I love Nick's infectious energy in this video. It was clear James was getting frustrated / disheartened by the first 2-3 rounds and wanted to throw in the towel , but with Nick going out of his way to celebrate his own tank blowing up and offering James a high five it seemed to completely turn James around into having a good time. That's what this game & hobby is all about, and if I am able to ever play a actual in person game I hope its in a welcoming setting like this. Keep up the great work guys :)

@Admiralkirk95 9 ай бұрын

The guard seemed to have it, but the Orks kept that fighting spirit up and played (surprisingly)smart taking objectives. When the reinforcements arrived the rubble slowed them, but their hearts were still in the fight.... until they saw the last initial defenders die on the far objectives and a giant towering stompa to their right. Their charges, and hearts falter. The surprise fails and the men see the commanding control the orks have over the battlefield and run. Excellent play, glad he stuck it outside the abysmal start, but a few lucky moves(And unlucky ones from his opponent) and objective play earns him the last second turn around.

Pre-game prediction: I can't wait to see that Deathstrike missile do absolutely nothing. EDIT: Full fairness first, it forced James to move...because he didn't realise exactly how little damage it was going to do. He could have left his Stompa at home turn 1 and basically said "bring it on" to the Deathstrike, ate 3-5 wounds and ignored it for the rest of the game.
