Interesting post. Being a fairly new 40K player, I have been in that position of my opponent rushing the game to their advantage. In the rush, I make more mistakes or overlook advantages. On the flip side, I was in a small, local tourney and my opponent was slow to setup and slow to execute his turn. When time for the round was called, we had only played 3 complete turns. My BA Furioso in a Drop Pod did not make its reserve roll in the 3rd turn. According to the tournament rules, my opponent was rewarded the points for an elite and dedicated transport. Those points cost me the difference between 2nd and 3rd.
