pauare67 0 Posted February 20, 2011 Hi After about nine failed attempts, I finally won this afternoon. Gideon, Valencio, and Leon were all that was left of my marines with Valencio successfully activating the control panel in the Launch Room. I only had one token in the Launch Room, then rolled a ZERO! I was playing solo with six marines, cut down to three, all were surrounded by Genestealers. I had to depend on support tokens (from Support cards) to keep all three alive from the previous round. Finally, decided I had to take a chance and roll a dice to see if I could successfully activate the launch room. If I delayed any further to the next round, there would be more genestealers spawning on all three and I would never have survived the next round of attacks. Wow...great game!

Tyrichter 26 Posted February 25, 2011 Congratulations! I remember that feeling when I won my first solo game. At the end i won with 2 marines left (and I think, it was also launch room control), there were genestealers everywhere around... but the feeling. The feeling, when I threw the die and ended the game. Some people would feel cheerful. But not me. I felt, that this was pyrrhic victory. I felt guilty for all those good men I lost in combat. I felt sad for brother Zael, who was slain in the last few minutes of the battle. "Great victory for the Emperor," I thought. "But a sad loss for my space marines." I know, the box says "44% chance of mission success with 86% squad casualties". But I felt sorry for them anyway So, congratulations again, battle brother! And may the Emperor bless you on your future conquests! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
blumax1981 0 Posted March 10, 2011 Gratz, I am still trying for that first solo victory. I always lose half my squad in the first two rounds. Good going! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
