Turn 1 Strategy: Raven Guard Start of Game  Start of Game  The Thunderhawk and Assault Marines engage the left flank. Matt worried so much about the drop that he forgot about the Thunderhawk.  The combat goes for two rounds. The Assault Marines loose two stands and all but two Basilisk are destroyed.  The Whirlwinds retain and fail.  |

The Russ company goes on Overwatch and the Predators double on the Sentinels, destroying one.  The Sentinels attempt to marshal but fail and break.  The Strike Cruiser arrives, the barrage places 1 BM on the Russ.  The Supreme Commander hits dirtside and hacksdown another Sentinel.  The Tactical Marines re-roll their scatter and deploy into the building.

The Russ use their overwatch and take two Marines down.  Land Speeder 1 arrives on the IG left flank.  Land Speeder two uses a few re-rolls to keep them all away from the Shadowswords.  The Sentinels use their Overwatch and destroy a Land Speeder. (Just caught this, I don't think they were allowed to overwatch on the planetfalling Speeders, correct?)  The Terminators drop down right on the Russes flank.  |

The Shadowswords double and fire on the Predators, all three miss.  The Supreme Command doubles and fires on the Sentinels, placing a BM.  The Storm Troopers march to an objective.  The HQ advance on the Assault Marines and place a BM.  End of Turn All of the Raven Guard rally, except for the Terminators which I forgot to roll because the BM was hidden by the building. The HQ, Artillery and Storm Troopers fail to rally. |

Wow.  That first turn was rough on the IG.  The triple miss with the Shadowswords against the Preds ended up leaving the Preds to wreak havoc.  The multiple criticals later in the game didn't help, either. One thing - the Planetfalling Speeders don't trigger OW when they land.  Drop Pods do because they are technically dismounting from the pods and have an on-board movement.  Just landing does not. |
