Well, it seems like I forgot my camera again today, which was probably a good thing since the IT department was on the floor, and they take umbrage to unallowable tech. So a picture-less update. However, the notes I think are a bit better. Tom had some work to do today, so we kinda skipped him for now. We'll come back, though I forgot to tell him that he has a fan! This week saw some hard battles one of which is deceptively simple, and the other which was probably the bloodiest battle to date.
However, before we commence I do want to mention something. In this campaign, I find myself working as referee more often then not. I find myself being far more strict with the rules then I normally am. I'm not a WAAC gamer, never have been. However, I get really strict with the rules. Especially turn order and such. Forgot to move your ghouls? Tough. Forgot to have your opponent roll fear for the Troll? To bad, so sad. I think that part of it is that I am sick of having to tell them what they have to roll for everything. I mean WS 3 vs WS 4 is hit on a 5+ for the fifth time! The rule book is RIGHT THERE! I leave it at work so that everyone can look at, its in crap condition, so go ahead and borrow it! People of Astro, any ideas how to fix this situation?
Ah, well, enough of that. On to post battle sequence. This is the notes that I took during game play to help figure what needs to be done and what happened after the battle. I'll add a few notes as well.

A surprisingly close game, which came down to Rout Checks. Jim happened to fail his, but he also says that he would have won if he hadn't forgotten about some of his ghouls on the edge of the table and if he hadn't skipped the one movement phase by accident. This game is the first where Megan took significant losses, but however given her luck, she managed to keep just about everything in the post battle sequence.
