Little over a month later, and we were back at it again today. This time around was a 650 PV game of "King of the Hill". Our fourth player didn't make it, so we went with a three way free for all. Was myself, my stepson, and fellow forum member koalabirb. We got about three and half hours of game time in before we had to call it quits, but the game probably wouldn't have gone much more by that point (at least not for me anyway :-\ ). A good time was had by all, and that is the important part. I look forward to another round next month!
Quick game recap (photos attached):
We deploy onto the field with no combat to start. Turn 1 hits, and the fun begins. koalabirb drops one of his two VTOLs on to the hill (the crater in the photos) with battle armor in tow. He scores first points for controlling the hill at the end of the turn. Turn 2, I move my Wraith into the crater, and with a little fire support, clear the area and score some points at the end of the turn. It got messy after that. Turn 3 my stepson moves his Nightsky into the crater, and the hill is contested from there until the very end. It's also here that koalabirb and I have some of our units get distracted in a battle near the river. That comes backs and bites us later.
Second post to follow with remainder of the report and photos.
