TURN 2
World Eater win Initiative


- World Eater Ravager Titan Doubles on Vampire(1) squad merely killing 1 Support Stand

Quote: 

Argh %$#@#$% these dice.


- World Eater Bikes retain and tempt fate in following the example of their brothers and decide to Charge the Vampire(1) guardians and decide to Intermingle the Vampire(2) and the Avatar. The bikes charge the craters, and like their brethren, 2 more die due to the DTT (including the Skull Lord) leaving only 3 to fight the assault.

contd...

...remainder bikes continue the CC and 2 die from 9 hits. They do 5 hits back killing 4 guardians. The World Eater Ravager lends support hitting 5 times for a total of 1 Guardian death. Sole World Eater Biker wins the combat by 3, with the result being all units broken. Avatar runs like a little girl to stand in front of the Swooping Hawks who landed this turn

Remainder of the guardians



- Falcons Advance on the Chosen killoing 2 Chosen and the last Slaughterfiend. Skull Lord is left who finds himself weak willed and Broken.
- Juggers(1) Charge Swooping Hawks and intermingle the Crying Avatar. 1 Jugger dies in exchange for 2 wounds on the Avatar and 1 dead Swooping Hawk. Juggers eventually win the combat by 1.



- Nightspinner fails to activate
- Cannons of Khorne go on Overwatch again.
- Vampire(2) GA Berserkers killing 1 stand.
- Berserkers decide to March along the road.
- Vampire(1) GA Berserkers for no hits
- Hellblades Intercept Vampire(2) causing 3 hits and killing it as it made no saves
- Nightwings Intercept Hellblades killing 1 as the other 2 made 'jink' saves
- Juggers(2) pass their action
- Guardians Double to Berserkers causing 5 tank hits (he needed 5+ and rolled this many). 2 Predators and 2 Rhinos die).

Turn 3
Eldar win Initiative

- Falcons Advance on Berserkers killing 3 stands and breaking the unit



- Chosen Double behind Vampire(1) unit
- World Eater Ravager titan retains and Doubles vs Vampire(1) unit gaining the x-fire from the Chosen, yet only kills 1 (it is at this point that I realised that the Ravager titan should have had 4 extra shots all game - not that it would have made a difference with my luck).
- Nightspinner Indirects the Cannons of Khorne killing 1 and leaving 3 BM and breaking the unit
- Hellblades Stand Down
- Vampire Raider(2) Stands Down
- Juggers(1) March into the ruins to contest Objectives
- Guardians Charge Juggers(1). Somehow all the Juggers are wiped out to no Guardian losses

Code Sample: 
Note: In turn 2, after the Juggers won the CC vs the Swwoping hawks and Avatar, I decided that they would consolidate. In that effort, another stand - this time with walker - died due to a DTT. I thought I would put this here for posterity's sake



Turn 4
Eldar win Initiative

- Falcons Advance on World Eaters Ravager Titan and remarkably down 4 shields and do 2 hits, one of which gets through the armour and causes a critical

Quote: 

This was just a real bad day for the World Eaters I guess


- Black Guardians retain and Advance on the Ravager causing 6 hits, 3 of which get through yet for no criticals. Ravager at this point is broken.
- Swooping Hawks(2) retain and Charge Berserkers which goes to a 2nd round. Berserkers are eventually wiped out for no Eldar losses
- Hellblades Stand Down - of course
- Nightspinner indirects Cannons of Khorne breaking them
- Lone Chosen model Marches to contest the Blitz on the Eldar edge of the table
- Swooping Hawks(3) Charge Chosen. Only the Nightspinner is the decider killing the last Chosen. Swooping Hawks are broken as well.
- Bike Formation (whatever is left of it) Marches to contest Blitz.
- Nightwings Stand Down
- Juggers run back to contest 2 of own objectives



- Swooping Hawks(?) Charge the Bike formation. Once again the FF from the Nightspinner is the end of the World Eaters attempt.
- Vampire Raider(2) GA Ravager for 1 hit, yet no damage
- Guardians Advance towards Juggers killing 1 Jugger

Rally Phase
- World Eaters Ravager fail
- Cannons of Khorne fail


Score
Eldar: 2 (DTF & TSNP)
World Eaters: 0


Game Over

After Game Thoughts

I had to test the World Eaters Ravager and so I did that. I think I could have played it alot better, yet this is what happens when you play something for the first time.

Overall I was simply dissapointed with my luck. The 1's that decided to show up saw me lose a minimum of 5 units on the table. In two of those cases, they were assaults that statistically I should have trumped. This is what the game is however so you do your best.

One thing to note was that the Ulthwe List cannot take Void Spinners. As this was a decider to 2 combats for the Blitz, as well as breaking a unit twice, I feel a little robbed in this respect.

This was also a game where the oversized objective was a factor. For the game the Nightspinner stayed behind cover as it was able to keep within 15cm of the edge of a 40mm base. At the end of the game when this was realised, it was a bit of a let down. At no point were the Eldar actually within 15cm of the table edge to actually clain the Objective. Combining that with the fact that the Nightspinner was an illegal addition, the last desperate dash by the World Eaters could have potentially secured the game as a Draw.

Oh well, you live and you learn.

One aspect was that the Eldar force used could not have had the Nightspinner.

This one took me some time to figure out grammatically. One, it's a rocky sentence. Two, the EoV artillery is the Void Spinner. For these reasons I reccomend changing it to:

"One thing to note was that the Ulthwe List cannot take Void Spinners."

Not a huge beef, just threw me off for a minute.

This game reminds me of my game where my Hydraphant engaged Guardians into CC. Result is of course that Hydraphant lost something like 4 wounds and killed perhaps 1 Guardian and lost ...

:grin:

Then we have much in common   :grin:

those were some truly terrible dice rolls frogbear :) I guess your 100+ invulnerable saves last night balanced that out  :down:

again, how come the falcons were in a position to sustain on your Ravager? They would have had to been out in the open and within 45cm (30? given the extra dice LR mentioned) of it, so even a couple of hits would probably have broken them as they're pretty fragile. Sounds like LeanonRuss knew to keep his guardians in cover too, they're surprisingly resilient in that case.

I can hardly remember the end of the game now, but Leanonruss did very well with his placements and measurements.

My luck will change eventually   :down:
