Green Again

So after not playing for so long, I had my ass handed to me Wednesday. Actually, we called it a draw after playing for way too long, but It was the other guy's second time playing ever so...yeah, I suck. First time against Cryx though. Re-learned some, and learned some new things though.

• Iron Flesh + Winterguard is every bit as good as you'd think it is.
• The Butcher isn't THAT fragile. Go kick some ass.
  
• Widowmakers are a very high priority target. Use that to my advantage.
  
• Mortar continues failing me. I'll give it a few more games.
• Don't blow all 3 rockets first chance something gets in range. Especially since they didn't hit anything anyway. Wait to spring that trap.
  

Basically if I hadn't played like an idiot, that game would have been a piece of cake. On the feat turn Goreshade got slammed with the Destroyer's gun, with 7 damage points remaining. My 4 man Winterguard CRA needed a 6 to hit, and I rolled a 5. Against Goreshade's armor of 17, it would have been 3d6-1 to damage, and >3d6-8 would win. Damn. Well, at least I'm back in it now.

Blogging: The Return

So, wow, I haven't posted in a long time. If I was better at time management maybe I could handle engineering courses, girlfriend, friends, family, video games, Warmachine, following European soccer, online forums, proper hygiene, and blog. But I don't, so I end up juggling those. Having said that, I am going to head to Oroboro for my first game in a good long while this Wednesday. It should be pretty amazing. Week after that I'll try my hardest to make it, but it could go either way. Next quarter I have no school on Thursday, which will be very convenient for my tabletop interests. :)

Some happenings I did not blog: I have expanded my force to 500 points. It now includes Widowmakers, 6 Winterguard, and a Winterguard Rocketeer. I have gotten to use them in one game now, and the Winterguard are really a great unit for my level of play. I've been told there's some new players at the LGS, so I'll e able to regain any lost tactics without getting wiped. I'll throw up a quick summary when I get home from that.
