So this one is a long time coming. My brother got a game in vs. a poster I met on Reddit named Hector, whom I couldn’t manage to get MYSELF down to the store to play against so I enlisted my brother’s help. This is one of his fairly shorthand battle reports, and I’m pasting it in its entirety. Such as it were…

Game called.

Looks like the Beastmen had the Lizardmen's number this time. Looking forward to responses.

Play-by-play is always better first hand, but looks like you are right. The beastie boys had their number.
