Heh, heh, I had the same reaction when I first read the report.
("Striking Scorpions gunning down land raiders? What the hell?").

Perhaps you guys could try the meeting engagement, which allows the bulk
of the armies to arrive on turn 1. This prevents people from being
badly screwed by rolling lots of 1s and 2s. Also, it seems your marine
player would be well advised to hold his troops back until the rest
of his boyz have showed up :).

I was wondering how it is possible to kill the WE of Vaul off. They
seem vulnerable to CC but how do you get that close to them? I was
especially wondering since me poor orkses are slow and short-ranged,
I don't see any way of getting my boyz into position to even hit the
things.
