Operation Patch

Mission: R.2. Bunker Assault

Turn 3:

Retreating from the storm of fire from the Warboss's trukk, the remaining  Blood Claw Bikes fall back, and regroup near the ruined farmhouse.   Across the entire front the Space Wolves, except for the Leman Russ and the Whirlwind  advance.  With a scream, the missiles from the Whirlwind reach out and crash down among the 'ard boyz, but does little more than cover them in fresh dirt.

Biterolf returns the ork dreadnought's fire, but his assault cannon is unable to find a weak spot in the machines armor.  Another git falls to the Iron Preist, but this time the slaver's whip is enough to keep them in line. The Rhino manages to kill two burna boyz in the trenches, and its passangers account for another. Despite their losses, the burnas hold fast, trusting in their numbers.

The Leman Russ shifts targets, and rakes the ork buggy squadren with autocannon fire. The shoota buggy gets stunned, and a trakk gets ripped off the rokkit trakk, immobilizing it. The lascannon reaches out and guts the blasta buggy, causing it to explode in place.

The long fangs join in their fire on the buggies, but their missile and lascannon shots go wide, hitting nothing. Thier heavy bolter fire on the sluggas is much more effective, however, killing three.  This is enough to cause the sluggas to break, and they flee to the rear.

The Wolf Guard manage to further stun the shoota buggy, and keep the rokkit trakk from firing in the next turn.

The stikkbommas lose two more to combined fire from the scouts and the Wolf Preist, but they, unlike their weak slugga brethren, stikk in the fight (pun intended)

The weakened slugga mob flees off of the battlefield, just as reinforcements in the way of da  loonz (stormboyz) appear hot on the heals of the 'ard boyz behind the ruined tower. Two of da loonz are immediately lost however, crashing hard in the difficult terrain.

On the south side of the bunker, Bob's trukk reverses direction, and comes into line behind the gits, as he hopes to add his firepower to the mix.

Once again, da Grotstompa lets loose with its torso mounted rokkit. This one also flies true, striking Biterolf squarely.  In frustration the ork inside watches another dud rokkit bounce off of the armored hide of the 'umie dreadnought (this time a whopping 2 for damage!).

Seeing this and cursing, Bob yells to Dunzog "ta hit dat zoggin 'ding!" and Dunzog fires the rokkit from the 'eavy chevy. Flying strait, it appears to strike Biterolf solidly, however the shifting images produced by the physic storm causes the projective to miss narrowly.

The boys in the bunker shift their aim and target the advancing Rhino, this time the big shootas manage to not only stun the vehicle's crew, but knock out its storm bolter.

The ard boyz and stikkbommas fire wildly, but are completely unable to hit anything.
