Well sadly my mate couldn't make it yesterday after a slight Moped accident...oh well, I can't help but feel the hand of Tzeentch involved!

Luckily my Missus took pity on me and played a couple of games of second Ed with me (I think sh'es starting to enjoy it!)

The first game was a good laugh, she drew assassins, needing to kill my leader, whilst my mission was to get into her deployemnt zone (I'm starting to realise that this is no mean feat in a four turn game!).

We both failed our primary objectives, she wisely deployed her forces as speed bumps which stopped me rolling across the table, whilst my commander cowered inside some well defended ruins in my deployment zone.  It game down to forces killed and I managed to scrape a victory by two points.

In the second game we both drew Assassins.  It was quit cinematic as almost our entire force descended onto the middle of the table to duke it out with close range firefights and some hardcore Melee action.  By the end of my fourth turn I thought I had grasped victory, although I hadn't killed her Captain I had wiped out a fair proportion of her army!! MY smirk turned to a grimace as I watched her terminator squad plough into my Captain and rip him apart with their glowing power fists! Again I had lost.... But at least it was a fun game!!
