It was table quarters, 4 objectives. 3 objectives were placed on the left side of the board in a large triangle formation, with the 4th deep in his deployment quarter.
He deploys all 3 punishers in the middle with straken and his plasma vets chims. Vanquishers in a forest, eradicator behind it, both melta chims camping his objective.
I deploy nothing and opt not to steal.
IG T1
--------
Everything moves up. Vanquisher immobilizes itself. Nothing much else.
Me T1
--------
Notta
IG T2
--------
Everything moves up again. Pops smoke.
Me T2
---------
I get 1 squad of
AM's in and a speeder.
AM squad combat squads, half (2x melta) DSes RIGHT behind his melta chim in the back corner. The other half DSes off to the right of them, behind the ruin there. Speeder hides behind a building out of
LOS of his entire army.
Shooting sees me pen and blow off the
ML from the vets chim (bleh :( )
IG T3
--------
Marbo comes in and he places him in the top left corner building. Everything else moves up some, hes now controlling 3 of the 4 objectives!
Shooting sees my melta combat squad go to ground and I lose everyone but 1 melta. He shot a LOT of stuff at this squad
lol, even disembarking 1 melta squad. He also moves just over 6" in a chim so can't shoot my speeder (was the only thing that could see it).
Me T3
---------
everything else comes in whoopie! Both ravens turbo into the middle of his parking lot. Both speeders move on 12" to blast strakens ride. My other squad of
AM's combat squads, the melta half going after marbo, the other half dropping in the bottom left corner behind the ruins.
Movement sees my 5 man combat squad move up to punchface his meltavets, my other speeder moves up 12".
Shooting sees my ravens put down the plasma vets chim (killing 7 inside!), they pass pinning, and 1 punisher. Both speeders fire and only manage to stun strakens ride. My last speeder stuns the mounted meltavets ride. My melta combat squad shoots the hell out of marbo, but he goes to ground (stupid 2+ cover!). My top right combat squad shoots the melta vets, killing 3.
In assault I dominate the meltavets on his objective, but due to fail rolling, don't quite get into cover :( My
AM's gonna get blasted!
IG T4
--------
Its go time for the
IG! With everything on the board now, he prepares to lay the hurt on me.
His other meltavets disembarks their stunned ride and go to shoot my combat squad. His vet with his
ML missing turns around and moves 6". His eradicator and vanquisher take aim at the ravens, as do the punishers. Straken hides in his ride.
Shooting sees his plasma vets, eradicator, AND vanquisher all shoot my red raven, causing it to wreck. The terms inside get pinned :( His meltavets blast and kill all my top right combat squad except 1 dude; who subsequently books it cuz hes a coward. His chim missing its weapon shoots and fails to kill my last melta
AM up top! His punishers unload around 60 shots into the terminators; due to
FnP I only lose 2
TH/
SS terms and take a wound on my libby! coulda been worse
Me T4
---------
Well my terms are pinned, which sucks, my
AM 's in the top right corner are done in... lets see what I can pull off!
My lone
AM runs again another 10". My melta
AM goes to charge the 10 man meltavet squad; glory!
lol. My top left
AM combat squad moves into the building, surrounding marbo. Both my speeders move and surround strakens ride. Meph gets out, moves 12", right in front of the punishers! My right speeder lines up a perfect flamer shot on the meltavets in back. My furioso gets out, looking to nom-nom the plasma vets.
Shooting sees me wreck strakens ride after both speeders miss, and the raven shoots EVERYTHING into it... My speeder on the top right heavy flamers the meltavets there, killing 7! My melta marine kills 1 more! they pass their leadership. All other shooting is in-consequential.
Assault sees Meph dominate both remaining punishers, the furioso cleans up the plasma vets, marbo wounding 4 marines, but me making all my saves and kicking his butt, and my lone melta marine killing the melta squad down toi just the sergeant, who hits once, wounds... and the marine bites it! ARG!
IG T5
--------
Straken and his group move to kill my bottom left
AM combat squad. His lone sergeant gets in a chim and heads for the top right objective. Everything else shuffles.
Shooting sees him kill my running last marine and wreck my other raven. He also wrecks my top right speeder :(
Assault sees straken and his boys kill all but my sergeant in
CC; I kill 2 back and we stay stuck in.
Me T5
---------
Possible last turn; gotta make it count!
Both my remaining speeders move flat out onto his top right objective! Meph moves 12" to punch the vanquisher. My terminators and furioso come to help out my last marine in
CC! My last full
AM squad moves onto the top left objective.
Assault sees me lose my last
AM, but kill strakens posse. Meph dominates the vanquisher.
Sorry no T5 pic :(
We roll to see if we continue and... its a 2! I control 1 objective, contest 3. my opponent contests 1.
Victory to the
BA!
Afterthoughts
--------------------
Well, that was rough. All that
AV 14 rolling around had me worried; not to mention my terrible reserves T2! However, I barely eeked out the victory, thanks to the mobility of my army
Not much else to say! Colin did a few misplays (like shooting his plasma vets at the raven), but in general, did a pretty good job of clearing me out!
In the end he had: eradicator, 2 chims, sergeant
I had: Meph, Furioso, 3 termis w/ libby and priest, 4 assault marines, 2 speeders
