Thanks!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/481775/4862218.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/481775/4862218.page GMT Re:[PICS] IG vs SM 1000 pts.
Good pics and the report structure was good and to the point.

Well done. ]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/481775/4862651.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/481775/4862651.page GMT [PICS] IG vs SM 1000 pts. IG win the second I looked at the rosters. Great report though. I LOVE the second view photos giving you multiple shots of the BF from unit views. I wish more people would take the time to do that. Great Bat Rep!]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/481775/4865471.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/481775/4865471.page GMT [PICS] IG vs SM 1000 pts. http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/481775/4871619.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/481775/4871619.page GMT Re:[PICS] IG vs SM 1000 pts. GW reports but interesting and to the point, and I'm guessing not staged either.

As for the game, I'm very surprised at the result. I thought for sure Space Marines would take it, given their superior position and excellent deployment. If they had simply held their ground, you would have had to choose between splitting your forces and crossing the field, exposing chimera side armor to certain death, or sitting back and essentially forfeiting the game.
I think you were very lucky to get both vendettas in so early, and that the SM player threw away the game when he sent in the librarian squad to die.

Congratulations on the win]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/481775/4923498.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/481775/4923498.page GMT Re:[PICS] IG vs SM 1000 pts.
In addition to the fanastic layout of your battle reports, I also really appreciate the fact that the battle reports you've posted so far are at the 1000 point range. That's the usual size of game we play in my gaming group. So many of the Battle Reports here on Dakka are +1500 points and I have trouble relating to them (which sounds weird to say).

So a huge thanks for the effort and quality of your battle reports, I truly do look foward to the next one!

With Regards,

Thanks! I am trying to keep things very simple to understand via pictures without reading.

After the game, my opponent told me that he understood the mistake which he made by splitting his forces. He had to hold position, or make a full attack with everything he had. The idea behind splitting forces was to hold me as long as possible to enshure that i wont take any objectives in time. And clearly it was and Air superiority which won me a game.

Thanks!
I am sad to say but we usually look at bigger games of 1750 - 2000 points games as a main tournament size here. There will be more of 1k format for sure, but we are focused on a bigger games.]]> http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/481775/4927234.page http://www.dakkadakka.com/dakkaforum/posts/preList/481775/4927234.page GMT Re:[PICS] IG vs SM 1000 pts.
I like the short hand format and the pictures are just amazing in explaining what is going on!

Keep up the good work!
