Wow, I must have totally repressed that. :-) That was definitely the
best shot of the game. My super heavies have had bad luck. I just
fought a game against orks, 2000 points. Had a Shadowsword and a
Baneblade waiting for his Gargant and Battlefortresses to get in range.
 As soon as they did, he won initiative, successfully lifta-droppa'd my
ShadowSword onto my BaneBlade and destroyed both! Ouch.

Yeah, we started playing relatively late (around 3-4PM or so) and it
took us 6 hours to complete 3 turns. I was rather shocked. I think
the Eldar contributed a lot to the time, though, since neither of us
had much experience with Eldar yet in E40k. I was taking a long time
thinking about how to move them and my tactics seemed to generate a lot
of thought (frustration?) on the other side of the table too. I think
that if we played again with army lists ready and some more experience
with what was on the table it would be a shorter game.
