Game night

Warhammer: Saturday night was a game night at the Daily Planet. I showed up with the same list I took to the Hombre, and played two games.

My first game was against Mark Burr, and his Dwarves. I've always found Dwarves to be a fairly good matchup for my Elves, as their low mobility means they have trouble reacting to my dancing. Basically here, I was able to isolate a few units, hit them with multiple units, and avoid getting stuck in. Of course, the fact that Mark's Anvil killed itself first turn might have had something to do with it.

My second game was against Tom Dixon's High Elves. This is a fairly standard Cavalry heavy list. I parked all my magic far, far away from his Ring of Corin, and put a trap on one of his units of Cavalry. That went well, killing his big mage. However, things started to go south for me with that unit, as several things bounced off of it. In addition, I pulled a real bone-headed move, and ran my Treeman out in front of both of his bolt throwers. He dropped 11 wounds on it that turn, killing it outright. The game turned out to be a draw, with mistakes on both of our parts. I have classically had problems dealing with the super-fast Cavalry, but lately I've found them to be less obnoxious. Had I dropped my free forest, and run my Treeman in it for protection against the bolt throwers, I could see this as having gone a different way.
