DEBRIEFING

The capitolian player makes some terrible mistakes:
- The Great Grey Scout is very badly used... No carry ability uses, attack of a covered unit spending a great command card for no effects... A FATAL movement.
- No keep the distances from The Brotherhood (as a good capitolian general must act); besides, all the miniatures were dismissed since the beginning (a bad idea include only four units in a 5/5/5 game), without using the combined attacks.
- Half of the command cards can only be used by half of the entire army. Not such a bad average, but didn't work this time.
Besides, a really bad luck with the dices, and the "Heed the Word" & "Sniper Roost" combo, and the game was decided.

Exercise Report:

The excercise ended with a total victory for The Brotherhood soldiers. We've detected some lack of experience in Commander Furillo about guiding his comrades, making a dispersal maneuver totally unsuitable in this close terrain.
We've taken an special note about cadet Videla, as he didn't follow the orders, even transgress some of them (obviously driven by his anxiety of popularity), charging directly agaisnt Mortificator Severus, which had stop him on an unquestionably way. We will take disciplinary actions against the cadet, and his promotion request to Great Grey Fighter Pilot is automatically annulled.
On the other hand, the working rapport between the Davernel twins, and the oratory remarkeable skill of Inquisitor Scriptum it's obvious, even without the leadership of Severus, and we want to keep this situation.
We think Furello's soldiers have to do many training yet, so they take double training turn beginning tomorrow, as they have other exercise against the Kapitan Hauser forces in six days.

Anything else that's new?

VERY thorough report! Loved your MC fluff stuff at the end. Did you play online? If so, where, who, how? The map was nice.

Good luck on your next battle. You'll get 'em next time!

Thanks for the battle report, it was an interesting read !! The Brotherhood's Inquisitors are really powerful, and the compo Sniper Roost/Heed the Word was just vicious ! And in fact, the Capitol player made a great mistake when playing his Great Grey Scout... A Fighter would have been much better to be used as a fast attacker... The Scout id used for transport, VZ occupation, and not much else...

Hope you'll make another one of those battle reports !!

No, I don't play online, Nighthawk, all the stuff (if you download the map you'll see it in full scale) is home made (with graphic elements of the MC manual and the units on the catalogue)

Thanks for the luck, but... Well, I was the Brotherhood player, so my luck here was just fine.

For me, the bronze Inquisitor is the best bronze unit in the game, very solid and very diifficult to kill.

And yes, I'm glad to make reports like that (once you begin, is easier...)

Sort of a side note, but I LOVE the way you presented your battle report. The round by round and figure by figure commentary really paints the picture well of how the battle went. I only wish I could see the pic you included..is it only missing for me, or is the link broken for others as well?
