Incursion Highlights:
It was Sunday the next day and almost like clockwork I was able to round up the few Regulars who are willing to take on this recon mission to the South. We arrived just a little after lunch, just in time to help set up tables out of habit to the surprise of the NG ATC people.
The battleground...
The HGR First Wave: BattleCaptain, Deadeye, Grimnir, and Henri
Only a few minutes into the Incursion we already got a crowd gathering...
---------------------
Game1 - BattleCaptain(SM-Ravenguard) vs. Grimnir(SM-Imperial Fists)Mission: 1500pts Seize Ground (5 Objectives)
Deployment: Pitched Battle
Result: BattleCaptain Wins! 2-0
The HGR troops got restless so they decided to play some "friendly" games against each other to sharpen up on some tactics. In this game BattleCaptain's Shrike-led Space Marines defeats Grimnir's Imperial Fists 2 objectives to none.

Game2 - Deadeye(IG-533rd Cadian BattleForce) vs. Rod(Chaos Space Marines)Mission: 1500pts Capture and Control
Deployment: Spearhead
Result: Deadeye Wins! 1-0
Rod was the first to arrive among the South players. He was a little shell-shocked at the arrival of the Regulars and pressing him into a game while waiting for this schedule match against Paul. Good thing he was willing to give it a go starting out with Deadeye's Imperial Guard.

---------------------
Game3 - Kyuzo(CSM-Black Legion) vs. Henri(SW-Iron Wolves)Mission: 1000pts Capture and Control
Deployment: Dawn of War
Result: Draw!
I contented myself in going up against Henri's Iron Wolves in an all too familiar scenario against an all too familiar opponent. All too familiar draw was a testament to Henri's improved tactics.
---------------------
Game4 - Roe(SM-Blood Angels) vs. Grimnir(SM-Imperial Fists)Mission: 1000pts Seize Ground (3 Objectives)
Deployment: Spearhead
Result: Roe Wins via Tapout!
Roe's Blood Angels in da haus! Now being the Schemer that I was (Tzeentch guided my hand I guess :P), I thought it was a good idea to set his beautifully painted army against Grimnir's Imperial Fists. Things would've ended quite differently if only the Imperial Fists Terminators came in earlier... well, the pictures speak for themselves. Hehehe...
Now THAT's a Blood Angel army boys and girls!
For the Blood Angels first trick, we'll make these Imperial Fists disappear...
Sarge, where have our BattleBrothers gone to?
---------------------
Game5 - Jhei(Nids) vs. BattleCaptain(SM-Ravenguard)Mission: 1000pts Seize Ground (4-Objectives)
Deployment: Dawn of War
Result: BattleCaptain Wins! 2-1-1
South players started coming out of the woodwork from thereon in. Jhei arrives and brings out his Tyranids against BattleCaptain's Raven Guard. Some heavy defensive fire and gaps in the HiveFleet's offensive ends in the Space Marines claiming two objectives to the HiveFleet's one with one more objective contested.

The Nids are without number...
---------------------
Game6 - Rod(Chaos Space Marines) vs. Paul(SM-Ultramarines)Mission: 1500pts Annihilation
Deployment: Pitched Battle
Result: Rod Wins! 8-2
Paul finally arrives just in time for his grudge match against Rod. Watched this game every now and then, with Chaos methodically taking out Ultramarine units while Lashing termies away from the fight. Despite last turn heroics by Marnius Calgar, Rod wins eight killpoints to the Ultramarines' two.

Grudge match was long...
...and hard fought
Ouch...
Like a scene out of a movie... Awoooh! Awoooh! :P
---------------------
Game7 - Roe(SM-Blood Angels) vs. Deadeye(IG-533rd Cadian BattleForce)Mission: 1000pts Annihilation
Deployment: Dawn of War
Result: Draw! 5-5
For a 1000pt game this took a little longer than usual, with Roe being outnumbered by reckless IG almost three to one. A hard fought draw was all there is to see when the dust settled.
---------------------
Game8 - Jhei(Necrons) vs. Henri(SW-Iron Wolves)Mission: 1000pts Seize Ground(3 Objectives)
Deployment: Dawn of War
Result: Henri Wins! Necrons phase out on the 5th turn.
Jhei calls up for another game, this time bringing out Necrons! And with a monolith at 1000pts! Whatda?! This was unexpected card pulled out by the South and before I knew it Henri decided to step up. Somewhere in the middle game a critical sweep of the Necron Lord proved the Necrons' downfall as they slowly reached phaseout numbers at the start of the 5th turn.

Gasp! Is that who I think it is?!
This is actually the girl who's playing the cool Blood Angels army ;)
And this is Grimnir after his game against the girl. LOL.

All in all I'd say the incursion was a success. Looks like we made new friends and had fun. Guess the South Sector will have trouble sleeping with the knowledge that we'll be coming back... Just a matter of when. ;)
