A rough week from work = lousy play

Just a short post because this week has been rough (although in the current economy I should be happy both I and She Who Must Be Obeyed have great jobs with little chance of loosing them). Lost last week to Ben's beautiful Demon Army. Report and pics to follow. It was a cr@p day and I wasn't thinking well. As his Bloodletters tore through my Guard squads I counter charged with my Sisters...just feeding girls into the grinder. While we ended up almost mutually tabling each other he held more objectives through the game, so won on points.
A lesson I should not have had to relearn...Sisters shoot and use templates. Unless your going after basic Eldar, Tau, or I-Guard you wont win in close combat. 5s to hit and 6s to wound, followed by his 3+ saves just don't cut it. I should have used the extra turn and run while he was chomping on my Guard to set up kill zones while in cover to maximize the flames and rapid fire bolters, then take first swing when he charges me in cover (he has no grenades).
2-2-1 so far. Maybe my painting and Sportsmanship will get me into the finals.

Got more done on the garage-gameroom conversion. The walls are all painted and I've got a 10 foot section of base cabinets together, except for the countertop to tie them together.
Time to start moving junk into them and clear the floorspace.
4x6 or 4x8 game table?

I must get off my butt and do taxes this week. Last years "tax cut" wasn't really a cut...just a lowering of the with-holding amount. So the Feds take out less each paycheck, but your still on the hook for the whole bill come 15 April. I usually either break even or get back a few hundred. With the new with-holding schedule I'll probably end up paying 800 or 900 more.
Poop on a stick.
