The enemy only saw the candle-like glow of Nocturnal eyes approaching in the darkness. The Salamander company known as the Hellbenders launch a surprise night attack on a group of renegade Catachan, rendering their long-range firepower useless and catching them with their "guard" down.
We drew a deployment zone that had zero distance between armies and shooting was reduced to 12" total... I felt bad for my opponent Jim, and offered to let him redraw one of the cards since he was playing Astra Militarium and my army blitzes forward with flamers. I felt like I had him on the back foot before the game started, but he thought it could be a good stress test.
Deployment was simple, I put almost everything on the front line. Jim stacked his troops in layers to speed bump me... but I rolled a 6 for the first turn and it was a short game for the Imperial Guard...
We got through my half of turn 2 and I had already killed most of his troops except for a blob of Bullgryns and I was smashing tanks with ease with my smash captain.
Despite the landslide, we both had fun game and I still love Open War.
