Turn 1
Strategy roll: Marines
Speeder Detachment 1 revs its engines, advancing on the nearby Stompamob? and dismantles 2 of the Ork walkers with melta fire, sending the survivor running for the hills.
Whirlwind Detachment 2 has some communication difficulties on which enemy formation to target and, over the WAAAAAGHing of the Orks, even the Supreme Commander is unable to get through to them. (*SIGH*!)
Kult of Speed 1 also revs its engines, racing forward on a double to shoot at Speeder Detachment 1, placing a single Blast marker.
The Stormboyz jump forward to engage the co-mingled Speeder 1 and Scout 2 Detachments, but wide up biting off more than they cans chew as only 2 Deth Koptas survive to flee the conflict for the Orks, and all the Marines still stand firm? FOR THE EMPEROR!
Whirlwind Detachment 1 sustains fire on the Big Gunzmob taking out 1 Nob, 2 Big Gunz, and 1 Supa-Zappgun.
Speeder 2 doubles up to the Gunzmob, but only places a single Blast marker.
The Warband with Battlefortress doubles to fire on Speeder 2, but does no damage.
Thunderbolt Squadron 1 streaks down out of the heavens to strafe the Gunzmob, but the forest protects them from any direct harm.
Scout Detachment 3 mounts up and doubles towards the Warboss's Warband, and places a single Blast marker for their troubles.
Buffeted from all sides and badly shot up, the Gunzmob attempts to rally in the face of many enemies? but even the loud bellowings of the Warlord don't help as the gunnaz fail to marshal and break, heading back towards the Ork table edge?
Scout Detachment 2 runs forward to engage Kult of Speed 1, who counter-charges into Speeder 1! ?Again the Orks just can't face the heat and, after two rounds of fighting, the Kultists are wiped out for the cost of 2 Marine Scouts.
Seeing a nasty opportunity, the Kaptin of the Blitz Brigade guns their engines and they zoom forward to engage Speeder Detachment 2? which just happens to be co-mingled with Scout 2 and Speeder 1, who are, mainly, obscured by the hill and the rock formation on top of it! ?The fight is surprisingly lop-sided as 2 Gunwagonz and 1 Warbike are crisped and only 1 Speeder is knocked out of the air? still, it's close and the Marines only manage to win by "1", sending the Orks reeling back.
The Librarian orders his trainees forward as Scout Detachment 1 doubles on the Battlefortress Warband and inflicts 1 DC damage on the war engine.
Kult of Speed 2 roars forward on a double to fire on Scout 3, killing 1 unit of Scouts.
The Ork Warlord unleashed the WAAAGH by engaging Scout 3, wiping them out, and only losing a single Grot in the process!
Speeder 3 doubles on the Battlefortress Mob, laying a single Blast marker.
The Fighta-bommaz smoke across the sky to intercept Thunderbolt Squadron 2, but the Imperial planes jink and suffer no damage.
Thunderbolt Squadron 2 drops down to strafe the broken Gunzmob and, when the smoke clears, a single Big Gun is all that remains.
Scout HQ advances on Kult of Speed 2 and manages to take out 1 unit of Bikes and 1 Skorcha.
End of Turn: All Marine formations rally, while only the Fortress Warband and Kult of Speed 2 manage to remove Blast markers for the Orks.
All aircraft formations left the table on "friendly" edges.
[We turned the table around because all our notes and drinks were on the opposite side from which each of us had deployed]
