Lol, this is probably a first but I have half a battle report here... my friend had to leave halway through but the game is still set up and we are gonna be finishing it this week.
I'll give you guys the first 2 turns so far and if you want then you can suggest any further ideas, when I finish i'll post the rest of the report here as well
We had a short set-up about 4.5 feet by 4 feet filled with craters and barricades with a sandbag bunker in the middle (closer to my side )
He went first and had all 4 of his 10 man marines squads move and run towards me while his vindicator moved 12 inches up. He had a defiler lobbing battle cannon shots into my grouped up guardsmen in the corner but my 'inventive' cover tactics gave them all 3+ cover saves.
I started my turn by moving up my command squads and opening fire with the basilisk, which missed horribly and hit my cat...(scattered 12 inches) I mowed down 4 marines with my autocannon heavy weapon squad. Leman Russ hit a couple of marines. My guardsmen alternatingly fired and moved up through cover.
2nd Turn
His Land Raider sped forward and desposited a chosen squad and his Lord in the sand bag bunker, which proceeded to toast an entire squad of my guardsen with 3 flamers (AGH!) His Vindacator blew up my leman russ. His marines all ran up further towards me. Defiler was just as ineffective as before.
My sentinals outflanked behind the vindicator and opened up with multi lasers, shaking and immobolizing the vindicator. my basilisk started blasting his marines as well. All my squads opened up on the marines in cover, 1 command squad with plasma guns and the main one with storm bolters. My third cmd squad detonated his land raider with with 4 meltaguns (tee hee) but he left before we could see how many chosen got hit by explosion... (they were piled in the doorway had rolled 1 inch into cover)
Ok got 2 more turns done... My friend horribly dislocated his arm at a wrestling tournemant and was unable to play long because of the pain... (He considered taking painkillers as "poisoning his body"
Needless to say... his chosen squad proceed to completely wipe out 3 full squads of troops with flamers and then slaughter another in close combat... His other squads opened fire at maximum range killing killing off my command squads and my heavyweapon squads.
My sentinals succeded in shaking his vindicator again... Basilisk still has not gotten a single kill, it keeps on scattering into the middle of nowhere... My SO and the 2 remaining plasma gunners routed off the field... (I claimed they went to get help or something thus counting as a win for me ) My last 2 squads ran right up to the chosen and rapid fired... killing one of his guys and 2 of mines
The next turn his flamers once again toasted the squads... leaving me with a shaken basalisk and 2 sentinals as my remaining army before he left... We argued for a bit but he has agreed to continue the fight in order for my vehicles to somehow redeem themselves (Please somebody give the prayer of accuracy lol)
The battle is effectivly over so your chastisement over the needless waste of life of my guardsmen can begin...
Ah... finally decided to just pack everything up... I stepped on my friends Soul Grinder so many times I have cuts up and down the sides of my feet... And I had to glue it back each time...
