The meat of it was a 2 and a half hour game where I tried out the marine contingent, replete with those shiny new terminators of his... a fair bit of knife edge tension and a few changes in fortunes, the likely outcome wasn't clear until the last couple of turns. Great fun, it has the edge on Space Hulk for me, maybe it's the added complexity.
It was in theory a two game mini campaign type of thing, but the second game was over with the turn of a card (my marines, narrowly triumphal in game one, got to the objective with no genestealer blips to get in the way).
Thanks for the game! I'm sort of imagining your guys finding the secondary objective in, like, a bio-broom-closet just off the room the primary objective was in.
It really was a lot of fun, though - I'm basically pleased with the way balance looks at the moment and will probably want to play a few more games before doing much more tweaking.

Auxryn and I played a second game after the very brutal first one, and eked out a win, on a 1 in 3 chance with 3 terminators left to face a most-likely-brutal couple turns before they could try to end the game again if they'd failed. Seems fun, and it's got me all interested in shelling out for the Warhammer Quest card game, which is apparently similar but much deeper.
