Nothing to report

No sign of him yet. I dont know what race he is, there havent been any explosions or laser fire.

I've been steadily moving down the left hand section, and a couple of times I've poked a sniper out to catch a glimpse of the playing area but I havent seen a thing. I'm hoping that he is not Mechs and doesnt have a scanner watching my every move. That would cause a few problems...

Oooh, a new map

Andurils game has drawn St Pauls, a map I havent played on before. I'm deploying in the Green area which consists of a large area top right, and a tiny deployment area top left. so small in fact that I almost missed it. For that reason alone Im going to deploy all my troops in that area, hopeing that Anduril also missed that section and will therefore be expecting me to appear from the other side of the map...

I'm going to be deploying Marines, and thats the only race I can take if I want to deploy in the top left, the area really is that small. I think its a pretty good choice for the map anyway as Snipers should be able to get some decent firing lines on this map

I've taken:-

I'll have to be careful where I use the Grenader as I obviously cannot rearm him....

The general plan is to move down the left hand side of the map under cover so that I can hopefully surprise Andurils troops by poppin out all of a sudden. Of course, that'll all go to hell if he is Mechs with a Scanner. I'll have to use some precious commander ammo to blast a way through the room on the left, as the only other way of me getting in is to walk out in plain sight.

Tricky Map

This game has pulled in CIty Block
Its a bit of a bugger for this comp since its HUGE and the 15 FP's will be very spread out.

I'm tempted to take Mechs, heavy on Hunters. Hunters are a bugger to hit, meaning that I can hopefully try to run down his ammo levels, and to make some quick Hit and Run sorties. The trouble is Hunters have low ammo anyway, and I have no HQ to reload them. Plus, if they run into a barrage of grenaders then they will be in serious trouble....

Decided to go for:-

General plan is to scout with the hunters, move the Scanner into a decent Scanning position and then see where that leaves me.....

1 Although this is reducing the amount of offensive units I have, I think the advance warning this unit gives me will make up for that

New Guerilla Season

A new season of the Guerilla League is now underway. I signed up at the very lat moment as I completely forgot about it....

Anyway, the Guerilla League is a player run competition managed by UglyToy. The basic premise is that you are allowed to take only Marines or Mechs, no HQ's and only 1 Commander or AI. you only get 15 force points to deploy and they are 15 day games so expect some fast and furious action.

Month one sees me playing Analprobe and Anduril. After a bit of a delay on my side these games are now underway. Expect to see the writeups for them here once they are complete!
