lets get it on!!!! FIGHT!
space wolf left flank: land raider w/ ulrik, his pupil (a wolf guard battle leader) and a squad of wolf guard in terminator armor), a rhino (full of space wolves w/ logan grimnar), a dreadnought (assault cannon/ccw)
vs.
B. Co. right flank: the madman formation (2 chimerae of grenadiers (2XPG, F/GL) & a hellhound for that all-loving block of AV12, a line squad (PG/HB), an AT squad (2xLC, ML), & a remnant squad (MG).
space wolf center: ven dread (assault cannon/ccw)
vs.
B. Co. center: command squad (2xGL) and conscript platoon (F), line squad (HB/F), command hq squad (mortar, standard, master vox, heroic senior officer), AT squad (3xLC), & sentinel (multilaser).
space wolf right flank: 2x long fang packs (2xPC/2xHB & 2xPC/2xLC, sergeants w/ power fists), rhino of grey hunters (plasma & powerfists), landspeeder tornado.
vs.
B. Co. left flank: 2x leman russ demolishers (PC sponsons, hull LC, heavy stubber), basilisk (completing the madman formation), 2x line squads (HB/sgt w/ stormbolter/GL & ML/GL), & command squad (2xPG, medic).
on my right flank, I advanced and was unable to crack the nut that was his mechanized assault I lost a chimera to enemy fire. a couple lascannon blasts must have damaged the track guard on the landraider, however, because when it tried to come down off its hill, the track guard caught and caused the behemoth to throw a track and become immobilized! (random vehicle immobilization due to terrain - no rough terrain mods?! I don't leave home without em!)
on my left flank, his landspeeder swooped in and dumped its assault cannon into a leman russ to no effect.
his dreads began to bear down on me and I realized the neccessity of stopping them - "Focus Fire on the Dreads, halt their advance!" Captain Knoll voxed out to the platoons.
(I like to call this next one OMG GUARD FIREPOWER!)
my right flank: my second chimera went down (I love advancing infantry behind a wall of steel - no casualties to my grenadiers), hellhound unable to shoot
, but my heavy guns cut loose and blew the assault cannon off the dreadnought before knocking out essential systems that enabled it to move, rendering it immobilized and basically gun-less. destroyed the rhino logan grimnar was riding in. enemy dismounted with his terminator squad and made a strong charge up the field with ulrik the slayer and his wolf guard battle leader pupil at the lead - this'll get messy was my thought.
my center: went defensive and let my armies bigger guns immobilize the venerable dread bearing down on me. 2 dreadnoughts stopped, mission accomplished! now it's just a matter of paying a toll of one glancing hit per turn to the dreadnought (anything either removes a gun or stuns) to allow for free reign of moving unhindered in the center of the battlefield.
my left: long fang lascannons open a demolisher like a can opener to a can of soup BOOM! wolf scouts show up and know just where to hit my basilisk with that meltagun, BOOM! all of a sudden my heavy support is looking like a fireworks factory of death! took out his landspeeder tornado however, and a long fang or two as well as a kasrkin squad arriving to ensure successful destruction of his rhino full of grey hunters BOOM! cacklecackle 
my right flank: ulrik and his boys start climbing over the wreckage of one of my burning chimerae, I fall back and unload on them, killing a few valuable terminators (all of which are kitted for melee and don't even carry a gun - I'm getting scared now and realizing this battle is going to likely devolve into me gunning my enemy down as he crosses the length of the field on foot trying to sweep my battle line from my right to left flanks - a good thing because I can split my center and make it a long march of death for him!). my hellhound is immobilized (and kept shaken for the rest of the battle).
my center: some shooting from my left flanks autocannon battery keeps the venerable dreadnought on lock down - no shooting for him! I begin to split my forces in preparation of the inevitable collapse of my right flank.
my left flank: my second kasrkin squad arrives and unloads into the grey hunters climbing out of the wreckage of their destroyed rhino, the wolf scouts destroy my last leman russ demolisher and prepare to face the fury of my platoon of angry guardsmen who've just gotten done thrashing a long fangs pack. the last couple long fangs move away, charging the kasrkin squad that was first to poke their heads up and unload into the grey hunters rhino and a melee ensues. more long fangs die in the second long fang pack to guard rifle fire as well as a good few of the grey hunters who're climbing out of the wreckage. they break and fall back.
my right flank: the assault hits, and I lose 17 grenadiers to the carnage that is ulrik the slayer and his wolf guard terminator bretheren, blood soaks the ground and they press in to assault the next unit - I'll get one more volley into them before the flank collapses, better make it count! shooting forces logan grimnars squad of wolves to take cover behind the wreck of a rhino which'll stall their advance for the briefest of moments. logan grimnar detaches from the wolves and charges headlong forward eager to catch up with Ulrik.
center: dread takes a volley of autocannon hits which do the trick in buying me safe movement thru the center of my lines.
my left flank: the space wolf squad is annihilated, the surviving long fangs take cover behind the wreck of the downed landspeeder, and I begin to hunt wolf scout! the melee vs. the powerfist wielding long fang pack leader bogs down, and the second kasrkin squad begins to move into support (I forgot to move them so they um yeah, had a secret mission to complete that took them a round ...yeah..).
the guards retributive volley of death takes down all the wolf guard terminators but ulriks pupil, who even catches some rounds that bloody him up. ulrik gets hit center mast with a lascannon and is turned into a pair of boots and gloves with a cloud of red mist all over. ulriks pupil, enraged, charges the mass of guardsmen, logan grimnar clambers up on top of a burning chimera and howls in rage, calling for a retreat.
my second kasrkin squad finally reinforces the dwindling first squad, and proceeds to get scattered by the old wolf and swept - he finishes off the first squad while he's at it - the old timer feeling the frenzy one last time before his time comes. he hears logans howl and heads for the hills with the two surviving long fangs who'd taken cover behind the burning wreck of the landspeeder.
end of the day, I had a full platoon, & my autocannon battery
on my left flank, my sentinel and lascannon battery in the center, and my command hq, conscripts (beaten but hanging in there), a couple line squads, a remnant squad, a special weapon squad, and an AT battery still hanging tough on my right flank.
a solid victory for the guard!
