Turn 2 Left Flank:

The battle for the building objective rages on...

Striking Scorpions score a huge victory by breaking the Terminator Company - but the Terminators take control of the objective! Land Speeders demonstrate how deadly they can be outside of close combat by completely wiping out the Grav Tank Host! The Warlock prevents Land Raiders taking down exposed Tempests by casting an Eldrich Storm which blocks line of sight...

Turn 2: Centre Flank

Land Raider HQ attempts to steal back the crater objective but is swamped by jet-bikes. Other nearby Land Raiders are also attacked but first fire orders allow them to destroy their attackers.

Unknown to the Marine player, if the objective is not taken back, the battle will be lost. By holding back fire for other Land Raiders until advance phase, disaster is averted as the remaining jet bikes are eliminated - but only on the last throw of the dice!!!

Turn 2 Right Flank:

The Warhound advances to burn up those Guardians but the Eldar Titan springs to life and brings the Pulsars to bear. Seven shots tear into the Warhound, causing massive damage - the destruction of a weapon causes a flashback to the reactor which in turn causes a massive explosion and spectacular meltdown!

Tempests pop up but due to some horrible luck fail to cause many casualties. Land Raiders and the full might of the Devastator Company retaliate and take out two of the superheavy skimmers, furstratingly one short of break point...


Eldar: 40 VPs
Marines: 37 VPs

Turn 3 Left Flank:

Land Speeders and Rhinos leap forward to steal an objective and engage Tempests in a frontal assault.
Guardians and Striking Scorpions surround the last remaining Terminators who fight with their lives to defend the objective...

Turn 3 Centre Flank:

Having realised that the battle was nearly lost the previous turn, the Marine player sends Rhinos to defend the crater objective. The Land Raider HQ moves behind a building to open up on the Warlock Titan. The wing is damaged and the holo-fields are deactivated, leaving the Titan completely exposed...

Turn 3 End Phase Left Flank:

One Tempest manages to fight off its attackers, but the other two are not so fortunate, breaking the Tempest Warhost... and the objective falls to the Marines! Meanwhile the Terminators fight to the last and against all odds hold on to the objective in the building.

Thanks for another great report.

Curse the Space Marines for being victorious ;), but I think that you were due a result, and it seemed like a good battle.

I actually think that your nephew was a touch too aggressive early on. The Falcon host wasn't properly supported, and was needlessly destroyed, and the Tempests advanced too far forward to claim objective six, when that needed to have been left to other units. Tempests belong on the base line, well out of range of most return fire, and well out of range of charging units.

I liked the plan of attack on your bikes and Terminators, but it was just mistimed. Some shooting to soften them first, and then going in with the Jetbikes and Aspect Warriors would have been a better choice in my opinion.

You used your Land Speeders very well, and made him pay for overextending his hand too soon.

A great report! Thanks for putting it up.

I don't think you need tactical pointers from any of us to be honest.
