Lol. Yeah certainly unorthodox to play your Hellions like that, but it payed off really well I must say...
I rolled the Warlord power where you can redeploy units. It helped me redeploy some units out of sight of his broadsides, for if he would seize initiative. Which he didn't.
I always choose Strategic table and then I hope for Nightfight power or Move Through Cover on all units. The 2nd one if even better.
