Rules of Engagement: Warhammer 40k
Highlights:
--------------
Game1 - Balian(Steel Falcons) vs. Kyuzo(Chaos Space Marines)2000pts Secure and Control Alpha (5 counters)
Balian Wins! (Balian claims 3 counters with 1 contested against none claimed by Kyuzo)
I had to be aggressive on this one, or the Steel Falcon light show will punish you in the middle rounds if you're caught out in the open. "Word In Your Ear" screwed up my Havoc squad position and subsequently fail in guarding the flank where the Predators and Landspeeders advanced. On the other flank, I was lucky in Deep Striking the Khorne Terminator squad right behind enemy lines and kill off a couple of Steel Falcons as well as the Inquistor Lord. Daemon Prince got to take out the Scout squad, the (pesky) Calidus Assassin and Librarian. Balian in typical fashion zoomed out his Landspeeders on the last turn (really my fault in not eliminating that threat) to claim three points, contesting one and doing nothing else but do the HBK pose and say, "I'm done". +P
Good game.
--------------
Game2 - Sigismund(Blood Ravens) vs. Salubri(Deathwing)2000pts Recon Gamma
Salubri Wins via VP!
--------------
Game3 - Henry(Space Wolves) vs. Marty(Tau)1500pts Seek and Destroy Gamma
Draw!
It's been a hard fought game between two players playing their first game. In the end it was a hard fought draw with a couple of lessons for both players to carry into their next games.
--------------
Game4 - Ebon(Death Guard) vs. Salubri(Deathwing)2000pts Cleanse Alpha
Joel Wins!
This was the proverbial "fun game went serious" between Ebon and Salubri who just realized they haven't played against each other in a little over two years now. Deathwing Landraiders' misfortunes continued for being immobilized in the early turns. Deathguard advance was hard to stop, winning out over the Deathwing's brave stand.
--------------
Game5 - Balian(Dark Angels) vs. Ike(The Azure Blades - Space Marines)1500pts Secure and Control Alpha (4 counters)
Balian Wins! (Balian claims 3 counters against Ike's 1)
Whoa. Balian's got TWO armies in the bag?! Balian brought Ike to school with an all-infantry Dark Angel army. Game went through the whole stretch with Balian doing a second HBK move for the day.
--------------
Game6 - Sigismund(Blood Ravens) vs. Kyuzo(Chaos Space Marines)2000pts Cleanse Omega
Kyuzo Wins via VP!
Some payback against the Blood Ravens, who deployed their initial troops out a little thin. Thin enough to be picked out one by one by the Chaos Space Marines. Game ended with a titanic showdown with the Chaos Sorcerer Killing the Blood Raven Commander with this force weapon and dying by the Perils of the Warp with its death blow. Blood Ravens had only the Terminators on the table against close to half of the forces of Chaos.
--------------
Other new players of note. John's currently working on a Tyranid army (Maybe about 1/4 the way. Ouch.) and his brother Mike just showed his drop pod from plasticard (Maybe he can make LOT more for the others too. :D).Some Quotable Quotes:
"Independent Characters can't score."
"Somebody's lost his bearings." - Balian's comment after picking up a ball bearing out of nowhere.
