Turn 4

No teleports.

Strategy Roll: Steel Legion (on a tie)

Seeing a ripe set of targets, the Marauders dive down to bomb Aspect Warhosts 1 and 2… Warhost 1 breaks while Warhost 2 takes two Blast markers.

Tank Company Alpha attempts to sustain fire, but can’t get good locks on the enemy, but fire anyway… breaking Aspect Warhost 2 by killing one Striking Scorpion, one Dire Avenger, and the last Fire Dragon Exarch and securing the Imperial Blitz.

The last Revenant sustains fire on the Mech HQ killing one Chimera, one Guardsman… and the Supreme Commander.

Falcons Red double up to fire on Sentinels Foxtrot and take out one machine.

The Thunderbolts hammer the remaining Windriders, taking out a Jetbike and breaking them.



The Ranger Troupe decides to finally leave the Cathedral… thinks better of it and regroups.

Mech Company Delta hopes to double after the fleeing Eldar, but going is slow, and they only make a single move to get closer and harass them.

Sentinels Foxtrot break instead of doubling and mingle about in confusion.

The survivors of the Mech HQ advance to reposition themselves, securing both forward Imperial Objectives and place a Blast marker on the lone Revenant…

End of Turn:

Both Aspect Warhosts rally, but are in bad shape.

*ALL* Steel Legion formations succeed at rallying!

Score:

Biel-Tan 1 (BTS) vs Steel Legion 1 (DTF)

Tiebreaker:

Biel-Tan 1400 vs Steel Legion 1625 - *EXTREMELY* narrow Imperial Victory

Turn 2
...
The Marauders brave the Revenants’ anti-air and ground attack them, doing no damage but taking the Scout Titans’ Blast marker count up to four, suppressing one of them.
...

The Revenant Titans hold their soggy ground and sustain fire on the Mech HQ, destroying three Chimeras.
...


The Avatar then bellows in rage and charges the broken Sentinels Epsilon… and can’t quite get into base contact (off by about a millimetre)… and can’t quite get any fire fight hits… and can’t quite survive the overwhelming support fire that wasn’t supposed to go off… but *does* suffer a critical hit… He wails in anguish, crashing down, placing a Blast marker on the Guardians, the distant Rangers and the nearby Revenants… which *BREAKS* them!  (Man, that did *not* go as planned…
...

Well, serves you right for Sustaining when a Marshall&Shoot could have been made!

Just saw that T4 completes the report, thanks for the report and consider that idea of using hills as islands as already stolen!
:p

Wow, exciting stuff Chroma. Thanks for posting.

I see you have as much luck as I do with Avatars. (In my case NetEpic)

The -1 to hit would've sucked... *laugh*  But, yeah, I probably should've cleared BMs... didn't expect the Avatar to go down like a punk...  *laugh*

And, I'll have to admit the "hills as islands" is an idea from certain Warmachine/Hordes league scenarios.

One thing I've gotta say, I *REALLY* liked the 3-3-2 Aspect Warrior Warhost mix!

Three Dire Avengers, three Striking Scorpions, and two Fire Dragons packed a lot of punch.

Thanks for the Batrep. It's been a while since I've read one and this one was really tense. Gotta love the nailbiters.  :smile:

Thanks for the kind words!

I've got an Eldar vs Marines batrep to put up in the near future, but I misplaced a page of notes!  Once I locate them, I'll be putting it up... and, at least in play, it was another nail-biter!
