(special card freebooterz)
sm fielded
warlord battle battle group
2 devastator comps.
1 tactical comp.
1 land raider comp.
1 machanized support comp.
(supported by hellhounds)
1 leman russ comp.
(supported by ?)
1 baneblade comp.
(supported by 9 thunderbolts(?))
2 artillery comps.
(supported by additional basilisk, bombard and griffon detach.)
1 commissar yarrick
(there was some more but i do not remenber what)
i've won the initiative
movement:
(we forgot about the flyers)
i charged forward with the goffs, mekboy gargant and the supporting
magas(full zoggin' speed ahead!) (got two objectives)
he advanced with leman russ comp.
i charged them with the kult of speed and with the help of the squig fuel
injector(+28 cm) got 5 nobzbikez into close combat with leman russ (the
board was smaller than i thought). (1 objective)
to my very amazement he did not move his marines and wasted them on first
fire with no LOS
my evil sunz advanced and claimed 3(!) objectives (thanks to thraka)
bad moonz and big mob advanced
he only advanced with his mech. comp. and did not disembark!
my pulsas and shokk-atacks claimed another two objectives
first fire
i will only mention the most spectecular things
had no LOS to artillery and fired 3 pulsas into densely packed devastators
(got 2 hits and one scatter of only 3cm)
two(!) pulsas blew up with a 6 and the other with a 4 = first
company broken
he fired griffons at goffs and got only 3 boyz and 1 nob (thanks to
the deflector)
i broke mech. comp with another deadly salvo of pulsas
he destroyed 5 shields of one mega with a warlord (no shot penetrated)
i destroyed a warlord with goff nobz (we weren't sure about first fire
after being transported) and the thing nearly crashed on yarrick
he killed 10 units of my kult of speed with artillery
prevented battery of bombards to fire (with shokk-attacks)
suffered some minor losses to bad moons and evil sunz
( he almost never had LOS)
he destroyed another 3 shields of mega with warlord (two shots penetrated -
causing hull damage and a fire)
close combat
broke leman russ comp. with nobz warbikez
advanced fire
broke his baneblades and two artillery detach. with megas
(broke some other detachs. which i do not remember)
no other unit was able to fire (out of range or no LOS)
end phase
extinguished fire on mega
the game ended 91 to 25
the battle took us about 6 hours and three pizzas
(including setup, the admiring of beautifully painted units, argueing
about salami or ham, etc.)
i guess his biggest mistake was that he did not move with his marines
and that he wasted lots of shots on the deflectors and megas
and if he would have fielded all air units he got at hand it would
have been tough going
i can say that this battle was real fun (he fielded no imperator -
i was really afraid of facing this monster) and that orks are capable
of smashing almost anyone and anything
hope i didn't mix up too much
thanks again to all who supported
(sorry for any mistakes....blah, blah)
carsten
