Secondaries: Oaths of Moment, We March for Macragge, Behind Enemy Lines
Takeaways & Analysis:
This game was a lot closer than our last meeting. Matt got screened out a lot on his deep strikes but still managed to pop the Deff Dread in to my deployment zone in the very corner. He was able to score a lot out of the Behind Enemy Lines secondary because I hadn't quite screened it perfectly. Meanwhile, he kept a lot of his units back in his deployment zone, so while I didn't score at all with Behind Enemy Lines, perhaps the threat did tie up his forces.
Matt also did a good job hitting my squishy Tac and Devastator squads with his melee heavy units this time and avoided the terminators head on. This allowed me to control the center and score a lot for Oaths. But the points were very close.
I messed up and didn't make use of the new We March for Macragge rules which now let you score in your own deployment zone too.
The hero of the game was Brother Sergeant Nero - who survived the Kommando assault that took out his Devastator squad - he made a tactical withdrawal to take out the bigger threat - the Deff Dread, who he felled with his power sword, and then he was still fighting as the DeffKoptas loomed. He will forever be remembered!

| +++ Brother Sergeant Nero - break off and destroy priority target Deff Dread! +++ |

| +++ Understood sir +++ |

Final tally was just a slight victory for the Ultramarines 60-56.
