Game #1: Spearhead, Kill Points, Table Quarters, HQ in the center

Heavy: Devastator Squad, 3x missile launchers, 1 Multi-Melta
Points: 1500
Lance was a fun but quiet opponent. We had a fun game and enjoyed the way he was schooling me on how to keep terminators from getting grouped up where plasma cannon could do lots of damage. We went a full 7 rounds and in the end I only had a Rhino left while Lance had 1 units, his HQ and 1 Devastator squad member left alive. Lose 0-3

Game #2: Dawn of War, Kill Points, Objectives, Kill Marked Unit
Opponent: Michael

Elite: Ironclad Dreadnought

Michael was a fun player and allowed me to take advantage of some early mistakes he made moving his Dreadnought in the wrong directions and I was able to destroy both of them with my obliterators. After a long 7 turn game I managed a 2-1 victory.

Game #3: Pitched Battle, Kill half opponent, objectives, getting into enemy deployment zone
Opponent: Antony

Antony just plan schooled me in this game. At the top of turn 3 I was down to 1 Oblit and 4 Plague Marines. Antony was a fun opponent and we had a good 25 minute game. After that I took Sara (my wife) out for dinner and enjoyed the rest of my evening. Lose 0-3
