I placed my entire army across the board with Zombies spread out as they should be shambling about. The Mauler is behind a LOS blocking hill and my wraith lord unit is trying as best it can to hide in the middle. I am trying to spread the most mobile units across the board to be able to hit where I want since I can't see his deployment yet.

He corners up and places his large tac squad with Librarian in the ruins with both Dev squads behind them. LR is out front and contains Azrael and banner friends. The two bike units are combat squadded with no meltas in the initial deployment.

My opponent does not sieze and we begin.

I basically move forward and the only shooting is from my AB's which do absolutely nothing. Rolling was poor and his saves were on point, they also moverd over 6" and were snap firing. I need to get one of the very few ways I have of killing a LR moving that way so the DL and Mauler head in that direction. It means I am going in to the heart of the LR Salvo beast but I have little choice.

He is a too far out for misfortune this turn but unloads the bikes, LR, and Tac sqaud at my left unit of Wraiths wracking up 5 wounds. Not everything could shoot because he was a little blocked by the hill and had limited movement because he wanted the banner to stay within 6' of the tac squad. The two las units fire at my left AB and only take off one HP with a glance (saved the rest).

I continue trying to get to his Angels before they mop me up. I move the right zombies and immortals in between the right objectives to force him to at least pay attention to that side of the board and go after some pretty cheap units. I focus everything on his Tac squad again but by rolling no sixes and him saving I only kill one marine from direct fire. A couple arcs kill two from his right Dev Squad and they hold. *New FAQ note - we haven't looked for the YMDC ruling yet but both thos units would be out of range from the original 24" that a Tesla Destructor could shoot and therefore should not be able to hit the units behind...we rationalized that the arcs are essentially a new shot that has a 6" range from the Tac squad and could therefore hit the Dev squads.
All in all this is another disappointing turn for my Crons and I have to think that Typhus is wondering why he joined the crazed Destroyer lord. I close my eyes because I have a feeling the next turn will hurt!

He rolls reserves and gets pretty much what he wants. His termies drop in my backfield and one unit of bikes do the same with outflank to hit the Immortals and Zombies down there. They shoot and nearly wipe the entire Immortals squad - none of which would get back up. The Librarian casts Misfortune on my big unit of Wraiths and the Angels bring the pain nearly wiping both units. He is sly and once all wraiths are down in front of my DLord he uses the Devs to bypass the 2+ save. The left unit of wraiths is down to 3 wounds. Luck does shine a bit my way when my DLord gets back up!

Well that was painful and things are looking grim for my alliance. Lets see how T3 goes but it could be pretty bad.

This pic is after movement and shooting. I took the risk of the DLord being able to take down the LR on his own and had the Mauler head toward the Termies rather than doubling up on them. Typhus cast plague wind on the termies and kills one while a Tesla arc knocks down another. The Heldrak comes in and vector strikes a bike from the rear unit then kills three in the tac squad including the libby (love the new FAQ)!! The barges finally get hot and kill one Dev from the right squad, two from the left squad, a bike and a termie - those where all from arcs btw and still only one in the Tac squad! The right Dev squad does break but doesn't run off the board. The center Immortals do nothing and the left Immortals kill two bikes. On the right flank I back away from the termies figuring he will have to use the bikes to come after this unit. The bike squad in front breaks and flees towards the ruins.

Assault sees the wraiths charge his two bikes. We both kill one and he hits and runs. The DLord assaults the LR and explodes it killing two marines inside. The Maler goes after the Termies and kills two with no damage in return.

Well That went a lot better and I think we are back in the game. We had to call it for the night but are going to finish tonight so we shall see how it goes from here.....any predictions?

My opponent moves some bikes around and shuffles his lower right termies up in the ruins. Shooting is not too powerful but one lone bike kills the wraith on the hill and the other three kill a zombie and an immortal. Azrael goes after the helldrake but I save. His lascannon squad hits my DLord and he is down for good. His Tac squad comes in from reserve to threaten the upper right objective and between them, the termies, and three lower bikes they kill 10 zombies. He did spolit fire the termies and shoots a Plas Cannon at my lone immortal on the hill. he goes to ground and survives with a 6!! It matters later in the game. Not a bod turn for me but I fell lucky after getting the LR out of the game. In assault the mauler and last terminator whiff.

In movement I begin to head the two immortals and Typhus unit toward the lower obj. The Helturkey vector strikes the two bikes and would then wipe out the two remaining LC's in the right Dev squad. The AB's take care of the last Tac marines from the Libby squad and my immortals finish off the bike. The lower AB kills one marine in Azraels unit. My lone wraith jumps over to see if he can knock down the last termie. Zombies in upper right continue their slow plod.

In assault the wraith is able to help the Mauler take out the last terminator and they consolidate up toward the obj. The upper right zombis fail their charge. typhus and company declare a charge and quickly lose three zombies needing an 11 to get in to combat...double sixes and we are in business. Unfortunately Typhus is just too far out to challenge so the zombie champ has to and is quickly killed. I really needed Typhus to challenge and kill Azrael so this squad could head north for the upper left objective.

DA's do not have a ton of movement but he does swing the three bikes in the lower corner around to threaten the center objective, this was a mistake that would cost him but it looked ok at the time. He swings the other bike around to shoot the lone wraith in the ruins and shooting is pretty ineffective but he does kill more zombies in the upper right. The lone immortal again takes fire but only from the storm bolters and lives again.

In assault Typhus challenges Azrael and kills him with his force weapon taking no wounds in return. Unfortunately again the zombies can not do even a single wound and we hold after a stubborn leadership test. His bikes turbo a bit and looking back I am not sure why.

I start to turn the AB's to hit the lower three bikes and move the immortals toward the center objective. Combined fire wipes them out. The wraith moves up to kill the last Devastator the Helldrkae VS the last two Dev's up top. The zombies move in to charge range for the upper right tac squad and I move the Mauler to handle that last bike and put this game away....

Not so fast the zombies can only kill one marine after 10 saves and the mauler whiffs on the bike who promply hits and runs.Typhus and company kill the last Command marine and only get a 1 inch consolidate move. Another problem here is that my Immortals could only barely get in range of the center objective and I could be shot off of it by the termies...easily.

He moves his last bike over to the center and hides it behind the pipe system. The Termies stay put and fire on my immortals killing three and taking me out of range from the center objective. fortunately they all get back up and it is safe. Wow that was close. If it ends now we would tie on objectives and go to quarters. We roll and get another turn. In assault the zombies in the upper right stall out and both sides do nothing.

At this point there is not much left but we keep going to see how it ends. I surround the center to kill his bike and use an AB to screen out the termies. Two AB's can't kill the last bike but the mauler finally takes him down in combat. The upper right zombies kill one marine and they fall back. It is now three objectives to one.

The terminators swing out to shoot at the zombies in a prayer and the tac squad comes around. The problem is even if they kill the zombies that one little immortal is in the way to keep the objective contested so it is a no win for the DA. Either way he is unable to kill them all and the game is done. Victory to Crons and Chaos.
