Hi All,
This is part of a mini campaign we are playing so is not a standard mission.
Goal here is a Break Through type mission where what ever gets off the table for the IG comes in as reserves in the meeting engagement from a random side table edge. Both sides drew up even point armies and committed their choice of points to attempt the flanking move, the Marines committed a points value to stop them. Any Marines that do not make the table come in as reserves next battle from the Marine deployment zone.
Total starting points for mini campaign are 2500
I.G. list: total 1167
Commissar with (10) Vet squad, Sgt Bolt pistol and C/C, Flamer & Grenade launcher.

Deployment:
Marine select 1 unit to start on table, 4' x 4'
IG may start up to 2' on and deploy in column on each of the two roads.
Marines place several markers so IG do not know where the 1 unit is until after deployment.
Marines go first springing the attack.

Need more long range camera pics, map is confustulating.

All warfare is based on deception.

Does that mean WH40K is not warfare?
