Garrisons and Deployment Black Legion kept the Chosen in reserve. Necrons kept their entire army in reserve. No garrisons were placed. Black Legion "hedgehogged" all units in a defensive crescent as shown below: _________________ "EPIC: Total War" Lead Developer Now living in Boston... any EPIC players want to meet up?

Strategy roll: Necrons Pylon 1 immediately sustains fire on Assault Company 2, vaporizing 1 Decimator. Pylon 2 follows up on with the same and eliminates Assault Company 2!  (I didn't move the broken Decimator because I really didn't expect my opponent to "finish off" the formation? *sigh*) Assault Company 1 doubles towards Monolith 1 and actually takes out the formation's Monolith! Feral Titan 1 tries to finish off the remaining Obelisks, but only staggers forward. Phalanx 1 appears from the Portal in Monolith 2 and marches back to the Necron Blitz. Feral Titan 2 doubles on Monolith 3 and blasts apart 1 Obelisk. The Predators double up against the same target and wipe out both the remaining Obelisk and the Monolith!  (Losing 2 unactivated Portals in Turn 1, my opponent was feeling a little worried?) Monolith 2 advances on the Armoured Company and Particle Whips 1 Predator into oblivion. Feral Titan 2 doubles towards Monolith 2 and lays a single blast marker? End of Turn: All formations rally and the broken Obelisks of Monolith 1 fade from sight? _________________ "EPIC: Total War" Lead Developer Now living in Boston... any EPIC players want to meet up?

[Teleport picture to come] Strategy Roll: Black Legion Feral Titan 2 sustains fire on Monolith 2, blasting apart 2 Obelisks. The Armoured Company advances on the Deceiver and actually manages to do 1DC damage! The C'Tan retaliates by sustaining fire on the Predators.  Once succumbs to despair and 3 blast markers are placed. Pylon 3 then sustains fire into the back of Feral Titan 3, but only manages to drop 1 Void Shield. Assault Company 1 doubles around the ruins to slam both nearby Pylons with a massive 6BP barrage, no damage is caused, but both of the Necron death-ray projectors are broken. (Boy, was my opponent surprised by *that*!  *laugh*) Feral Titan 1 doubles towards Monolith 4, taking out 1 Obelisk and breaking the formation? which doesn't flee. The Obelisks of Monolith 1 sustain fire on Feral Titan 3, dropping a Void Shield and doing 1DC damage, breaking the Titan which flees to Chaos Obj 2. Phalanx 2 emerges from the Portal in Monolith 2 to engage the Armoured Company with the support of the Deceiver.  The Predators are wiped out for the cost of a single Necron Warrior. The Equus formation finally makes an appearance, racing out of Monolith 4's Portal and firing on Assault Company 1, doing 2DC damage to the lead Decimator. Phalanx 1 goes on overwatch to guard the Blitz? End of Turn: Feral Titan 3 fails to rally for the Black Legion, and Phalanx 1 and Pylon 1 fail for the Necrons and broken the broken Monolish vanishes...

Monolith 2 appears near them, but suffers some wind shear and gets a blast marker, breaking, but holding its ground.  Monolith 4 appears near Assault Company [Teleport picture to come] Strategy Roll: Black Legion Feral Titan 1 advances on the Eques formation and obliterates 4 Heavy Destroyers, easily breaking the Necrons who flee deep into the woods near the Chaos deployment zone. Feral Titan 2 continues the assault by doubling back after them and wiping them out and contesting the Chaos Blitz. Phalanx 3 engages the Chosen via the Portal in Monolith 2 and with the support of Phalanx 1.  The Necron Lord, the Pariah, and a single Necron Warrior are felled, but all the Chosen are slain, leaving the Daemon Prince all along and broken. Pylon 2 sustains fire on Assault Company 1, destroying 1 of the Decimators with a  critical, breaking the formation. Pylon 3 takes a long range sustained fire shot at Feral Titan 2 but only negates a Void Shield. Monolith 4 hovers over on a double to secure Chaos Objective 1. Phalanx 1 moves to engage the cowering Daemon Prince of the Chosen and lose 2 Necron Warriors wiping him out. The Obelisks of Monolith 1 advance on Feral Titan 2, but only drop its Void Shield and are unable to break it. The Deceiver doubles towards Chaos Objective 2 threatening any that come near it? End of Turn: Black Legion 1 (BTS) vs Necrons 2 (BTS, T-n-H). [End of turn picture to come] _________________ "EPIC: Total War" Lead Developer Now living in Boston... any EPIC players want to meet up?

For the Necrons, I thought the Eques somewhat failed to deliver.  Selecting the right kind of formation for the BTS goal is definately something the Necrons have to consider carefully.

Losing two unactivated Portals in the first turn really put a damper on the Necron ability to use all their reserves.  I *love* the full Heavy Destroyer Eques, and, had they gotten out Turn 1, I think they would've done a lot more damage. Necrons do have to be careful with deciding on a BTS unit, especially if they don't take one of the Harvester Engines, as, if broken in Turn 3, that formation is going to count as destroyed. _________________ "EPIC: Total War" Lead Developer Now living in Boston... any EPIC players want to meet up?
