After Action Review

This game started poorly for me. While I was able to break most of his offensive power, he leapt out to an early lead and started targeting my transports. This left me in a precarious spot, and I didn’t think I’d ever pull it back. I got lucky with the Hunters demolishing a large building and removing an objective, and that brought everything back to even kilter. In the long run it gave me just enough power to shove through.

The list really needs some work, as I’m still building from a Shaltari perspective at larger point values. I’ve got to do some thinking, as the Annihilator didn’t feel nearly as effective as I first expected.

Stay tuned for more games, both Dropzone and 40k. We will be ramping up production very soon!
