Holiday 4 way

[Hive Bahamut]

So we had a 4 way the other day between Space Wolves with the Santa sled, Grey Knights with a Knight Baron and Ad Mech/Skitarii and my Eldar. 1500 points

The scenery was built so the short table edges were closer together but LoS was harder to draw and the long way had less intervening but a longer distance.

My Wraithknight didn't make the list because he lost a fight vs. A Toddler. So instead I just stuck my lone Wraithguard in their Serpent.

Whole battle summed up: Eldar were pincered by Knights and Wolves, with Ad Mech/Skitarii pot shotting anything close.

I immediately regret not having a LOW vs. Logan and a Knight barring down on me.

Needless to say TWC destroyed my transports (Eldar Mobility is (please do not swear) in a pincered scenario.) I thought all was lost. Then Logan Charged my Wraiths, who had failed guide AND prescience and snap shotted one 6. Followed by another 6. Goodbye Logan. They stumbled up about 4" in my movement phase with 4 remaining and continued to bring the BIG D to the Imperial Knight revealing another 6 destroyer hit. Poof. 2 LOW gone in the cycle of a turn.

I end up crawling out of my corner and flat out my farseer on a bike and 3 remaining jet bikes onto 2 different objectives.

I win the game 8/7/7/4.

Needless to say my Wraiths are getting some much needed TLC.

Easily the biggest turnaround I've had.

That's the answer! Train small children that WKs are evil and must be smashed!! Take said children along to tournaments.

Also, unfortunate thread title. Sounds like a porn holiday "special".

Well this is in the wrong topic for one.. It looks like I went on a drunken rant more than anything. Who let's me use this technology totally bollocksed?

Sorry guys what a terrible post. Way too much Rum and eggnog + 40k =... ?

Moral of the story: don't be that guy and post a report that makes zero sense then title it after a Christmas porn.

[cypheon]

oh, no, the post made sense, and the title got people to click on the thread....

we're just unhappy that you're bragging about infantry-portable str D weapons carrying the game for you after a horrible start and a worse deployment layout, knowing fullwell it would have taken 1000 of the 1500 points in casualties for nids to get out of that pincer by turn 3

[blackrainbow]

And yeah, we've all been there. Even if we didn't post it.

As someone who also plays space wolves, grimnar on his sled is a bit points heavy but BEASTLY.

Last true apoc game I played(8 players, 4000 points each, imperial v xenos), grimnar was the xenos team's first blood kill. But he only died after LITERALLY tanking every single weapon the xenos players had in range(orks, necrons, tau, CSM all with at least 1 superheavy vs Grey Knights, Sisters of Battle, my wolves, and Guard). So, being the only entire unit to die in a whole game turn in 12000 v 12000......yeah, my team was thrilled. Not sure why the opponents were so scared of him lol. Especially cause I also was running a 4 knight baronial court detachment(two knights being forgeworld).

Good times.

THAT game, imperials won by a score of like 48 to 44 despite trailing every single game turn except first and last.

How does that work with Assaults using 3 different players?
Split attacks like you would with multiple units I guess.

Man I was hoping for a 40k themed NSFW

Players on a "team" make charges at the same time. Then strike at initiative. Multi-assaults don't work too badly in multiplayer. Stuff like hammer of wrath is base to base contact so fairly straightforward.

With the 8 player game for example, each team of 4 just shared the assault phase like a single player.
