Battle Report - Star Wars

 Hello All,

Time for more Star Wars. We again have the Droid army vs Duncan and Stan's imperial.

I decided to try out Count Dooku as the leader this time with various new stuff.

We also used the objective and set up cards, just picking randomly. Battle was to capture supplies, with no conditions. Set up was a complicated corner.

Set up and a bit into turn 1. Basically advancing up and shoot8ng whatever was in range.

Star of round 2. I kept all the droids focused on the objectives, all units just advancing and trying ti get those, others taking shots where possible. Am able to deal with the forward storm troopers who are close to objectives, but otherwise taking allot of damage.

Turn 3, Cad Bane is damage by boba and unceremoniously killed off by other stuff. The bigger droids advance to cover the smaller droids retreat with the goodies. The droidikas went diwn hard but absorbed allot of fire. 

More falling back, except the heroic spider droid, who keeps the Imperial warn with his flamer then blows up in their face. The emperor hurt dookus feeling at the start of this turn giving him 4 pins which was also pretty annoying.

Next turn the Imperial guard are getting close, so dooku decodes to try some fun, zapping them with lightning and getting into a sword fight.

At this point it's 4:30 and i have 3 objectives to the Imperials zero, so I declare myself the winner and go home.

All in all a fun game. Really need to paint my tank, and maybe the Droid version of the Imperial guard. Also want to try a cheaper commander. Having dooku roided out on upgrade cards hiding behind a house was not that satisfying somehow!

Anyway Star Wars is fun so surely more ti come.

Thanks;

Mike

Battke Report - Bagration Turn 1

 Hello All,

Duncan and I played our turn 1 campaign game this weekend. Since heavy tanks were so popular in my last report, I decided ti take some tigers again, with panzer 4s and some rockets. Facing off against quite allot of t34s.

Mission roll gave us free for all, not my fav mission, but probably for the best to not have reserves. I took the tiger ace card as ots fun, roll the ace so I get to choose and went for rapid fire.

Here we have the russian plains.

German turn 1 annoyingly, every thing counts as moving so not to effective shooting wise.

The soviet horde advances.

I take some shots, and scoot back into cover. Get a few kills so can't complain to much.

SU 100s try ti flank the tigers but miss. On the right the t34s are really chipping away at the panzer 4s, and the air support is helping them. Going to be tough to hold.

Tigers try ti blitz but fail and advance to try and cover the objective. The infantry kills 1 su100 with a panzerfauat and pushes the rest back.

T34s mostly stay still and bring the pa8n on the panzer 4s. While the is2 hide, and the su100 move back out of the town.

Time for the tigers to shine! They get 6 hits on the t34s, but only pass 1 firepower! Luckily the infantry is there to cover and take all but 2 in assault. Still on the right things are looking dire.

Russian turn, you may see an issue. They clear out all the tanks and Artillery on the right, leaving the objective open. Also shoot up the infantry pretty good.

In the end the tigers are ti far and to unlucky to break that platoon.

So despite allot of murder, it's an 8-1 fir the russkies. The armored panzer grenadier is destroyed.

Thanks;
