Tournament Results

Results from the tourney (my first):

1st round vs. High Elves a draw - I was 19 points short of a marginal victory, but we only played 3 rounds because my opponent and I came in late and had a shortened time to play. I think I could have easily crushed him in the next two rounds. Oh well. Them's the breaks.

2nd round vs. Dwarves a crushing victory for the Empire!!! He did a charge on one on my 'nilla knight units and they held unexpectedly on a difficult leadership test!!! That allowed me to outflank with my larger units of knights and wipe out his toughest 30-dwarf block and just sweep through his exposed flank. My Outriders mauled a 2nd of his 30-dwarf blocks and his flying machine thingy while my other 10-man knight unit and a 'nilla group in support did a flanking sweep on the opposite flank to remove his gunners and artillery and attack his infantry from the rear. My first win ever and on my first full game ever too!!!

3rd round vs. Greenskins with 2 giants and 4 chariots and 3 30-orc infantry blocks. Crushing defeat. :-( After some bad manoeuvering on my part while led to one of the giants outflanking my 10-man knight bock and some bad rally rolls, it was pretty much over. There was a 400 point difference in scores, but I took out about 600 points between my cannons and outriders.

I have to say I'm very happy with the way my Outriders have been performing 18 shots between 6 of them is just over whelming. My cannons did their fair share of work too. While I did like that opponents taking on my 'nilla knights didn't have any stanards to earn from them and a loss of one of them only gave them 123 points, one change I would make is to take an additional 10-man knight block instead of the 2 I had now. In this size battle the 3rd large knight block would have really helped.

If you need interpretation of some of these terms, drop a comment and I'll explain.
