Tic-Tac-Toe Practice

As of writing this article, it is less than a week from Northern Open 7 for which we have decided to go with objective missions not played before on the NO tournaments, or at least two of them weren't. Greg from The Plastic Crack Blog wanted to get some practice as did I, so we had a game of Tic-Tac-Toe last Sunday.

And I am glad we did because it really helped to try the mission and see what improvements our army lists could use. We both played Morats and it was a really fun game. We both had a Fireteam of Hungries but otherwise played different styles. I relied more on Vanguard Fireteam and HMG Remote, while Greg had Haris Fireteam of Yagoats and Sorogat Tempest Regiment to do damage.

The main thing we both took from the game was that you want to have EVO Hacker in the army because it gives all of your Specialists +3 for WIP to do Objectives, while the EVO is alive.

Greg won our practice game in the end by having one Objective more than me. His Sorogat took out all of my heavy weapons and then I couldn't kill it even after like three rounds of shooting it with Kornak in the open! The game was a proper bloodbath otherwise though, so many dead.

Greg did a timelapse of the game, plus some commentary about his army and paiting on Youtube:

I only took few photos during the game:
