Mission: Capture and hold one of three objectives for four turns. All spaced along a diagnol line along the length of the table.
Battle Highlights
1st turn:
Spilt up vanguard into two groups. Lord commisar leads 20 man unit towards closest objective with two hw teams taking up postions in nearby ruins. Remaining vanguard moves to engage DE Ravangers, venom and 1 raider attempting to flank my left. BT joins left flank while Vanquisher stays to my right. Only vanquisher fires at flanking raider and misses.
Enemy moves ravangers, venom and raider behind cover of ruins, Only four jetbikes are exposed to my vanguard in the open. Fully armed raider moves from building to building to get to my deployment zone on my right. Talos and escort of hellions follow in rearguard. Long range shots are made but no kills.
2nd turn.
Infantry on left opens fire and kills the four exposed jetbikes. Hw team fires onto reavers behind cover and kills two more. BT fires at venom through gap in the ruins but misses. One infantry sq moves up from the BT's right side and begins to head to center objective.
Vanquisher fires again, this time inflicting one haul point onto lightly armed raider. Remaining Hws fire and miss at armed raider. Right infantry unit runs and makes it to the nearest objective. Marbo is deployed ontop of ruins where the talos and hellions are hiding and inflicts a det charge; killing three hellions and causing one wound on the talos. STs make successful deep strike at objective in enemy deployment zone.
Enemy starts by charging reavers at HW sq and venom moves out to deploy Incubus withing assult range of infantry. Both sides annalihate remaining left flank guard. Lightly armed raider pulls back and heads for ST held objective while dropping off Archorn. Hellions assault and kill marbo while Talos continues to move slowly behind heavy armed raider on the right. Wychs are deployed near ST object but are out of firing range.
3rd turn.
Pulled My BT forward to rearguard running infantry squad that makes it to the center objective. Right flank guard encircle thier held objective. SW squad runs to center to reinforce. Vanquisher unable to fire due to no visable targets. Remaing HWs fire at and kill one reaver.
Valkyrie is deploed behind enemy lines and zooms to aide ST's.
Enemy lightly armed raider fires and misses at Valk. Deploys Warriors to reforce Wynches. Wynches charge and viciously decimate ST's, forcing two remaing to flee from combat. Second raider fires into lord commisar's unit and kills seven. Scourges deep strike behind right flank to try and shoot at Vanquisher, failing to wound.
Incubus's attack BT from the rear and wreck vechicle. Reavers fire into Lord Commisar's unit and assault; killing four. Hellions jump down from ruins and assault center infantry. Infantry retaliates and kills off enemy unit to much surprise. loses two men in the process.
Fourth turn
Catachan Scout squad comes out from hiding in ruins and shoots at heavy armed raider from behind. Double six on mult laser pens equals wrecked raider. Lord commisar's unit is joined by Platoon command squad for assult and successful kills reavers. One HW squad fires and kills two Incubus while the other fires upon scourges, killing one. Vaquisher h. bolter wipes all but one remaining scourge. Scourge fails moral test and flees off battlefield. SW sq fires and wounds another Incubus.
Center infantry turns sight on Archorn but to no avail fails to wound him. Valk opens lascannon and h. bolters into wynches, inflicthing massive casualties. Capuchans deploy and finish off wynches but are a few inches short of capture objective.
Sadly, before my enemy could make his move, Circumstances forced us to end early but not before he was allowed to move his archron to assult my center infantry and wounded four. The end result was one unheld, one contested and one held by me.
Victory by one point. It felt so gooooood.
