Well, Sotec was in the area today so he and I got together to give the Eldar proposed rules a good shaking.

We managed to get in two games, and they were nail-biters! I was able to battle log each game and will be doing reports in the near future.

Great gaming with you Sotec!

Turn 1

No teleports.

Strategy roll: Orks

Blitz Brigade 1 rumbles forward on a double and gets a line of site on the Nightspinners and catching Swords of Vaul 1 in the blast. ?A Nightspinner is brought down, breaking the unit, and the Swords lose a single Falcon.

In an attempt to out-do their Blitz brothas, Blitz Brigade 2 also doubles forward, unleashing terrible Orky energies on the kaleidoscope of colour that is the Revenants Titans. ?A Supa-Zzap hits home and one kaleidoscope crumbles into the ruined form of a splintered Titan? his twin breaks and heads for cover. (*OUCH!*)

Swords of Vaul 2 double forward to get revenge for the loss of a Revenant and blast Blitz Brigade 2? trashing a single Flakwagon.

The Windriders double forward to fire on Gunzmob 2, but place only a single Blast marker.

The Fighta-bommerz zoom down out of the clouds to rake the Windriders with rokkits and shells? giving them a single Blast marker for their troubles.

Swords of Vaul 1 also try for revenge, doubling forward for a hit-and-run against Blitz Brigade 1 and they manage to knock out one of the Soopagun toting Gunwagonz.

The Kult of Speed doubles forward to wash the Windriders with flame and blast, taking out a Jetbike and a Vyper, breaking the Eldar, who flee.

Stompamob 2 tries to double, gets bogged down, and even the yells of the Warboss can't motivate them so they just slowly move forward. ?(This was the beginning of a long string of curse words involving my Supreme Commander re-roll? be forewarned!)

The Cobra advances into cover to fire on Blitz Brigade 2, but takes 1DC of damage from Gunzmob 1's overwatch. ?The D-cannon slurps up? a single Gunwagon.

The Aspect Warhost careens out of the Wraithgate to engage Gunzmob 2. ?The overwatch fire only manages to kill a single Striking Scorpion before the Aspect Warriors begin their dirty work. ?

Another Striking Scorpion goes down in the fray, but 5 Big Gunz and a Soopagun are knocked out as the Eldar easily win the assault driving the remaining Orks back.

Stompamob 1 doubles forward and blows the heck out of the Aspect Warhost! Both Dire Avengers and the Fire Dragon Exarch are killed breaking the noble warriors and causing them to flee.
The Rangers then sustain fire on the nearby, and somewhat annoying, Stormboyz, placing a single Blast marker.

That certainly gets the Stormboyz attention and they engage the Rangers in a vicious assault! ?One Stormboyz dies, but 4 Rangers go down and the outcast Eldar are driven back by a green tide?

End of Turn: Incredibly, all formations on both sides, except the Rangers and Windriders, rally!

Turn 2

No teleports.

Strategy roll: Orks

Blitz Brigade 2 performs a squealing double to blast the Cobra which is torn apart by the Supa-Zapps, along with a couple of trees and a small alien bear.

The Stormboyz let out a mighty "Ride of the WAAAAGHries!" and engage the intermingled Nightspinners and surviving Revenant. ?Two Deth Koptas are knocked out of the sky, but the Nightspinners are destroyed and the Revenant broken? again! ?(You may have noticed, I tend to make Revenants a *high* priority target!)

Swords of Vaul 2 advances and lays into Blitz Brigade 1, taking out a Flakwagon, 2 Gunwagonz, and a precious Soopagun. ?The Orks break and flee.

The Aspect Warriors stop and confer with the Autarch before they double up the flank to fire on the Kult of Speed? placing a single Blast marker.

The Wraithgate opens and the Guardians march towards the Eldar Blitz to do what they do best? guard!

Big Gunz 1 doubles forward to catch Sword of Vaul 2 in a crossfire with Blitz Brigade 2. ?Three Falcons are trashed and the surviving Fire Prisms flee for cover.

Swords of Vaul 1 doubles to fire on Blitz Brigade 2 and takes out both Supa-zzaps, breaking the Orks who rev away.

Stompamob 2 finally gets into the action by doubling through the woods to confront Swords of Vaul 1?

When the smoke finally clears, a single Falcon has survived to escape!

Stompamob 1 doubles forward to fire on the Guardians, trashing 1 Wraithguard and placing 3 Blast markers.

The Fighta-bomma pilots have a lot of broken targets to pick from and randomly decide to dive bomb the Fire Prisms of Swords of Vaul 2, wiping them out.

The Kult of Speed gears up for an engage, sputters, tries again, and floods their engines? firing half-heartedly at the Autarch and his followers. ?(That's *two* failed Supreme Commander re-rolls!)

Gunzmob 2 tries to double, thinks better of it and just regroups to clear their Blast markers?

End of Turn: All formations, except for the battered Blitz Brigade 1, rally!

Turn 3

Here comes the Avatar!

Strategy roll: Biel-Tan

The Avatar and Guardians combine assault to engage the Stormboyz. ?

The Orks are wiped out without scoring a single hit! ?The Eldar feel heartened.

The Aspect Warhost then engages the Kult of Speed. ?Flames bring down two Wave Serpents, but it's not enough as the Orks are completely destroyed.

In an impressive imitation of Ork courage, the lone Falcon of Swords of Vaul 1 doubles on Stompamob 2 and actually takes out a Stompa and the Killa Kan!

Gunzmob 2 doubles to fire on the Rangers, breaking the 2 survivors, who hold their ground.

The Fighta-bommaz buzz down to ground attack the Windriders, taking out a Vyper and breaking the zippy Eldar again.

Feeling the need to prove himself, the Revenant pilot doubles forward to hammer Gunzmob 1 with laser pulse and rocket blasts? and takes out 2 Big Gunz...

Blitz Brigade 2 gets ready to double, freaks out, isn't "calmed" by the Warboss screams of rage, and breaks. (That's *three* Supreme Commander re-rolls failed!)

Big Gunz 1 doubles towards the Revenant, blasting away and placing 1 Blast marker.

Stompamob 2 doubles toward the Revenants as well, doing 1DC damage and breaking the lithe Titan, which tries to find cover.

Stompamob 1 slowly pursues the Revenant on a double, doing another 1DC damage, but the infernal Eldar war engine just won't die!

End of Turn: Both Blitz Brigades and the Windriders fail to rally.

Score: Biel-Tan 0 (none) vs Orks 0 (none)

Turn 4

No teleports.

Strategy roll: Biel-Tan

The Revenant bounds forward on a double hit-and-run, blasting a Blast marker onto Stompamob 1, and then moving to grab Ork Objective 1.

The Rangers double forward to fire on Gunzmob 2, but score no hits.

The Guardians keep up their guarding by marching to surround and protect the Eldar Blitz Objective.

Gunzmob 1 salutes the lone Falcon by doubling forward and blowing it away.

The Fighta-bommaz buzz down to hammer the Aspect Warhost, wrecking another Wave Serpent.

The Aspect Warhost marshals, moving in to cover and clearing 2 Blast markers.

Stompamob 2 doubles forward, spreads out, and breaks the lone Revenant without doing any damage (Dang it!) and secures Ork Objective 1. ?(Neat thing about Supa-Stompas, with 4DC, they can be up to 20cm away from their Stompa buddies? as long as the Stompas are within 5cm of another Stompa!)

The Warboss follows the other Stompas' lead and also spreads out on a double, holding the Ork Blitz and Objective 2.

Big Gunz 2 tries to double toward the pesky Rangers, thinks better of it, ignores the orders of the Warboss, and just shoots, breaking them... (Yep, all four Supreme Commander re-rolls were failed? mainly with "snake-eyes", yet I make, and almost never fail, walker dangerous terrain test by the bucket-load!)

End of Turn: One last time, both Blitz Brigades and the Windriders fail to rally.

Score: Biel-Tan 0 (none) vs Orks 1 (DTF)

Tie-breaker: Biel-Tan 1387 vs Orks 2000 ?WAAAGH!

Thanks! Well, the scenery actually belongs to the Oakville GW Bunker... so that's why there's so much Forge World and stuff... I *wish* I had all that stuff! *laugh*

Great batrep,

I'm curious about yours and Sotec's conclusions of the Eldar vs. the Orks in this one.

Did Sotec feel the Eldar played accurately, was there anything that really felt out of wack with them considering you guys were playing the 'yet to be released' 1.5 experimental Eldar rules?

Thanks,

Someone alert the media. Tactica and I have agreed twice in one day.

I would also like to hear your feedback specific to the changes

The "Version 1.5" changes that Sotec recently posted as a "teaser" on the Specialist boards look nothing like the ver 1.5 rules we used in our games.

I believe his sneak peak at the new Eldar Codex has moved him to skip an unpublished ver 1.5 and produce a whole new rule list.

So, with that in mind, any comments about previous versions probably aren't that important anymore.

Well, other than, I really like the Swords of Vaul troupe! *laugh*
