Hello to you.

I played a game today with my friend Hendaron. I decided it'd be good if I try my hand at making a batrepfor this.

I was defender, he was attacker. I had the minefield stratagem He had dawn assault, but we completely forgot about the night fighting rules.

Battle report. The assault on imperial outpost 697

Turn 1
Hendaron
Rolled for firestorm, and got 5 shots. He killed a handfull of Guardsmen, and a lascannon. He tried to destroy my bastion, but he failed to hit.
He only got his scouts on the board, and ran with them towards cover. That's when I declared my stratagem(Minefield). with some luck I could destroy the scouts and with it his locator beacon, then it could be possible for his land raider to scatter (Yes, the land raider could deepstrike). I had no luck, and only killed 3 of the 5 scouts.
I couldn't shoot the rest down, as most of my units went to ground because of the firestorm.

Turn 2
His landraider came. My devil dog and my Two sentinals also came.
He shot a bit, and was able to kill some more guardsmen
with some 'get back into the fight' orders, I was able to get some units back in the game. I started shooting with everything I got. Killing the 2 remaining scouts. I shot all my high strengt weaponry to the Land raider, but most of the missed, or failed to penetrate. I roled a 6 for armour penetration with the lascannons, but Hendaron saved it with a cover save.

Turn 3
The termies and captain got out of their land raider, the captain spilt from his termie bodyguard. The termies assaulted a Guard squad, and the captain assaulted a Platoon Command squad. The Termies were locked in combat with the blob squad for the next turn, I killed one of them, and he killed 2 of me. He also maneged to explode my Devil dog

Turn 4
More shooting at the Land Raider, but to no avail.His captain slaughtered my PCS, and I managed to get a wound of his captain.
The BA captain stood there 2 inches from my Guardsquad. I ordered the unit to 'First rank fire, second rank fire', and at the end The captain only had 1 wound left. my other platoon comand assaulted against the termies, aiding the 1st squad of second platoon. The termies slaughtered through the depleted guardsquad, and were locked in combat again, this time to platoon command 2.

Turn 5
more shooting against the land raider, but again, it survived. More Close Combat, and more Guardsmen died. I killed another termy, and that was it. His units were still a distance from the bastion, and I still had my Command squad in the bastion.
We rolled for turn 6, but Hendaron Rolled a 1, ending the game.

My brave Guardsmen(not a single unit failled it's leadership tests) had won the game, but a lot of Guardsmen died in the procces, while they only killed 5 scouts and 2 terminators.

Outpost 697 was still in the hands of the Imperial Guard.


Hope You enjoyed.
