So; what happened...

Chung and i both played marines keeping our contingents secret. In chungs first contingent (and the one that i chose to move on first) were:

-Devastators + Land Raiders
-Terminators + SC
-Tacticals + Razorback
-Assault Marines w/Chaplain

Second Contingent to follow:
-Warhounds
-Terminators
-Tacticals
-Thunderbolts
-Landspeeders


In my force were:
-Thunderhawk
-Assault Marines/Chaplain
-Assault Marines
-Bikes/Chaplain
-Bikes
-Land Speeders,
-Land Speeders
-Typhoons
-Whirlwinds/Hunter

Switch out those Warhounds for the assualt marines when i realised i couldn't conceal them!

FIRST TURN

Landraider Tacicals advance first, marching all the way centre table (due to the way we think first turn movement works and straight into the OW fire of two units of Landspeeders! The game is on almost instantly!

Chungs remaining formations spread out in a fan from the road attemping to find out what enemies are lurking nearby but the two on one flank turn out to be duds whilst on the other some assault marines suffer casualties from massed typhoon fire!



I choose to reveal my Whirlwinds and bikes lurking at the back for support and ready for an assault next turn.  Unbeknowest to Chung there are no more formations on the table; only a rather nasty air assault waiting till turn three...

TURN TWO

The start of this turn and CHung get's the initiative; scred senseless by the idea of artillery pounding his lines he sends in some fighters to deal with them...none are shot down by the Hunter but no casaulties in return; the bikers keep thier heads down!

Play passes to me and i attempt to wipe out the land raiders devastatorsm, first Sustaining with one Landspeeder formation and then failing to retain to assault with the other...curse not taking a Supreme Commander! What's more the formation still isn't broken!
Safe in the knowledge that the centre table isn't under threat now chung blows away my typhoons as two warhound titan's appear from nowhere!

The Typhoon that remans runs to the protection of the bikes and whurlwinds who later on move forward to cover from terminator attack and such.

Whilst some landspeeders come screaming up the table to blow up mine!

In later turns units of landspeeders failing thier acitcations and floating mid air whilst taking melta shots of each other would become a recurring theme...

In the fog of war some other movements are made but all prove to be unimportant./manoeuvring into position for next turn.

TURN THREE:

The inevetiable terminator assault occurs (whilst Chung's footslogging boys are stuck on the other side of the table) attempting to stop the Whirlwind thread but i get to go first this time and manage to counter attack with the bikes: with a blast marker from teleporting the terminators lose easily...

However as recompense Chungs bikes and landseeders blow my two remaining formations of Gravborne away with sustained fire and an assault!

My Broken and batered marines run to the hills...


The whirlwinds proceed to finally break the Landraiders.

At which point those Warhounds continue thier rampage threatening to blow up my bikes...however, as the dice to tesify my armour saves were rather good...

TURN FOUR:

Final turn! and i get to go first again, hurrah! Luck is on my side...until...Bike sqaudron 1 attempts to go round and cut off the warhounds ready for bike sqaudron 2 to assault and destroy the terminators; this doesn't work as bike 2 fails it's activation (always...ALWAYS take a Supreme Commander say's Ryan!), Leaving the warhounds to viscously pillage/destroy the bikes that are now in the way...


MEAnshilst the whirlwinds who are still sitting pretty prep the double points cost tactical marines for an air assault planned later this turn whislt Chung foolishly (well...to be fair to him he just hadn't figured out that there was a thunderhawk full of assault marines yet...) Moves his bikes and such forward towards said tactical marines...

before:

A aformentioned T.hawk turns up and blows things to crap...

Followed by some rather nasty counter attacks that, alas, don't really go Chungs was as the terminators only just managed to reach into support range and the dice don't go his way.

At this point the game ended...several of my formations were certainly battered and down to one 'man' but the destrcution of two expensive enemy formations (tacticals and devastators) meant that THe Crimson Fists won the day 2800 to 1300pts.


VICTORY!
