Atlach's Shipyard

  I finally got a game in against Empire. We ended up on Flanking Maneuvers, 2K points, on 4ft x 4ft. I also decided I would not be using the transport missile to clear out buildings, so that’s a bit of a house rule I guess.

A wave of Crown Steel Crown formed a brick of all the TANKS on their left flank, with the Mordreds on and the Bors behind their central hill. Spitfires were ready to engage from behind the tanks, and the Sharps were deployed aggressively to claim the objective.  Deployment after vangu...
