under estimate?

anyway, after a few days of pestilence i finally recovered enough to deem myself capable of entering an air conditioned room and rapidly click and press alot of buttons on a keyboard. well. yea.
a number of battles took place but the one i'll be referring to now is know as "The GREAT One" well. for starters, i must admit, i vastly underestimated my opponents. as a result, i made several mistakes in the beginning, experimented with some new tactics and all in all, i was rather sluggish. the wierd mouse helped alot in the sluggish-ness. anyway, tt was at the start. but it was enough to make me pay dearly. by then it was pretty much too late. we and my team mante lost the initiative. we were defending. never attacking. eventually, i got crushed and sandwiched. i admitted defeat. it enjoyed the game alot. but it affected me in a sense that the loss was ultimately my fault. so i resolved to strive for the epitomy of tactical genius as demonstrated by the Primarch of the Ultramarines, Roboute Guilliman.

This conflict was known as "The Last One"
same teams but different outcome. rapid build order, quick mobilization of forces, sudden strikes, quick infantry reinforcements coupled with vehicle and artillery support destroyed enemy forward positions. my ally was playing a defensive battle but he had the upper hand.
a practical combination of heavy weapons ensured that all enemy infantry would be reduced to shreds before they could attack.

Deploy the elites in the middle of the first base when he is at his weakest and utterly destroy it.

second was trickier. i attempted to flank the base but the narrow gorge was a choke point and the enemy did well to hold it. i was driven back with my infantry mostly dead. thankfully, my tanks survived so i was not all vulnerable. they held off the initial surge of enemy infantry. infantry was quickly requisitioned. the base was very well defended. it would take at least two waves. first wave destroyed half the base by means of deploying troops by means of drop pods. very crucial but a suicide mission nonetheless. the damage was done. he charged infantry and tanks at my armour outside his base. combined with off map orbital bombardments, my force prevailed. second wave. send in scouts to investigate best site for drop. immediate deployment of troops by means of drop pods combined with an armour charge ended the battle.
so yea. my side won. lol.

on a side note. i was reading some random cards i got and i wonder what happened to the booking? hmm.
