Today kicks off round 2 of our planetary empires campaign. TQ is planning on setting up a live stream once again with his amazing headcam. We're planning to start at 1PM EST so if you wanna watch some games, critique our mistakes, or are bored stop on by!
This weekend saw the start of our second round of competitive play. We are using the standard Planetary Empires rules with a few modifications to ensure variety among the games. If your interested all the rules are listed to the right under links and you can see the status of our campaign map.
My first match up was again Joe V. and his tyranids. He got the new rules a few nights before and decided to see how his old list played out. Contrary to the codex creepers cries, things seemed manageable with good target priority and threat management. Even though I lost the game I could clearly see where i went wrong and it was in no part due to the new Nids being overpowered. I misjudged how far away my assault marines were form the genestealers and that my tyrant had imaginary wings on it and got caught after the genestealers got a 6 for difficult terrain and a 6 for fleet. If I had faced either one at the time I felt that I could have taken them out in close combat. After my assault plans fell apart I went on the defensive and did my best to salvage the game but the damage had already been done.
Just remember, Have faith in your Bolters when your other weapons fail!
Today begins our new year of gaming and with only 2 guys calling in with excuses we're looking forward to having 10 players for our first meet up of 2010. Josh From TQ Studios being Mr. interwebs is running a live head cam while we go at it. Were planning on starting at 1pm eastern time so come on by and watch us throw some dice!
