After all is said and done, the vindicator is immobilized with no weapons left, the Baal is merely shaken.

Snikrot and Kommandos dual assault the Tac Squad and Rhino. The Rhino is Shaken, Stunned, and had it's storm bolter knocked off. The burnas and boyz fluffed their rolls against the Tac Squad, only killing a couple. The Kommandos lose combat by two, lose two more the fearless rolls.



Blood Angels Turn 3:

Reserves Arrive!

The Assault Drop pod comes in, disgorging the furioso Dread by the Trukk Boyz

The previously stalled Baal succeeds in getting it's OCE this time, and moves over towards the refinery. The shaken Baal does not Overcharge, but does not stall, and moves back away from the boys.

The Tac Squad in the Rhino disembarks and moves into position to join the assault with the Kommandos.

The BW Boyz badly damages the Tac Squad, but they stay stuck in

Nob glances and penetrates, the penetrate is a destroyed result, but the dread uses it's venerable rule to reroll it, and it turns into a shaken. Combat is tied.

In assault, the BW Boyz do more damage to the Tac Squad, but remain stuck in.

The Nobz Finished off Death Company and consolidated 1"

The Dread kills another boy, is glanced in return.

Ork Turn 4:
Made a mistake this turn, having just moved the Nobz their consolidation move, was thinking they had moved this turn, so started shooting before realizing they should have moved. Oh well.

Big Shoota on the immobilized truck fires on the Rhino by the refinery but fails to hit. Big shooter on the immobilized BW shoots at the Tac Squad, but does no damage.

BW Boyz finish off the Tac Squad and consolidate into the cover of the crater.

The Baal Pred buy the crater and the Tac Squad fires on the BW Boyz, who go to ground. Casualties are suffered, but they pass their break test.

The Baal Pred by the Refinery opens fire on the Nobs, but causing little damage.

Orks Turn 5:
The Nobz lucked out after the blunder of not moving last turn, getting a 6 on their move through cover and a 6 on their run, allowing them to make it to the crater near the BA objective.

The BW Boyz had gone to ground, and so can not act

The surviving Trukk Boyz assault the drop pod.

The big shoota on the BW shot at the rear armor of the Rhino heading for the Ork Objective, but fails to hit. The Big Shoota on the Trukk shoots at the Rhino's front armor, glancing and stunning the Rhino.

The Trukk Boys manage to wreck the Drop Pod.



BA Turn 6:
The Rhino by the refinery overcharges and moves forward, but can not get close enough to the Ork Objective.

The Tac Squad adjusts position slightly, trying to form a wall to keep the Orks more than 3" from their objective.

The Preds and the Tac Squad focus fire on the BW Boyz, leaving just the Nob with one wound left, who failed his break test and fell back 9"

Ork Turn 6

The Big Shootas fire to no effect. The Surviving Nobz & Thraka move forward, and then assault into the Tac Squad, their Power Klaws wreaking terrible destruction. The few remaining survivors manage to hang on, and the game ends. On measuring, the BA player had misjudged their distance by a quarter inch, and Thraka's huge base ends up contesting the BA objective, victory to the Orks.

This was a very fun game that came right down to the wire. The Diversified Nob squad continues to impress, although they were extremely lucky with their cover saves and FNP rolls all game.
