Errm, for a definate start you cannot give War Machines orders......
Second, your opponent must have _REALLY_ been screwing up to let so much
die....
And consider this, that you fire LAST in the firing.... Well, last bar
any other warmachines, and provided you don't loose that iniative!
So your opponent would have lots of fun shooting you with his 5's to
hit, and you getting wiped out big style! While you can do nowt about
it!

So, maybe you were playing the rules wrong to a large degree!

Not to mention that none of the engines of vaul are out yet.

>From the battle report, IMO your engines would have been vapourised by
the Shadowswords, unless he was unlucky and stupid at the same time!

Oh well
