Total 1000 pts, 85 models - (83 men)
His Army Consisted of:
Belial
5 Deathwing Knights
5 Deathwing
3 Ravenwing bikes 1 with plasma Gun
10 tactical Marnines 1 with Plasma gun, one with plasma cannon.
MISSION:
We were playing Purge the Alien mission on a Dawn of War Map
SET UP:
I deployed my defence line in a horse shoe, backing on to a building to provide maximum protection. He the deployed his TM in a wood and RW behind a building.
I opted to deploy my 5 IS's as one unit, in so doing, limiting the number of VP's avaliable and set these up inside me defence line.
I deployed both command squads and HWs also inside the defence line. I then deployed the Chimmy the other side of the building.
THE GAME:
Turn 1
Having first turn my opponant opted not to move, instead firing his plasma cannon with the hopes of hitting my large and very tightly packed unit. Although I went to ground and thanks to my 2+ cover save, denied him any casualties.
Firstly Odering my men back into the fight, I then moved my chimmy at full speed, knowing that his DWK's and DWT would be appearing next turn, I decided to stay inside the defence line as this would offer me best protection. I shot my tank accros the board at the now visible bikes, and shot my HWS at the TM's both causing one causualty.
Turn 2
Belial with DWK dropped right into the one small gap in my defence line and the DWT arrived behind my Chimmy, with no other movement.
The DWT opened up with an assault cannon and blow my chimmy and the veterans inside to pieces. Belial and the DWK opened fire with storm bolters against my CCS killing my medic and wounding my Company Commander. While the Plasma cannon was once again fired, this failed to cause wounds thanks to going to ground.
I once again ordered my men back into the fight, and once again opened fire with everything I have at Belial and his unit, slaying all 5 DWK with a barage of HW and flashlight fire, in addition to the plasma and melta fire. Sadly my Vendetta with Vets failed to turn up.
Turn 3
Belial prepared to charge my CCS for a Warlord on Warlord show down, however in the interupting Shoot phase a lucky plasma cannon shot struck my Commander and I managed to fail not only my 4+ cover save having not gone to ground but also my look out sir, and thanks to instant death, he was varpourised along with a single guardsman from my main unit. Belial Charged the remaing CCS and wiped them out.
Once again my Vendetta failed to arrive. I turn and open up against Belial with my main unit, finally killing him with overwhelming flash lights in the eyes.
Sadly due to time this was where we had to finish. with 4 VP to me for eliminating 1 squad and his warlord and him recieving 6 for 3 eliminated squads and the Warlord and first blood. while it would have been posible for me to still win, it would have been exceptionly hard, with only 3 of his units remaining. But time did not allow.
DEBRIEF:
So, what is the point in my writing this, well I am hoping for some critique.
Firstly I think deploying as one unit was a mistake. While I thought, for this mission and objective it would work to my advantage, the lack of manoverability caused issues, as did being unable to select other targets for shooting.
I am very frustrated with my Vendetta not being able to use this at all. I also think it will be important to have a meat shield aroun my chimmy, particular at the back, for future games.
Any other suggestions or comments would be great.
