GAME 6 in the garage.

BT v Orks.  1500 pts.  Capture & Control with DoW.

Oh dear.

I lost and how.   My brother-F, seized the initiative.  Well that flummoxed me.  Zogwart trundled on and squigged my Marshal.... :(
Turn 2.
Lootas mowed down most of a squad and the Vindi lost it's gun.  My LC did well against the Killa Kan squadron.
Turn 3.
The Ven dread was immobilised.  The Vindi rammed a Buggy and blew it up ~ nice.
Turn 4.
Melee was joined but the horse had already bolted.  The game was effectively over.  I contested the one Ork held objective but no roll of 1 or 2 to bail me out with a draw.

What did I learn from my shellacking?
A]Never, ever leave ICs exposed, even if you get to force your foe back in deployment. B] Without my Marshal, my Crusaders struggled to kill the Eavy Boyz in droves, which further reduced Fearless casualties.
Other than that just a touch of bad luck really.  A] The Vindi losing it's gun even when I had popped smoke on T2 B] The Dread being immobilised ~ just when it was poised to Assault the Warboss + Mob.
My mistakes and a few unlucky rolls let the Orks start strong and simply carry there momentum.

Just one of those days. ;)
