A fun match with Garion44 and worked in my favor in the end, a 3-1 pts victory for me.
1st game, I am sure I violated something out of Praxeo's Tactics and Strategy Guide Book, something to do with "Don't get caught with a Dead Man's Hand in your Hand!" Had "Air Power" in my opening hand and later in the game "Behind Enemy Lines" and finished the game with both!
Garion44 did a great job of spacing his units and once full sun arrived, had several choices of 2 fig units to try and kill and just never pulled the trigger. As for BEL, with the Tiber river in the way, again, didn't pull the trigger and should have just used both to either kill or damage some forward units and have G44 possibly retreat them.
Was a good battle, scores went 1-0, 1-2, 1-3, 3-3, 3-4, 5-4, 5-6, game ended with my playing a TFH and he countered, took the bridge objective and killed the unit in town on my side of the river. Used a 2 fig unit, got a 2-2 hit and 1-2 with Armor, took a risk and paid off with the 2 fig getting a 2-2 hit to help win the game.
Game 2 was much different, my 1st 4 turns I hit 12-16 dice, 3 kills, up 3-0 quickly and then moved up slowly and got into position and used 2 back to back ALL in the Center, had a 1 fig take the bridge objective and other units killed his Center Armor and a 2 fig INF on his right and a 6-0 victory, 35-19 in dice and 60% on his INF, G44 on his heels early and I was able to get the win.
A pleasure meeting and playing Jean-Christophe, best of luck going forward. With victories by Bekelian and Twamtaack, both 4-0 and my 3-1 victory and the leaders yet to come, things getting tighter up at the top, again, hopefully the leaders split 2-2 and keeps things tight!! Are you listening Le Pelican and VCX1302
Hopefully at most, 15 pts leads....
Enjoying my time here in COOL meeting new players and opponents and having fun! Remaining 6 matches should bring more of the same!!
