bring the lucky one to win it i can understand why some people are saying fireball is op at such small games, as it certainly helped me out in all 3 games, wiping out units or bringing them down so i could finish them off with shooting.
and seeing as how I threw that list together at the beginning of the night, I did pretty well considering.
another thing was who I played, the skaven Gareth, who was rusty and didn't have enough rats in my opinion, then the dwarfs under Simon who where too small in unit numbers, and then Steve with his Brettonians, who once I had removed the 20 archers, I led his knights on a merry dance with my 5 shadow warriors while my archers and Mage blasted away. i believe over the course of the night my fireball spell killed about 60 guys, and only miscast twice the first time kill 1 of my own archers, the other time turn off my Mage by removing his magic level (different games).
speaking of shadow warriors scouting skirmishers are very powerful at this game size as well, as there isn't much that can stop them my 80pts unit of shadow warriors blocked marches, killed the dwarf cannon, led Knights in a dance and killed about 200pts worth of models over the course of the games.
in the end i just got very lucky, but i'll admit fireball helped a lot.
and to think i almost went with lore of shadow, that would have been a different evening if I had taken shadow instead.

standard deffwing tactic: rush fast and hit like a runaway freight train with a rocket booster on the last carriage...
remember kids, never trust an ork who shows his teeth
