Turn 1
Terminator Detachments 1 and 2 teleport into cover, receiving no Blast markers!
Strategy roll: Marines
The Strike Cruiser arrives and lays down an orbital bombardment that strikes the edge of Grenadier Company 1 and engulfs Hydra 2. ?The Grenadiers suffer a single Blast marker, while the Hydras lose one of their members and break.
Terminator Detachment 1 sustains fire on Hydra 1, blasting apart a Hydra and breaking the formation? suddenly the air cover over the Gue'senshi isn't so thick?
Stingray Contingent 2, slightly shaken by the nearby bombardment, hesitates and then sustains fire on the markerlit Terminator Detachment 2 (I hate having to use my SC re-roll on my first activation!). ?The streaking missiles manage to score a measly six hits and a single Terminator unit is taken out of action.
Stingray Contingent 1 also tries to sustain fire, but they fail to fully lock onto Terminator Detachment 1. ?Fortunately the enemy is lit up and the missiles seek them out, but only manage to place a single Blast marker.
Terminator Detachment 2 sustains fire on Stingray Contingent 2, blasting down a single Stingray.
Thunderhawk 1 races in, dodging flak, to strafe Hydra Detachment 2, wiping them out.
To the surprise of the Marines, the Battlesuited Company HQ jumps forward to engage Terminator Detachment 2 in a firefight, breaking the Marines and taking out 2 units of Terminators, including the Librarian, for the loss of a single XV29 team.
Thunderhawk HQ zooms in to land, disgorging the Terminator HQ and the whole lot of Marines blaze away with cannons and Stormbolters at the Zashi-suited humans? and kill a single XV29 team?
Thunderhawk 2 drops down from the sky to perform an air assault against Stingray Contingent 2, but is knocked out of the air by short-range fire, doing no damage to the Tau tanks.
The Shadowsword targets Terminator Detachment 3 far away in the woods, sustains fire? and misses, obliterating a tree?
Terminator Detachment 3 hot-foots it forward, doubling to stay just out of overwatch range, preventing it from being able to fire on any targets.
Grenadier Company 1, prepares to advance, but fail to make any progress, so they take out their frustration by firing on Terminator Detachment 1? and actually manage to take out 2 Terminators, breaking the formation!
Thunderhawk 4 jets down to fire on Hydra Battery 1, missing, but causing 1 Hydra to wreck itself in the confusion.
Grenadier Company 2 doubles forward to fire on Terminator Detachment 3, placing a single Blast marker?
End of Turn: Thunderhawk HQ stays landed, while the other two Thunderhawk leave with some Blast markers.
All formations, on both sides, successfully rally!
(I forgot to take the End of Turn picture at the end of turn, so a few things had happened by the time I remembered to take the pic? you'll see!)
