> Well, this was a close and exciting battle, but I believe I had the lady luck a bit on my side today. Not only on the above mentioned tripple six. I also managed to make a few very important armour saves, and Rune didn't make the regen roll for any of his Nemesis tanks in the first turn which is very unlike him. My plan was to concentrate solely on one side of the battlefield, where the dense terrain would work to my advantage. Rune spread his army over the entire battlefield and tried to encircle my army, luckely I was able to bring in the avatar on my exposed left flank and was able to neutralize the vanguards attacking me there. Rune moved his Mage Mech into the woods and we decided that he should be able to target any pop up attacks and the titan, if I would be able to fire back at him with units on pop at a -1 penalty. That was al I needed, my last scorpion destroyed the mech and ensured my victory. As I said all in all a very good battle, and the first time I've beaten Rune in a not to experimental g
ame :) This was my fourth consecutive game playing the Eldar, and I'm falling more and more in love with them :)

> Rune is obviously expecting me to come chargeing out of my defensive positions, we shall see <evil grin>. I took a chance by chargeing his Vanguards in order to stop them from shooting out the Dire Avengers and ghostwarriors, this was as Rune said probably not too wise, on the other hand it allowed me to charge his mechs behind the vanguards. Rune is reluctant to engage my scorpions, exarchs and guardians holding up position in the woods on the right. I'm guessing he's planning to attack my exposed left flank, and ther isn't much I could do to stop him...... or is it???? I was lucky to take out all his Nemesis Tanks as they where a serious threat to my Warlock Titan. Slann has got som serious firepower and I must be carefull not to get lured into a firefight with him! Well here we go!
