Subject: The Doom of Mymeara (Narrative Batrep series 3)
I rooted out IA11 - The Doom of Mymeara and decided to do something similar. Hope you enjoy!
The book focuses on Eldar war hosts launching an attack on the ice world Betalis III and their imperial adversaries, consisting of several Imperial Guard regiments under Myndoras Odon, Bran Redmaw's company of Space Wolves and Titans from the Legio Gryphonicus.
The campaign itself has 5 missions overall including one Apocalypse game. The campaign is spit into 2 halves with games 1-3 from the first half giving bonuses to the final 2 games but more of that anon.
Mission 1: Encounter at Relay Station 849/X.
Objectives: The side with the most scoring units in the Imperial Deployment zone is the winner. No other conditions apply.
Game length: 4 turns
IG Psychic powers: N/A
Eldar Psychic powers: N/A
IG Warlord trait: Warlord and unit can reroll 1s in shooting.
Eldar Warlord trait: Warlord and unit can reroll 1s in hth.
Mission special rules: Night fight, reserves, 4 turn game with possible 5th.
Deployment: The Imperial forces can choose a table quarter at the start of the game and deploy 6 aegis lines, 2 AA batteries and a bunker there. This then becomes their deployment zone. The Eldar deploy in the opposite quarter of the table.
IG forces (1000 points and only 2 units of type “Tank” allowed):
Deployment: The IG chose the table side with one of the hills for better LoS and setup their defence line there.

End of turn 1:
Defence grids go Alpha Red as multiple Xenos forces are sighted well within Imperial defence protocols. Imperial forces immediately call for Air Support and additional ground forces to relay Station 849/X.

Station 849/X relays situation +++Omega-Extremis+++ to Orbital platforms as Xenos Air Support and Ground forces penetrate Primary defence lines.
Game 2 of the Mymeara campaign sees Imperial forces trying to breakthrough the Bregan glacial pass under fire from Eldar scouts and support units. It represented a key strategic area, forming the only land bridge between the refinery complex and Port Ryira.
The game was listed at 2k points + 1k of superheavies but I reduced this to circa 2.3k per side due to space and time.
Deciding to deviate slightly from the main plot characters, I introduced Pask to lead the Imperial breakthrough and Asurman to lead the Eldar attack.
Mission 1: The Battle at Alnitac.
Objectives: The Imperial forces receive 3 Vps per scoring unit inside the Eldar DZ at the end of the game. The Eldar score 1 VP per imperial unit destroyed or broken at the end of the game.
Game length: 6 turns
IG Psychic powers: N/A
Eldar Psychic powers: N/A
IG Warlord trait: Pask: Preferred enemy: Eldar for unit.
Eldar Warlord trait: Asurman: Split fire, reroll 1s once per game, d3” per run.
Mission special rules: Reserves (50% of forces must begin in reserves), Superheavies, Victory points.
Deployment: The winner of the roll off chooses deployment zones. Roll off determines who goes first. IG attempted night fighting but failed.
I decided to make the robg hillsides impassible terrain as were the square hills to represent the narrow glacial pass where the fighting took place. Only flyers, jump units etc could land on the top of the hills.
