HGR Journal Entry No. 053 - Prey On The Weak...

Date: May 3, 2008
Venue: Robinsons Galleria
Regulars Present: Ebon, Sigismund, Balian, Midnight, Kyuzo with special appearance from Salubri
Other Players Presnt: Marty, Henri, Alfred, Jesse
Highlights:

The boyz resumed gaming hostilities after a couple of weeks off from the Galleria gaming scene. Oh, and a belated Happy Birthday to Jesse(April 29) too!

--------------

Game1 Marty(Tau) vs. Henri(Space Wolves-Iron Wolves)
2000pts Recon Gamma
Henri Wins!

Saw the closing Turns of this game, with Henri edging out on Victory Points.

--------------

Game2 Ebon(Space Marines-Dark Angels) vs. Sigis(Space Marines-Blood Ravens)
1750pts Cleanse Alpha
Ebon Wins!

Sigismund turned turtle on this game, with Blood Ravens staying within their home quarter for three turns before cautiously venturing out with his Terminators and Bikers on the table edges. Ebon took his time picking off Blood Ravens through systematic shooting before committing his Assault Squads into close combat when Blood Raven Bikers and Terminators got too close.

Game ends with Ebon claiming three quarters to Sigismund's one.

--------------

Game3 Midnight(Space Wolves) vs. Alfred(IG with Daemonhunter Allies)
2000pts Secure and Control Gamma 4 Control Points
Midnight Wins!

This was a good one. Alfred's Imperial Guard is getting better with their tank tactics, providing solid defense and scary shooting. Space Wolves were also methodic in their approach to get into close combat with meltabombs and landspeeders. Alfred taps out on the 5th Turn for Midnight to secure the win.

--------------

Game4 Kyuzo(Dark Eldar) vs. Jesse(Space Marines-Luna Wolves)
2000pts Recon Omega
Kyuzo Wins!

Game took 9 Turns! Luna Wolves and Dark Eldar went the distance on this one.

Dark Eldar had nothing on the table to start out the turn. Their only saving grace was when on the second, practically EVERYONE came in except for one Raider with Wyches! Dark Eldar went to concentrate on a speedy advance to one flank, preying on two Dev squads an one Dreadnought while the Luna Wolf Terminators and Land Raiders have not yet arrived. Luna Wolf Veteran Squads followed by a Librarian with Terminator retinue tried to control the center, only to be attacked by Wyches and Archon with Incubi hiding behind the hill.

Of note among the Luna Wolves is the Veteran Squad's Rhino tank shocking raiders and troops on the later turns, even chasing off a squad of Reaver Jetbikers in the process. Extended game length went the full distance of nine turns with the Luna Wolves' Assault Terminators touching down against The Kabal's Wych Squad, two Raider Squads, and a Ravager.

Good game.

Some note-worthy episodes and sightings outside the gaming tables. Here's to list a few:

Balian's Bad Mojo moment...
Mom/Ate in Pink!
And who would forget the History 7 Girl!

Salubri, Balian and Kyuzo then proceeded to have dinner at Quattro... for a change. Dinner took a little longer, capping off the night with a cocktail advertisement that we just had to ask the waiter for copy and show you how much that capped off our evening. :D

Session ends 10pm-ish.
