Turn 1
No teleports.
Strategy roll: Tie, Biel-Tan on the re-roll.
Falcon Troupe 2 doubles forward to fire on Scout Detachment 1, taking a Blast marker from the overwatch fire of Scout Detachment 2, blasting apart both Rhinos with 5 Pulse Laser hits and moving into support range!
The Wraithgate opens and Aspect Warhost 2, mounted in their Wave Serpents, moves to engage the intermingled Land Speeder Detachment 2 and Scout Detachment 1, whose half-hearted overwatch fire has little effect.
The Land Speeders counter charge, just able to base one of the nearby Falcons, drawing them into the fight (The Falcon was positioned 10cm away, because of scout zone of control? but the Speeder counter-charges that 10cm!).
The assault is brutal: all the Scouts are wiped out, the Land Speeders make all their saves, a single Falcon survives? and the Aspect Warriors take no casualties at all? winning the fight be "1" and sending the Speeders packing! The Eldar scramble for cover against the approaching Marines.
Vindicator Detachment 2 advances on Aspect Warhost 2, unleashes a torrent of shells? and kills 1 stand of Fire Dragons.
Land Speeder Detachment 1 then jumps forward to engage Aspect Warhost 2, with the support of the Vindicators? the Land Speeders are wiped out, taking a single Wave Serpent with them? (*OUCH!*)
Windrider Troupe 2 doubles forward to place a Blast marker on Scout Detachment 2 and Biel-Tan makes a big mistake passing to the Marines. (See, there was a loaded Thunderhawk waiting in the wings and, for some reason, I failed to realize my Aspect BTS was hanging in the breeze with no anti-air cover!)
The heavily laden Thunderhawk roars in to drop off the Terminator Detachment to engage Aspect Warhost 2, with support of the Vindicators. The proud Eldar warriors are completely annihilated while the Marines lose a single stand of Terminators? (BTS in the first turn, OUCH!)
The Guardians double forward, up the hill and into cover, and fire ineffectively on the Terminators.
The Warhound Titan advances and hoses down the Guardians with anti-personal fire, destroying 2 Heavy Weapon Platforms.
Windrider Troupe 1 attempts to double forward, but their engines sputter and the only manage a single move.
Vindicator Detachment 1 marches up into the thick of things.
Swords of Vaul 3 advance to pop-up and fire on the Terminators, placing a single Blast marker.
Swords of Vaul 1 doubles forward, firing on Vindicator Detachment 1 for 1 Blast marker, and then moves into support range of the Terminators?
End of Turn: All Marine formations rally, while Windrider Troupe 1 and Swords of Vaul Troupe 2 fail.
