I just played my 1st 1000 point game. My opponent went first and he killed my tank commander, my artillery, my bullgryn, my command squad, and tied up my last tank in engagement range. What can I do to prevent this when there is no obscuring cover and the board was so short he had 4in charges turn one? Is there any way to make my own cover? Any tricks to help my tanks survive turn one? Basically by my first turn I couldn't issue orders and all I had to shoot was two cadian squads, an infantry squad, and my Rogal Dorne could try to kill the guys around him. I got tabled turn two.

Did i even stand a chance when he had AdMech and ignored the light cover I could manage?
