Saturday - Driven from the field of battle
A quick report from the first of three tournaments I will be going to in the next three weeks. This was in Waltham at Danger Planet, with my Dark Elf army.
I finished in last place, losing all three games.
One was against a kid who had a cheesy army, and once I accepted that it was a foregone conclusion, I had a small amount of fun.
The second (and best) game of the day was against a guy with a fair but powerful army, lots of knights. I started out strong against him, but he had some many units he was able to swarm around and attack me on several fronts, to which I had no real defense.
The last guy I gave up on turn 4 of 6. A third of my army died on the first few turns, and on the last turn I attacked with three of my units, and all of them did horrible and were run off the field. I could do nothing with what I had left, and quit. It was pretty poor sportsmanship on my part, but I was tired and didn't care.
Half an hour later, I was fine with it. I took my chances and was just very unlucky. I'll have a chance to try again next Saturday. It was only the last game that my dice were hurting me. I'll be trying a different version of it next time, as we will be able to field more points.
