Sauron1 writes; We have just returned from our Wargame club where we enjoyed
an Epic game on one of our 6'x12' terrained tables. The game was of a
meeting action between two heavy recognizance forces looking for the
oppositions flanks.
A force of Snakebites with 12 additional stands of Wildboys and 8
stands of Madboys,6 bone crushers and a cyberboar cult of speed of 20 stands
of cyberborgs was flank company to the Ork WAG advance.
A rapid response force of Two Revenants, 6 Warwalkers, 6 Spirit Walkers
and 12 other Eldar Dreadnoughts were the Eldar force probing for the soft
rear echelons of the Ork advance.
The Eldar waited until the Orks were half way down the length of the board
when they hit the right exposed flank of the Cyber cult of speed,
unfortunately the Orks won initiative. Inthe opening CC the Ork Cyberboars
destroyed 5 of the attackers. But in the firefight the firepower of the
Eldar destroyed the Cult of speed and caused the Wildboys to flee. The Mad
boys setabout arguing with each other and the Snakebite clan reformed to
their right flank. The six tanks all missed.
On the next turn the Revenants firepower was applied to the newly
exposed Ork flank to their front, but their fire power was ineffectual. The
Walkers fire power exchange with the Orks proved to be devastating to both
sides but the Orks got the worst of it. In the next turn the Ork leader
decided to retreat towards his main support, as this is a campaign game. And
he new the light forces of the Eldar are no match for the Goffs and their
Gargants coming up behind him.
On a large table, light units such as thease can show the sweeping
moves Epic is able to create on the board. The Eldar deployed to late from
their gully hiding place, as the Orks were able to charge into CC, and their
Dreadnoughts were not as efficient in CC verses the Cyberboars as Eldar
would have liked.
