Terrain gets placed fairly evenly with a peice in each corner and one in the middle.

Rich wins the die roll for deployment.

Deployment
Rich infiltrates the scout bikers and deploys most of his force towards the middle with a combat squad with a missle launcher (camping his objective) and a predator on the right.

I decide to deploy and split my forces deploying in the corners giving the manticores cover and congo lining infantry in front of my vehicles. I outflank the 3 Vendettas and leave the PCS in reserve to make a run for the middle objective later.

I make a mistake and leave a 2 inch gap so he is able to charge though the gaps with his scout need to leave a 1 inch gap.

Rich deploys his Scout bikers on his half of the board.

Results
Draw with 11 points
+1 Point for controlling the Space Junk objective.

Had a fun and tough game with my friend and team mate Rich. He earned his full marks in Sports.

MVP Vendettas actually did their job and killed all his light armor. runner up was las plas squads which helped.

Game Analysis
Made a few mistakes
1 congo line should be 1 inch apart and I forgot I had infantry in my vendetta
2 should loaded the melta vets into a vendetta to go for his objective.
3 got the infantry out and ran which was bad because he has fear the darkness.

So how'd you do overall?

Man that table is lite on terrain...

I finished 19th overall.

http://www.theconflictgt.com/index.php?option=com_easytable&view=easytable&id=13&Itemid=73

Some tables had more terrain then others it wasn't uniform.

I love these reports and how your vendettas look. The army name always makes me smile - when I was Army I went to the field with 1/501st at Ft. Rich all the time. Geronimo :-)

Great job, thanks for posting them!

Thank you. Don't really have the time to write the old story battle reports I used to.

I do need to practice more to play at a good pace without mistakes.

Other then that I probably will change up my list some. Alrahem seems really good for putting scoring units on opponents objectives and gives additional outflanking threats that aren't Vendettas would be better then putting the Infantry Squads in Vendettas. I would lose the bubble wrap but reserving and coming in on a 3+ isn't too bad to avoid alpha strikes. PBS doesn't seem to be pulling its weight so that probably will be the first cut. Las plas vets I like alot in some match ups but they might have to get cut to make points as well.
