Venue: Robinsons Galleria
Regulars Present: Kyuzo, Kuneho, Ebon, Pepelu, Deadeye, BattleCaptain, Commissar Alfred with special appearance from John
Other Players Present: Justin
Highlights:
Alfred and Jesse arrive with a 5th Ed rulebook! That pretty much throws 5th Ed games out of the HGR Beta testing. So let the games begin! :D
--------------
Game1 - Pepelu(Tau) vs. Kyuzo(Black Legion)2000pts Secure and Control Gamma (4th Ed Rules)
Pepelu Wins! Kyuzo taps out bottom of 5th
Pepelu's back to his gaming ways due to a sports injury after winning the first HGR mini-tourney. We agreed to play 4th Ed scenarios and rules, with Pepelu's mind still set on the coming GT. In the ensuing game my Chaos got outgunned by Tau and was a difficult uphill climb to come to level terms with them. One CSM squad and my Chaos Lord on bike was able to get into close combat but was not able to cause significant damage to reverse the inevitable defeat. With a termie squad surrounded by plasma toting crisis suits and gun drones and a CSM squad swamped in combat and far from securing any objective, I tap out on the bottom of fifth turn. Good game.
--------------
Game2 - Kuneho(Tyranids) vs. Ebon(Deathguard)2000pts Capture and Control, Spearhead (5th Ed Rules)
Draw!
Two veterans went at it. Not much to report on highlights coz I was playing, but I heard Kuneho had two Hive Tyrants and five(!) Carnifexes on the rampage against the tough Deathguard. Only in the taking of objectives did the carnage end up in a draw.
--------------
Game3 - Commissar Alfred(Armoured Company) vs. Deadeye(Ultramarines)2000pts Capture and Control, Dawn of War (5th Ed Rules)
Deadeye Wins! Ultramarines controlling AC objective.
Frankly, Armoured Company on 5th Ed is at a disadvantage considering all of their Troop slots are tanks which can't score. So Commissar Alfred's options are more to go for the draw or obliterate the enemy entirely. Commissar Alfred seems to be on the right track with his Leman Russ's first shot deviating on Deadeye's Biker Librarian and reducing him to a 215-pt crater. Hehehe... But Ultramarines were able to bounce back slowly taking out tanks and move his squads on Rhinos forward. Ace move would be Ultramarines parking one Rhino an disembarking their tac squad on the AC home objective with the Rhino denying any Armoured Company units from contesting for the win.
--------------
Game4 - Kuneho(Tyranids) vs. BattleCaptain(Luna Wolves)2000pts Seize Ground (5 Counters), Dawn of War (5th Ed Rules)
Draw!
Noteworthy of Luna Wolves reducing Tyranids to 1Carnifex and 1 Zoanthrope. That's six(!) tyranid monsters dead from Luna Wolf shooting and close combat. But the mission was all about objectives and one Luna Wolf squad could've pulled out the win if it were not for the fact that they were not close enough after staying in place for a chance to shoot at the lone Carnifex.
--------------
There might be no gaming this next Saturday to give way to a major card tourney. We all agreed to keep in touch in case we find an alternative venue to play.Gaming ends 8:15pm.
