Battle Report - The Old World - ogres vs beasts

 Hello Folks,

Another battle report from last weekends gaming at Fandom. 1500 point lists to practice for Cangames was the idea.

I took my ogres and ended up playing some beasts with lots of ogre sized models.

Here's the set up, line of big dudes, iron guts in the back with the butcher.

Turn 1 mostly just advancing, but stay still with the leadbelchers to try some shots, all miss.

Beasts advance aggressively more the willing to take a charge.

Who am I to deny them! Ogres with the brushes beat up some minotaur, who roll bad and break, panicking the dragon ogres. Oh dear. Also beat the ogres on the flank.

Both units fail to rally, but a chariot gets my flank killing a unit.

That leaves his flank for the guts to smash and carry into the minotaur.

Minotaur loose and get run down, dragon ogres still can't rally.

So that's that really, very bad luck for the beasts, but risky to put all your eggs in only 2 baskets!

We played a second game that went much better, I lost a bit on points. But only 1 set of pics a day.

We also had a brets vs Empire game

Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - Battletech

 Hello Folks,

Felt like playing some classic battletech today so headed down to join the battletech day at Fandom.

I was advised to bring a force of about 5-6000bv2 so took a few comstars guys to have some fun.

Mercury

Exterminator

Black Knight

King Crab

Just a kill game

Here's the setup, couple of lances advancing into town to Duke it out.

King Crab lumbering forward, while mercury dashes in for a strike.

Mercury and a spider having a scrum while black knight tries to get in the flank.

Chase goes off around the industrial stuff, but King Crab is able to back up a try a couple of AC20 shots, but no luck. Black Kinght gets some shots I to his rear.

The mercury spider chase comes around full circle, the spider attacks King crab show lands a nice ac20 shot, souder I'd just standing. Black Kight takes heavy fire and falls.

Get right into slugging range, perfect for the Crab who lands a pair of AC20 hits stripping the torso armor from grasshopper. Mercury tried to use his MASC to make a run, but it failed and he went down taking very heavy damage. But exterminator was there dishing it out in revenge.

At this point ran out of time, but it was a fun game. Relatively even still so I guess a draw.

Thanks;

Mike

Battle Report - Warhammer 40k 3rd ed

 Hello All,

Time for another battle report, this time playing some classic 40k 3rd edition!

Took my new Blood Angels to fight some space orks, we played cleanse, just capture table quarters nice and simple.

Here's the set up, rhino full of marines to take 1 quarter, scouts and a tank to take another. Terminators to hold diwn the middle.

Orks cone out fighting sending sons killer fans diwn the middle and death choppers around. I stun 1 Kan with my missile launcher, and the predator gets 2/3 if the choppers.

Missed a turn or 2 of pictures, but my marines got over run by the orcs, terminators fought of the Kansas but took heavy damage. Now the warboss is getting ready to charge my leader.

They kill each other in a mighty challenge! And sweeping advance to my tank.

Terminators form a libe to hold off the orcs, while the tank drives ahead and shoots uo the warbosses nobs. Getting to the point where the ork units are all small and morale is becoming a problem.

Orks do some shooting buy fail to rally the nobs, nit much success with the killing either.

Final turns, the Terminators are able to shoot 1 unitvof orks up really bad and charge the other, scouts get the nobs, and the tank finishes the last unit.

Bloody and close game but the marines are able to tough it out and stay on top!

Very fun to play thd old edition again!

Thanks;

Mike
