I know what you mean when you speak about unforgetable battles... I've
played a Chaos vs Eldar battle (malheureusement the battle report is in
french :(, in the background the Eldars were in a desesperate situation
(1500 points of Eldars against 2000 points of Chaos...) and my opponent
decided that the only tactic for the Eldars was to try to surprise me...
I was very self-confident because my hord was big and the Eldar forces
were so little. I began to worry about the victory when I saw that the
Eldars were charging! I must say that my opponent was next the victory
(I was really very surprised!) but my hord was too numerous (in fact he
didn't know that I was keeping two thunderhawks with Chaos Space Marines
in reserve) and the Eldars were all destroyed. This was a very funny
battle and, I think, one of the best battles we fought : tout cela pour
dire that role-playing Epic games can be more interesting than only try
to win...

That's OK, I will translate all that in English! But this will take a
moment, I don't know if you noticed it but my english is not so good.
I hope that you saw the english version of my Lord's Home Page (Lord is
for L'ORDinateur, the computer in french :).

I'm working on it and I will tell you when it's finished.
P.S. Could you send me the URL of your site please.
