2 v 2 Dropfleet Match. Scourge/Scourge vs PHR/Shaltari

Our FLGS is doing a 40k doubles tournament coming up and people have been prepping by doing doubles matches.  We had one newcomer to Dropfleet so we decided to do a doubles match of dropfleet.  

4x6 table.  Moon in the middle.  One civilian liner.  a few clusters and space stations.  

Did activations normally by SR number.  A 4 player game is going to be longer by nature but the moon tend to split up the armies at times.  At those times we activated some players early if it wasn't going effect anything negatively.  

A few notes.  


Getting used to PHR. Ganymede, Bellerophon both worked well. Pandora group did their job.
Ajax didn't end up doing anything, but that might have been the double-teaming from two manticores.
Heracles's Dark Matter cannon was fun but his broadsides were disappointing.

Big drill, Apex, and Famous Commanders Oh My!

Let's throw in everything and the kitchen sink for this battle report.  We will both be using Famous Commanders, V2 beta rules,  and the Apex fauna with its experimental rules. Allied Resistance commanded by Jessie Adams, Guide of the Damned V.S. The Scourge commanded by Eden's Dinosaur The scenario:  Careful Advance Corner deployment, 2 Critical Locations, 3 Objectives in the buildings.  Along with the Dropzone v2 beta rules we added extraction points along the centerline.  Extraction points are an alternative extraction type rather than the typical extraction off of your board edge for the extra VP.  In extraction points you have to have the objective on the extraction point at the end of the game.  This means you have to hold on to your objectives and protect them for the whole game which has been a lot more more fun in my experience.   And the Apex fauna. Typically fauna are fairly neutral, they are like NPCs that run around and attack anything i

LVO 2017 Mission Report: Crucible.

Crucible The dreaded Crucible.  Four objectives, one Critical Location in the center.  This mission tends to favor the heavier armies with multiple Damage Points that can sit on the CL and survive.  Shaltari typically lack this unless you run a warstrider brick with a Dreamsnare.  Finding that brick too costly I opted to go with Shaltari infinite ranged weapons, the Ocelot and Panther.  My goal was to use these weapons to sit in the back and prevent anything from getting to or surviving on top of the CL. Interesting note.  My opponent blogged about this match as well  here .  It was definitely interesting hearing a post-match report from his perspective as it gives me a glimpse into his head that I never would have known.  For example, he speaks a lot about how he had to change his tactics due to my warspear, slowing down his approach and deploying his AA carefully.  I had no idea my warspear was so much on his mind. Awesome Power The match started well for me.  I got
