    Hi. Yes it was one of the first ones I played. They ork side was intended to
win that one. You would've had to get great rolls while the gargent player did
just the opposite to win. Or the ork side would have been played by a fool. The
point of the scenario is to teach the basics of troops, vehicles, and war
engines. Oh yeah the war engines always fire last. ^_^
