Turn 1
IG won initiative.
IG - basilisks sustain fire on speeders destroying one
SM - Assault marines take this as a sign of things to come and move in behind the hill close to the enemies deployment zone
IG - Advance the Mech infantry to cover an objective and use the factory complex as cover. They open fire on the assault marines but fail to do any damage
SM - Land Speeders consolidate, move up behind the other hill close to the Mech infantry and prepare to spring the trap in turn 2 while removing blast markers
IG - Put the baneblades on Overwatch
SM - March the devs and prepare to destroy the Mech Infantry in the factory complex
Turn 2 - AKA the beginning of the end
Termies Teleport in next to the basilisks
SM win initiative
SM - Termies open fire on the basilisks, destroying two and causing them to flee in terror behind the bane blades
IG - Baneblades return the favour and open fire on the termies. I fully expected the termies to weather the storm. however they proceeded to fail the emperor and are wiped of the face of the planet. This was the beginning of the end for the SM......
SM - Devs advance and shoot at the IG in the factory and also fail the emperor and end up only killing one
SM - Speeders retain initiative, move to continue the assault on the IG mech infantry and also only kill one unit
IG - Mech infantry return fire and kill on land speeder, and marshal to remove BM's.
SM - Assault move up to the retreating basilisks to destroy them next turn
All BM removed in end phase
Turn 3
Marines win the initiative.
SM - Move the Speeders in an attempt to destroy the Baneblades, but fall a few CM short and end up doing nothing other than get caught between the Baneblades and Mech infantry.
SM - Try and retain initiative with the Devs, and fail miserably.
IG - Baneblades open fire on the assault marines destroying two (yup, my roles were so bad that the assault marines survived better than the Termies did)
IG - Retain the initiative and using the support of the Baneblades, completely destroy the speeders
SM - Attempt to assault with Assault marines on the broken basilisk but fail (SM role a 2, IG a 6) and flee
End of turn 3 victory points
IG have BTS, SM have they shall not pass (out of luck rather than design) based on the appalling dice roles to date, and the fact I had no forces left I admit defeat and hand the win to the IG who played brilliantly. I was out played, out gunned, and abandoned by the dice gods.
