Main Objective : Take and hold the War Titan
Minor Objectives: Take the enemies Bunker/or Trench , Enemy Head Quarters
Special Rules: Specific pilots are nominated from each team. Nominated pilots (squad or Independent character operate (teleport engineers/pilots) and use the Titan : 6 inches from the objective controlling player can operate the Titan.

At the center of the Town is a broken Titan, abandon from the last battle. Trenches and buildings was setup near the forested area of the town. Approximately surrounded by the Trenches , ruin buildings and 4 Battle bunkers . heavily fortified surroundings makes the objective an easy target to well trenched units from any direction and attack or taking and holding it would not be easy as it is within 18-48 inches of the trenches.

Armies :
( Ultramarines supported Imperial Guards) Deadeye(ultramarines with IG) , Commisar Alfred (Armored Company with Banebaldes) Total of 6250 pts. vs. (Space Marine – Wolves ) Henri ( Space Wolves- Iron Wolves), Jesse (Pre-Heresy Luna Wolves) 6000 pts.

Deployment:
Wolves won the bidding on who deploys first

ALLIES Deployment:
The Imperial Army deployed in a phalanx formation of Alternating Heavy Armour and heavy infantry support from left to right . Group Left a group of IG infantry supported 3 to 5 Tanks (2 Leman Russ and Predator and Vindicator) , The Allies Center was made up of a Space marine contingent (Librarian) and some Heavy infantry (mostly Deadeyes contingent) While Commisar Alfred’s Armour was concentrated into 2 formation the Center– Right was given 2 Baneblades with some light infantry support from Deadeyes light infantry While the HQ was being held by the rest of the Armoured company.

Reserves: IG units have between 5-7 Airmobile infantry formations/including suicide squads (Deep Strike), 4 other IG infantry formations and 2 Terminators squads.

WOLVES Deployment :
The Luna Wolves and Space wolves decided a defensive Formation deploying heavy infantry (Long Fangs and Devastator Squads on/in or near the trenches). An infantry unit was left to defend the HQ (unfortunately it was the deepest of our line which we almost regret on the last turn)
So from left to right we evenly deployed 3 Long Fangs, 3 scouts with sniper rifles and 3 Dev squads throughout the our defensive line. In the Center –Left the Luna wolves concentrated most of our Heavy Armour ( 3 Land Raiders), Terminator squad/s – with intention as being our Titan destroyer(as we expected the Allies Attack using their sheer amount of numbers and overwhelm us and probably take the Titan while we fire on their units at long range and slow them down then use Deep strike and drop pods to finish them).
Our Reserves : Luna wolves : terminators Deep Strike
Iron Wolves 4 Drop Pods(2 Dreadnoughts, Wolf Lord w retinue, Grey Hunters), 1 Vindicator and 3 Rhinos(Rune Priest, Grey Hunters,2 BC)

Turn One:
Wolves :
Movement : heavy infantry moved to better position (trenches and ditches) intention to shoot on the second turn:
Luna wolves sent in a unit with Plasma grenade (with the intention of destroying one of the Super heavy tanks).

Mobile units moved in at the rear of the IG Left Line (manage to disrupt part of the IG Armour units that was to support the Librarian.
Fire support: No major Gunfire - we realized none of our heavy weapons will reach the IG current position.
Although we manage to get 1 wound from the Librarian which he saved !!!

Allies:
Movement : Ultramarine Librarian dashed towards the objective on his bike- the rest of the intended strike force move up to support
Allies is just 4 inches away from the titan. Dropped in his terminators near the Titan covering his Librarian to take the objective- (2 turns and the titan will rise and will be used against us).

First Shots from the Allies mostly misses but manages to some of our troops (minor losses) but many shots falls short!!! But the Luna wolves Dreadnought was Hit and lost his last Cannons.
While a unit of airborne infantry dropped behind our lines and Blew up the Land Raider Terminus. “ Holy Crapp that’s the only tank we have that can stand up to the Titan, the 2 remaining Baneblade” !!! Luckily it hit the squad the blew it up- as consolation- unfortunately it also killed a sniper from my wolf scouts. . . Its force decision next turn for the wolves.

Close combat continues with terminators and dreadnought edging the Ultramarines 1-2.

Turn Two :

Wolves:
Deployment of reserves :
Drop pods Moved in to surround the Cut off units of the Ultramarines from the rest of their Army – we must stop that Librarian!!!. The Units from the Luna Wolves was posed to hammer the Isolated Ultramarines. While we give supporting and covering fire (also effectively covering the line of Site from enemy tanks against the bulk of our units :D ) From our drop pods . using them as shields from heavy long range fire support of the IG – Heavy Guns .

Movement
My Rhinos and Vindicator from the Flank started to stem off the armour support units

Shooting :
The Luna Wolves hit the Ultramarines Hard but failed to Finish off them off . The iron wolves gave whilthering fire to destroy the remnants of his force (the librarian is down to 1 wound. – ( Next turn or else TITAN LIVES!!!)

Destroying a tank and damaging a Leman Russ. (Forced the Allies to turn and attack the units. The scout blew a Leman Russ Battle cannon .
Rune priest Called the storm on him giving him 5+ cover – save

Assault. Assault by the Luna Wolves on the Ultramarine units deciminated its numbers to 1 and as the Ven Dread Helped finish him off with Power fist attack . Close combat have started to tilt the favor on our side.

Allies Turn :
Reserves comes in for the IG – This time they had the advantage Drop behind enemy lines at lease 4 airborne squads 2 1 turn from our HQ which was under defended (1-5-man squad), then just behind my disembarked units Loads of Infantry (4 -10man IG squads ) popped from their deployment zone to shoot at my units behind: (THIS MOVE Created a problem for us our own HQ will be overrun!!! in the next few turns and with no possibility of counter attack from any of our forces …Tactically outstanding for the IG Kudos!!!)

Flank action:
Shooting the whole Allies where busy – immobilized my Rhinos and destroyed my Vindicator battle cannon – Scouts and Grey hunters to lest than 2 units each!!!
The 4 IG troops choose the Rune priest as their target Miracles do Happened !!! He survives 40 Shots with his last wound!!! 30 Misses from 2 laspistols , 3 meltagun shots. And saved on a cover save on the Plasma Pistol shot !!!
“ All that shots for 2 wounds!!!” – “Alfred use your battle cannon against the blood Claws .. “ Deadeye answered

Center of the line
Heavy Fire support was given to the Ultramarines from long range Battlecannon to great effect almost halve if not destroyed the Luna wolves attacking units (infantry 3 terminators was lost and 4 Space marines !!!

Assaults: BC attacked and destroyed the remaining IG troops in front the Rune Preist and the 2 grey hunters whipped the 6 man strong but manages to run !!!

Turn 3 – Wolves Hold the the Center But no pilots available to use the Titan!!(he got killed during the assault) The Iron wolves pilot was busy fighting IG n the flank!!!.

ALLIES
Movement :
Here we saw the movement of the 2 baneblades and all IG tanks towards the center to retake the Titan .. (a bit little to late )

Shooting : the open fire at all visible targets :D
Unlucky shots 1 shot by the baneblade misses and killed the IG from behind – saving the Power armored Luna Wolves to hold the HQ objective – Lucky miss!!!
But they manage to knock down my Dreadnought and blew up the Ven Dread !!!

Dead eye decided to move and shoot instead of assaulting my BC formation. Deciminated it to 4 units. While the shooting comes to an end!!! Failing to take the HQ and drop pods Held the Tanks where they are as it needed to take a detour to reach the target :D effectively blocking the Advance


Almost a Win for The Wolves on the Last Turn

I on the other hand consolidated my position and took the objectives

Allies Last hurrah !!!
Comisar Alfred already decided to withdraw but the ultramarines energized to salvage a devastating last turn to take as many wolves as he can and continued the last turn shooting at anything that isn’t IG :D He was able to kill the rune priest and finish off 2 more Luna wolves in PA and destroyed the scouts and the remaining Blood claws.
