One point though it looks like you did an Heroic Move at the end of Turn 6??
Yeah, I always ponder whether I should stick to the exact way we play when I write them up. The heroic move actually came (as it should) right at the beginning of the turn, but I didn't bother mentioning it until the photo came up, which does make it look like we did it right near the end! Sorry for the confusion!
We used to take photos as things happened, but it took all day to do the battle and photos and write ups etc. So now we usually play our turn, making notes as we do things, then after the turn is finished and before we remove casualties we move around the board taking photos of everything. Then we finish it off with a shot of the whole board.
It's much faster that way for us to play, but it does mean that the shots we take at the end don't accurately represent the order of play of the turn itself. So most of the apparent inconsistencies between the game and the description of it are because of this. It makes for a less accurate report, but it's WAY easier, quicker and more fun to actually play!
As for those mentioning priority, my brother is an awesome sport. If you flip through all of our games and just scan who wins priority you'll see why I've been on a winning streak.
9/11 went my way this time. 4/7 last time (that's not so bad I guess). 5/6 the game before that...
It really is nasty to have the priority rolls go against you that much. Especially when they're consecutive turns. I'm starting to think we almost need to add a +1 modifier to your priority roll each turn that you lose priority!
Can't wait for the new monster rules, but am a bit scared about the Hasharin getting new heroic actions too! I'll tell you what, if I didn't work so hard to keep his Hasharin separated, a few of them in a fight together are NASTY!
