My opponent ran a mech vet army along with a hydra flak cannon squadron, a devil dog and a vendetta gunship. This was going to hurt as I knew my own flyers were in for some chop.
The game was very evenly balanced all the way through. I managed a coupe of early wins blowing up a demolisher and wrecking a chimera with my stern guard but making the fatal mistake of going to ground with the sternguard for the return fire which prevented Lysander running on to the central objective and beating up gunner sgt harker and his vet squad. As it worked out I shot them off the objective any way but as guard do another vets squad disembarked to hold the objective.
The game saw my opponent fail no less than 4 dangerous terrain test immobilising 4 tanks.
Most notable points of the game. Sly mambo turned up in my back field who threw a demo charge at a lone tac marine who simply head butted it away then gunned down Marbo (with the help of my dreadnought :)
The game came down to the last throw of dice as my opponent decided to tank shock me off my home objective with the 2 hydra tanks. Lining up his tanks he moved the, both into position. My sgt with his krak grenades stood tall in the name of the high lords. He was squished mercilessly. Then came the roll for the dangerous terrain test. Boom a 1!!! One of the tank ground to a halt and I was still on the objective. Nail biting stuff but I had won by the skin of my teeth.
Result: victory

Great write up mate. Wish I could have got a game of Blood Bowl in those boards were very cool. Need to learn that game as it sounds fun to play over a beer.
