N4 Battle Report - Acquisition - Varuna vs. USAriadna

Excited for the new fireteam changes, Nimlothaule and I threw down a game of ITS13 Acquisition. I dug out Varuna from the back of my PanOceania collection while Nimlothaule brought a classic Grunt link a try to see if that elusive +3BS is all that it's cracked up to be.

Ended up being a really fun game, really well played by my opponent and excited to get back into infinity after a bit of a hiatus. Check out the battle report here!

General Thoughts on Fireteam Changes: I really like them so far, gives me reason to paint and run cohesive links outside of just the "rule of cool".
