Francois,

Bang! Zoom to the moon, Alice! <grin> Ok, ok, I get the joke. ;-)

Well, this was his detachment (my army list was in the first battle
post). He tried to keep it in cover, but it was so large that I was
always able to fire at some part of it (or firefight it on the flanks,
as it turned out) and whittle it down. I would say that it didn't
serve him well. However, he also fielded it and his other infantry
group in the same part of the map, which just made things more crowded.

I agree - when he marched all his units I was definitely surprised.
Once I got over that, it was just a matter of figuring out how to take
apart the vanguard of his now spread out army before the titan and
baneblades showed up.
