any objectives but we both got one of the other objectives, I controlled the field, and he killed the 3 targeted squads. 11-11 draw.

Third Mission
Enemy - Dark Angels
Mission - 4 Objectives, Kill Points secondary, Get into your opponents deployment zone for third.
Deployment - Short table edge

Do you know how many terminators you can fit into a 2250pt list? Specially when they count as troops? A ton. This was a rough game as all the objectives were right in the middle of the board. I tried to stay my distance, but they swarmed the objectives first and I just couldn't move them. I blew off all but 10 terminators, but in squads of 2, 3,1 and 4 they held 3 objectives, I managed to wipe the command squad and get 1. In the end the Heavy Bolters in the fortress is what did the most damage. As it was just a matter of numbers, the more dice I forced him to roll the more he failed. But in the end it just wasn't enough. It was a major lose 17-3.

All in all it was a pretty good experience, and I learned a lot about my army, and I think the list works, but I just played it in a way not optimized to its strengths. I'm still trying to find that GK solution, as right now they just ace me in every aspect of the game. Oh well, time to be getting ready for the 2500 COC in 2 months.
