Mission: holding an objective would score one point per turn




Deployment:








Turn 1:



Psychic phase is overlooked by eldar player - farseer + Jetbike cause about 8 casualties to platoon 2 from jetbikes.
Guardians kill 2 from PCS 1
War walker on right fires at Platoon 1 killing 5
war walker on left heads toward guardian position (not marked on map by error)
Swooping Hawks go into ongoing reserves
Avatar advances


guard player advances, uses divination though this is nullified,
platoon 1 is give order which ignores cover and fires at avatar scoring 4 wounds.
MoO scores direct hit on guardians killing them all






Turn 2:



psychic phase Doom and Guide Farseer and Jetbikes vs Platoon 2 causes about 18 casualties
war walker on right fires into platoon 1 causing about 3 casualties
Swooping hawks wipe out PCS 1
Avatar advances into guard and begins close combat; causing 4 casualties
the other war walker moves to objective 1 (not marked on map by error)







out of time for guard player though end is nigh!


eldar scored 7 + line breaker
guard scored 5 + first blood





(the maps would make more sense with casualty markers - i forgot)

Wow! So the Doom and Guide made the Eldar squad cause over double casualties..

You need to encourage the Eldar player to use the psychic powers every phase. That's super devastating.
