Tre train was delayed with 3 hours this morning. So we were 6 players stuck on a train risking to miss game one and basically loose all chances of getting a decent placement at the tournament.
We got hold of the organizers and they promised that if we were not more than an hour late we could play each other and at least score some points.
The train rolled in with a 15 minute window to their deadline. We jumped into cabs and actually got there in time.
Each game is 3.5h so there was plenty of time left in the first round even when we were 1h late.
I drew to play Marshal and his great looking wacky Tau army. Had not faced it before but I had a Tau army myself so I kinda know what they do. He won the roll for first turn. I deployed my portal raider in pretty good cover.
He still managed to blow it up turn one.
And then they failed their pinning test.
He then killed 2 out of the unit next turn and they failed their Morale test!!! Luckily they didn't run off the board. So a disastrous start, he also killed my Talos turn two... But I hung in there and managed to claw my way back into the game. I took out most of his Troops and got more objectives in the end. My better comp took it up to a 9.5-10.5 loss. I'm happy with that result after that start and it's never bad to get a drawish result game one.
