Farewell5th ed. I got very very very, very very , very very drunk and wrote a list..after an epiphany that I hadn’t used cgras drop pods yet.

I rolled high, game is draw/ bases game on 12”in conventional (I might remember the convoluted names for stuff in 6th ed)
Forced him to go first, he set up in a phalanx tank wall.. I set up my preds diagonally opposite.
My stuff comes on piecemeal, with fair shots at stuff…but terrible penetration rolls. I land around him blocking
LOS and failing with my suicide melta troop choices.
He’s walled up tight in his castle wall shenanigans (I start moaning about him needing to play the game not the distance and to stick his balls out etc)..
The whole 24.3”s from my board edge so my multimeltas can’t smack him if they drive on, but he appears to forget he’s the stronger aggressor and random game length.
Hes dominating I’ve popped one vindie and lost all but 2 troop choices and preds (MM attack bikes he killed with thunderous rage/fear).
My termies scatter badly.. he sends mephiston god of combat into battle and kills a couple (loads of invulnerables smug mode).. I kick the god of wars arse.And I'm just perpetually stunning the furioso
Preds are still viable.. stormbolters on drop pods are kicking butt (they killed off a 5 man asm squad stunned 2 vindicators and stunned a baal..not bad) Melta is missing everywhere.
Termies make it to his base and camp out (overkill guys there whoops) My 5 man asm land on my base..he tries to contest by lurking beside me with gunless vehicles..
He kills my termies with ranged fire..
I land a 5 man +gabreiel ON his base.. my preds still viable and 5 man asm are on my base chewing up his baals that he’d sent to dodgems me roughly.
Game ends..I win..few hours later I start to sober up.
James lost with awesome list.
