BAO Old World GT 2024 Round #5 Scott Tomb Kings vs. Eli Bretonnia

Here is a battle report of table #3 from Round #5 of the 2024 BAO Old World tournament.

This year I attended the BAO on day 2 and just spent the entire day filming. I noticed that on YouTube there isn't a lot of video content for highly competitive Old World games, and I thought people might want to see some high end tournament-level play. Filming in a tournament is tricky because the players are very focused and you're also on a strict time limit, so I did what I could given the constraints (there were not a lot of opportunities to pause the action to film live dice rolls). Please let me know what you think of the format or if you have any suggestions!
