Daily Chronicle: "DraganCon I" Saturday 3/28/2020 Recap

Day 2 of "DraganCon I" was yesterday, Saturday March 28th and we veered a little bit from our original schedule.  On ur schedule was suppose to be a 2000 point game of Warhammer 40,000 followed by a 1000 point.  We ended up starting the day with the 1000 point and ran a bit longer than expected (since we were watching the Games Workshop Preview show) that instead of doing a 2000 point game afterwards, we played a game of X-Wing instead later in the evening.

Our first game of of the day was Warhammer 40,000, 1000 point of Astra Militarium (Imperial Guard) vs Salamanders (Space Marines).  It has been a long time since I broke out my Imperial Guard and was kind of nice seeing them on the table again.  We played the mission "Front Line Warfare" from Chapter Approved 2019 with a "Search and Destroy" deployment zones.

My Imperial Guard were not hitting as good as what my Imperial Fists usually do (hitting n 4+), but I think the shear number of models overwhelmed the Salamanders.  'Vulkan' and a unit of 'Terminators' were really the only threat my IG had and it was big threat.  They came smashing through my right flank but it was a bit too late for them and I was securing a lead with Victory Points.  The end result was a 17-7 win for the Imperial Guard after Round 5.

Once we put these armies away, like I mentioned above it was getting late already.  We decided to get the table ready for X-Wing and start playing once dinner was done.

We both decided to build a new Hyperspace list (we kind of had too since all of our old lists have changed) and Hyperspace seems to be the go to norm now for tournament games (Hyperspace cycles through available cards you can use throughout the year).

I played a Scum list with Boba Fett, Fenn Rau and a Zealous Recruit while my son played the Rebel Alliance with Luke (of course), Han and a Blue Squadron Escort.  This was a close battle bit not having any shields on Fenn and the Zealous Recruit really hurt especially when their abilities kick in when they are in their opponents faces.  Boba Fett held his own and almost finished of Han Solo (but left him with 2) and the Scum lost to the Rebels 86-314.

For Sunday we are hoping for 2 games of Warhammer 40,000..... for sure we are getting in 1.
