Deployment: Dawn of War
Game Type: Annihilation
Final Score: 12 - 4, Blood Angels

Turn one:
A skirmish broke out today between a mixed Imperial Guard Company and a detachment of Blood angels. The encounter began before dawn, with neither side able to see much. The Blood angel company opened fire with their land raider to brighten the scene, killing two guardsmen in the process. The guardsmen responded by keeping in cover to avoiding incoming fire. One of our platoon commanders begin heated pursuit after an enemy Razorback, while the Leman Russ Vanquishers rattled the Land raider.

Turn two:
A Blood angel assault squad dropped in and decimated one of our Leman Russ tanks, while devastator squads began taking position in a nearby building. A missile squad opened fire on one of our Chimeras, rattling the driver, while a terminator squad (led by a sanguinary priest) deployed from the landraider and attempted to assault the nearby guardsmen. The were slowed by rough terrain long enough that the guard was able to rally and retaliate. Losses were staggering for the guardsmen, only killing a single terminator. B platoon camped in a nearby building, taking shots at the moving Devastator squads, while the vanquisher tank managed to land another round on the land raider, disabling one of the hurricane bolters. Platoon A PCS immobilized the razorback, while the Leman Russ continued to bombard the Devastator squads. Al'Rahem began an outflanking maneuver on the wrong side of the field.

Turn Three:

With Devastator squad in position, plasma cannons opened fire on Al'Rahem's platoon, causing devastating losses. The assault squad attacked, and destroyed the vanquisher. The Terminator squad and priest continued mowing through Platoon A, taking only a single loss, white the missile squad disabled Platoon A's chimera. Platoon A was decimated by the terminator squad as the Platoon B PCS disembarked and fire upon the land raider. Due to melta malfunction, not a single shot penetrated the hull, and meltabombs proved ineffective. Al' Rahem's Platoon fired back on the plasma cannons, rupturing one of the plasma canisters and destroying the squad. Platoon B was credited with excellent marksmanship in annihilating the lascannon Devastator squad at maximum range with a hail of lasgun fire.

Turn Four:
The terminator squad pinned the Platoon B PCS against the land raider and eviscerated them in short order. The assault squad continued to advance on the Platoon B's position, while the missile squadron fired wildly into the field. An additional assault squad landed near the final Leman Russ, and disabled its weapons. The Land raider, finally mobile, disabled the CCS A chimera. CCS A responded by getting out and blowing a massive hole in the land raider with their meltaguns. The resulting explosion killed most of the CCS, and a terminator. Platoon B, cocky from their victory over the Devastator squad, opened fire on the assault squad, only to rack up two kills. CCS B opened fire on the second assault squad with their plasma guns, and scored two kills.

Turn Five:
The Terminator squad and priest charged the Company commander, killing him swiftly, while the missile squad finally disembarked from the wrecked Razorback and flamed Platoon A's PCS into briquettes. The assault squad finally reached Platoon B and began tearing through them. The terminator squad began running at full tilt towards the remains of Al' Rahem's platoon. CCS B was assaulted by the remains of Assault Squad B, causing 4 fatalities. The remaining company commander advanced in a reward direction.

Turn Six:
The Priest, apparently to disoriented by the attacks, was unable to control his powers and his head exploded. The assault squad fared better, killing the rest of Platoon B, while the Assault Squad B nearly finished off the company commander after a bold fight, in which the Company commander took down a space marine with just a knife. The terminator squad continued to advance on Al'Rahem's platoon. The platoon responded with a hail of krak grenades, and, supported by Al' Harem's melta squad, managed to take down two more terminators. Al'Rahem's pistol malfunctioned and he was injured during the fight. His Platoon, however, bravely assaulted the remaining terminator and priest, bringing down the terminator with their power swords.

Turn Seven:

The Priest's head exploded. No reason was given. Company Commander B was finally slain by a Blood Angel after a vicious fight. Al'Rahem's Platoon was ordered to retreat after firing into the remaining assault squads.
