Review: Chaos uses its mobile air troops to begin the harass.Later on Chaos squads pile into a Rhino troop carrier supported by deep strike squads.
Review: All too often, the initial skirmishes involves the NWs mass fighting Eldar's Dark Reapers mass.In mid tier 2, the combat rages on with Destroyers responding to Wraithlords spam and then anti-tank squads supporting the factions.
Review: Considering the huge size of this map, Chaos commanders and troops fast travels in the Rhino to take down the Necron's LPs.

Review: A short review just like this game where Chaos attacks with an early mass vs Nec mass.
Synopsis: A gauss turret is positioned at the north here to limit Sm's resource expansion.A couple of SM scouts begins the harass and takes on Necron Warriors.
Review: During T2.5(armored land and air support production), the NWs mass are barbecued to a crisp by IG's flaming tanks leaving a pile of crumpled Necron bodies out in the freezing snowlands.This would be the true end if it was any other faction's entire army left for dead but just like in GoT, the resurrection abilty gives the Necron another fighting chance.
Review: All that matters, Dark Eldar goes for the blaze of glory with primary and secondary commanders attacking together with warrior squads.
Review: DE dominating Necrons eventually leading to Necron's power farm in ruins by Wyches & Warp Beasts.
Review:SM opts to deploy the Knights out as soon as possible, later supported by plasma squads.A base swappage battle ensues where it is a race to who trashes the adversary's base first.
Review:IG tries a turret push and in t2, uses the Hellhound tanks, igniting the trespassing NWs.
