Yesterday, the monthly campaign meeting was taking place at our local hobby center, so me and Jesper figured we'd get a game in at the same time. I had challenged him earlier to an oil-match - a campaign connected game that only gives oil points (a form of credits); see full campaign rules here (.pdf) - and now we finally had a chance to face off.
Jesper's list is a monster. In a hobby center tournament a couple of weeks ago, he finished second with this list (I finished sixth), and only lost the top place because the time ran out. The list relies on speed and massed assaults rather than long range fire-power, and is ably backed up by loads of artillery and air power. In short, my prospects for winning didn't look good. My own list is very defensive and slow, so I was a tad worried that Jesper would concentrate on a part of my line and simply blast through it. I needed something to counter this, and I figured I'd try to trick him. Turns out I totally underestimated the speed his list was capable of.
We rolled up the scenario Fighting Withdrawal, with Jesper attacking me.
