hi all,
does anyone still play CP games? We've been playing a few around here to help some new guys learn the game and it's been a blast.
Most of our weekley games are 500 - 1000pnts, so as crons i'm kinda shafted for choice. we do play 1500-2000, but no half as much as we'd like, mostly due to time.
Combat patrol games are awesome, they're quick and way more fun that 500pnts. but the restrictions do make a huge differance in the armies.
I usually go scarab spam, and use 1 or 2 bug zapper lords whenever i can. CP games mean i can;t use lords or scarabs.
I was alwayd interested in wraiths, and the writh-wing style of play, and i love the wraith models. but they cost and arm and a leg.
anyways, here's the list i played:
10x Warriors - 180
3x Wraiths - 123
2x Wraiths - 82
total: 385 of 400 (404) our club rules are that you're allowed to go up to 1% over, but always try to get on or under the limit.
we played 2 2v2 games, switching teams each time.
game 1, me + blood angels vs tau + nids
basically we got out asses handed to us. neither me or my partener could roll a save (or wbb) if our lives depended on it. The tau player took a hammer head.
game 2, me + nids vs tau + BA
we kicked dyi, the wraiths just zoomed around the board getting a 1st turn charge on a tac squad. the small group went first, i lost both wariths, killed 4 marines, then i charged the full warith unit in, killing the remainder and not loosing anything as they've already spent their attacks for the turn. 1 wrauth got up, so i now had a 4 man squad, it then killed the Hammer head, and the DSing crisis suit and drones. The nid player killed a big bike squad that was zooming around.
anways, sorry for the long post. I was just wondering what other people's experiance with CP games has been like, and if i could get any list tips.
