Heh. === Incidentally, I played a Speed Freek battle several weeks ago against AMTL.  If there is one army that will have more trouble against WEs than the Marines, it's the Freeks.  You might want to keep that in mind. _________________ Neal

Thanks for the tip Neal, but I put together an "In the Box" Freeks list as I wasn't aware I'd be fighting Necrons until last night... we'll see how it goes... _________________ "EPIC: Total War" Lead Developer Now living in Boston... any EPIC players want to meet up?

Speed Freeks had Fighta-Bommerz in reserve and placed no garrisons. Deployment Speed Freeks deployed in a staggered ling, east to west, consisting of Blitz White, Freeks Blue, Fortress Mob, Freeks Yellow, Blitz Black, heavily co-mingled with the Kult of Speed. Necrons deployed as shown: Turn 1 No teleports. Strategy Roll: Necrons - allow Speed Freeks to go first Seeing a big shiny target, the Skreemin' Eagles zoom in to blast Monolith 1? and score no hits. With no targets nearby, Phalanx 3 leapfrogs forward to another set of ruins on a double. Wheelz-uf-Deth cautiously advance on Phalanx 2, and the Mekboy Speedsta dispatches a single Warrior. Eques 2 doubles on Wheelz-uf-Deth and gausses a Power Field from each Speedsta and destroys three Gunwagons. The 'Otwheelz double up closes to Eques 2 and drop 1 Heavy Destroyer. Phalanx 2 engages the 'Otwheelz, who counter charge into Eques 2 (Trukks have a 10cm counter-charge, which we just then realized), and a massive battle develops.  The Orks lose 2 Trukks, 1 Skorcha, 1 Buggy, 1 Boy, and a Nob, while the Necrons see 3 Heavy Destroyers and 2 Warriors go down.  The Orks barely win, breaking the Necrons and perilously close to breaking themselves. Da Rumblas rumble forward on a double to fire on Phalanx 3, taking out a Warrior. Monolith 1 doubles towards Da Rumblas and lays a single blast marker. Eques 1 flies over the ruins to engage Da Rumblas who counter charge against Phalanx 3 and another big battle of green flesh versus silver metal erupts.  Three Trukks are totalled, but the Orks take out 2 Warriors and 1 Heavy Destroyers and wind up winning the fight by "1", breaking the Necrons again.  WAAAAAAGH! Teef-n-Tirez double up to flank Monolith 1, catching the Necrons in a crossfire.  They manage to destroy 1 Obelisk, breaking the formation. Eques 3 advances on Teef-n-Tirez and obliterates 3 Gunwagons. Garbutz' Gear'eads double on Eques 3 and, shockingly, blast 3 of the Heavy Destroyers out of the sky. Phalanx 1 enters the Portal of the Tomb Complex and pops out of Monolith 1 to double on the Kult of Speed, dispersing 2 Warbike units. The Gunfortress Mob doubles up and unleashes a hellish amount of fire on Phalanx 1? managing to lay a single blast marker. Rallies: 'Otwheelz and Teef-n-Tirez fail to rally for the Orks, and only Phalanx 1 is left on the board for the Necrons.  The Orks think they are winning? _________________ "EPIC: Total War" Lead Developer Now living in Boston... any EPIC players want to meet up?

Brood Brother Joined: Fri Jun 24, 2005 3:06 pm Posts: 9684 Location: Montréal, QC, Canada	Turn 2 Monolith 1 appears near the 'Otwheelz, receiving 1 blast marker. ?Monolith 2 safely teleports into some ruins in support of Phalanx 1 while the Venetors pick up 1 blast marker when arriving near the co-mingled Gear'Eads and Teef-n-Tirez. Strategy Roll: Necrons Eques 1 deploys out of the Portal of Monolith 2 to advance on the Kult of Speed. ?Three Buggies and a Skorka are disintegrated. The Venetor follow up by engaging the co-mingled Gear'Eads and Teef-n-Tirez, with horrific amounts of potential support from the other nearby Necrons. ?A Nob and a Gunwagon are destroyed, which is enough to break the Blitz Brigade, and the Kult of Speed lose a Bike and a Buggy. ?The other Necrons are surprised and slightly dismayed when the Flayed Ones don't call for support? as they have been completely wiped out! The Wheelz-uf-Deth double around to flank Monolith 1 and crossfire them, destroying an Obelisk and breaking the unit: unsurprisingly, the Necron machines stand firm. Hoping to redeem themselves, Da Thundarunnas gun their engines to double on Monolith 1. ?The massive fusillade manages to crack the Necron device, and the Monolith crashes to the ground, split wide open and its Portal winks out. Monolith 2, with the nearby support of Eques 1, engages the savaged Kult of Speed. ?The Orks are completely wiped out, but manage to take 2 Obelisks with them, breaking the Necrons. The Skreemin' Eagles scream in to hammer the broken Monolith? and score no hits. The 'Otwheelz, slap on some more red paint as the marshal, firing ineffectively at Monolith 2, but clearing all their blast markers. Eques 2 appears out of the Tomb Complex, advancing on Da Rumblas and scoring a kill on 1 Buggy. Phalanx 1 then clanks forward to engage Da Rumblas, losing a Tomb Spyder and a Warrior, but killing a Nob, an Ork Boy, the Mekboy Speedsta, and 3 Buggies. ?The fragmented Orks flee in terror, realizing maybe they ain't winning? Rallies: None of the Orks rally, while all on board Necron formations do? _________________ "EPIC: Total War" Lead Developer Now living in Boston... any EPIC players want to meet up?

Brood Brother Joined: Fri Jun 24, 2005 3:06 pm Posts: 9684 Location: Montréal, QC, Canada	Turn 3 Monolith 2 appears near the Ork Blitzkrieg taking no blast markers, while the last Obelisk of Monolith 1 appears near the Wheelz-uf-Deth. Strategy Roll: Orks Da Thundarunnas double up to surround the Tomb Complex with 'ard Orky might and fire on the crossfired Eques 2, wiping them out. Wheelz-uf-Deth double against Eques 1, but only manage to lay a blast marker. The Obelisk of Monolith 1 advances on the Wheelz-uf-Deth and strips a Power Field from the Mekboy Speedsta. Phalanx 1 engages the Wheelz-uf-Deth and wipes them out without suffering a single Necron "casualty". 'Otwheelz double on Eques 1, and manage to fell one Heavy Destroyer. Phalanx 3 marshals out of the Portal of Monolith 2, grabbing Ork Objective 1 and returning 3 Warriors to "life". The Skreemin' Eagles try one more time to do anything in the battle, streaking down to strafe Eques 1? scoring no hits, but managing to break the enemy formation.  Waaa? *sigh* Monolith 2 goes onto Overwatch, guarding the Ork Blitz. Phalanx 2 comes out of the Tomb Complex to engage the Fortress Mob.  They scratch the paint on one Gunfortress (-1DC), but are wiped out in turn as the Orks hastily try to rivet plates over the opening of the Portal? End of Turn: Necrons 2 (Blitzkrieg, Take and Hold) vs Speed Freeks 1 (Blitzkrieg) _________________ "EPIC: Total War" Lead Developer Now living in Boston... any EPIC players want to meet up?

Since we'd actually started that game early, we were able to fit in another... Necrons vs Biel-Tan... report to follow! _________________ "EPIC: Total War" Lead Developer Now living in Boston... any EPIC players want to meet up?
