Venue: Robinsons Galleria
Regulars Present: Henri, Ebon, BattleCaptain, Midnight, Kyuzo, with special appearance from Salubri
Other Players Present: Freddie Yu, Ryan Chung, Owen with a brief appearance from The Other Marty
Highlights:

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

Game1 BattleCaptain(Luna Wolves w/Hestan) vs. Freddie(IG w/ Witch Hunter allies - Galen 7th - The Rockhounds)
2000pts Seize Ground (3 counters), Spearhead Deployment
Draw!

Freddie in da haus! Well... Galleria actually. He brought his well-recogized army box of Rockhounds looking for some action. Well, he got it, courtesy of BattleCaptain and his Luna Wolves. The battle was long and fierce, lasting close to three hours and had to end on the 4th Turn in a draw, with the Luna Wolves and The Rockhounds claiming one objective each.

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

Game2 Henri(Iron Wolves) vs. Ebon(Order of the Clenched Fist w/Hestan)
2000pts Capture and Control, Spearhead Deployment
Ebon Wins!

Ebon controls home objective while contesting the Iron Wolves home objective to secure the win.

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

Game3 Ryan(Salamanders w/Hestan) vs. BattleCaptain(Luna Wolves... w/Hestan?!)
2000pts Capture and Control, Dawn of War Deployment
Draw!

Heard they played the last three turns with no more troops to claim any objectives but still played it out to the very end despite the draw. Good game.

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

Game4 Owen(Sisters of Battle) vs. Midnight(Space Wolves)
2000pts Annihilation, Spearhead Deployment
Midnight Wins! 12-5

Owen comes to play with lots of Sisters, and an Exorcist to boot! Midnight played like he was on a mission (well, he was... on annihilation... and well... you know), pulling off a convincing win 12 killpoints to 5.

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

Game5 Kyuzo(Black Legion) vs. Henri(Iron Wolves)
1000pts Annihilation, Dawn of War Deployment
Kyuzo Wins! 7-4

We had time for one quick game using a 4x4 table. Henri's drop pod assault got him to land a Blood Claw pack led by a Wolf Priest and a Vendread right in the heart of the Black Legion's deployment, which pretty much placed the Chaos Space Marines on the defensive right on the first turn. Only downside to the Iron Wolves tactic was the late arrival of the remaining drop pods providing the support troops and was picked off one at a time. Game ends with the Black Legion leading with 7 killpoints to 4.

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

Gaming ends at 9pm.
