TURN2

The Tau center prepare to move in
nearly all units are untuched
most of my units had advanced in the center
I wanted to get as much as possible units into range, especially the battlesuites which had too less targets
on their way forward they destroyed 2 ironshields and some bikes

No movement on the Squat left wing except the pretoreans and the bikers
they charged the pathfinder sniper and the Hunter Cadre command unit...they get all guned down (never charge first fire battlesuites)
only a few survived to take the pathfinder sniper with them
The colossus killed more tanks,battlesuites and fire warriors

The Tau Air Cast joined the game
haha  his aa-unit is out of range and has enough to do with the manta landing straight beside him
short ranged Inf. is the only thing he can bear

but..but whats that I completely forgot about a unit of thunderes right in front of my flyers
no not again I am seeing my flyers guned down amour save +3 is not that strong aginst 15 attack dice
but while comlaining around he rolled only 2 hits and I managed to save at least 1 TS..now it was my turn...

The flyers did a medium job destroying a thunderer stand a gyrocopter and agoliath mega cannon

The Manta cadre landed on the left side of the squat right wing
while disembarking, the battlesuit command unit, picked up the thunder fire cannons(which scored zero hits on the manta) a goliath cannon with their plasma and missile pods
and 3 of the grand warlords bodyguards

the 4 fire warrior detachments advanced forward

a few shots were aimed at the manta but bounced of the advanced shield technology used by tau air cast
in return he launched its huge weaponary upon the enemy
2 warriors,the grand warlord and his last bodyguard and an overlord amoured airship were the prey of this sliding death

another building collapsed by the Cyclop´s main weapon
the gunfights stayed harmless due to "out of range"
I dont know if he moved any unit except pretoreans airships and bikes, after turn 1
But the last bikes of Comp. No3. were gunned down by kroots, stealthsuites and battlesuites
only 2 bikes were left after turn 2
but they slaughtered
2 stealth suites units
1 pathfinder unit
1 pathfinder sniper unit
and 1 1/2 Fire Warrior unit
and soak up a lot of fire

The Leviathan rolls forward to bring all of his weapons in range

The 2nd  last bike
as you can see the Tigersharks dropped their drones right upon the tau hill
to make sure no bike survived

The last Picture

TURN 3
I forgot to take pictures at all this turn
Not really much happened
since this dammed pretoreans soak up a huge amount of fire

The manta managed to kill the green cyclops with help from the battlesuits
but the Leviathan and colossus did not want to die
the combined fire of the manta , the last hammerheads,2 units of battlesuites and some kroot units only managed to destroy, 2 Lascannons do some hulldamage and crippling the bridge on a roll of 4
cool crippling... hey wait a moment halfed CAF no further COMMAND abillity WHAT! No reduced fire power I rolled a 4!
what happend to a titan rolling a 4 on his bridge?

The other firesponge was the Colossus
stripping its shields with the boardsides (still intact )
and tried to kill him with 2 barracudas and 1 Tigershark
I destroyed 2 Battlecannons

The squat player killed 3 more hammerheads enought to breake all 3 Cadres
along with the hunter Cadre and a unit of fire warriors and kroot carnivores
which gives him additional 25 victory points!

Points:

Squat: 57 (2Objektives) HA! no movement

Tau:67 (5 Objektives)

But I destroyed a Cyclops and damaged  the colosssus and Leviathan so a fourth turn could have been nasty for the squat player



I hope you can enjoy the battlereport a bit


best regrads

massive battle.

I'm getting my squats ready to roll.

Just won 2 large squat bids on ebay. Should have enough for a grand army to rival yours.

Next thing is to find a cyclops that isn't like $80 heh.

Nice !!!    Big Battle on the floor !!
