So our first Brennor's game took place between TetNak and myself on OCTGN.
TetNak was playing Ragnar Blackmane of the Space Marines, and I was playing Commander Shadowsun of the Tau.
Perhaps its was fate that the CGDB has Ragnar so much smaller than Shadowsun, because she dominated in this first game!
Tet's deck had a ton of big units, by the end game he had 2 Dreadnaughts and 1 Landraider in play but I had so many ranged units with Ion Rifles and other buffs going that it was obvious who was going to win. I'm getting ahead of myself.
We started up OCTGN with a bit of a glitch with Tet's deck but it was soon cleared up and we got started. I play some early Recon Drones and smaller units and he put out some Space Marine units like Ragnar's Sentinels. I won command on a bunch of early planets witch was a big help, and I was able to get my card search going early with my Earth Caste Techs.
No one had any Supports out for about three turns, then I ended up with two Ambush Platforms and my reducer, which was key, and he had a Promethum Mine that was slowing working for him.
During the commit your warloard part we avoid one another almost the whole game. I don't know if that was Tet's plan or not, but it was mine for at least the start of the game. Then I was actually looking for a fight with him since I had some units that were like 9 Att Ranged (Ranged get's to shoot first in a battle and can snipe big units). I nearly finished off one of his Dreadnaughts but he shielded just enough, still it was really hurt.
I kept winning enough command to keep me flush with cards and resources and my Supports were huge on letting me put out attachments at no cost.
The planets we were fighting over weren't too great for win condition icons, and we realized the game was going to be a long one, the best I could win was on planet 6 and for him it was planet 7 (which I learned by the way if a game goes to planet 7 whomever wins planet 7 wins the whole game).
The final fight I had about 10 units on planet 6 and most of his guys were sitting on planet 7. With a Ranged Attack, Area Effect 4, I wipes what he did have and the game was mine.
All in all I had a great time playing on OCTGN with Tet. We actually were on the phone with one another making the chat easy.
If folks check this game out, we could maybe set up a little Brennor's OCTGN League on there, play some swiss rounds and have a little bracket at the end. I've heard on a podcast that's happening, and seems easy enough to do.
