TournamentTournamentTriple play on the Mall
Lebanon, NH
Round 3
Opponents: Eldar
Mission: Unclear Orders (on turn three, mission goals were randomized)
Eldar, on a table we call "the ghetto". It's only used when they're short tables at the store, and I got stuck on it and all it's openness. Against Eldar. Ooofaaah.
We lost the deployment zone role, and the choice of turns.He made us go first, the kunning panzee.
Deployment:
Ork deployment
the gentle surge forward
Did I mention this was reseves too? we shot the snot out of his dire avengers, making them break on turn one. One turn two, I got one group of kans that managed to reach his skorpians behind a building, and break them in h2h, but they would rally later.
Go kanz go...
His unts kept coming on, and the fun began, My reserves just wouldn't show, and the lack of terrain and cover began to leave me pulling model after model off of the table.
With my grots decimated, I was forced to use my buggies as screen for the other side of the table.
Now turn 3, and still no russ, or the other group of kans. Much to my dismay, the mission objectives were rolled - cleanse. Great, and he had last turn....
My front line of sluggaz took the heat, and got devastated moving into the center building, but they ralled and attempted to charge the wraithlord, failing miserably to even reach him. It was now turn five, buggies were dropping like flies to the dark reapers and the wave serpent, and the russ finally showed up, fired, and missed. The other three big shoota kans were still off the table though....
On the other side, the rokkit
kans pushed forward to try and contest the table quarter.
Klank, Klank, Klank
In the end, it was too little too late. The missing three kans showed up
turn six, and thanks to the goofy diagonal deployment zones, were actually able
to assault the rear of the loaded serpent, immobolizing it (glance), and trapping
the squad inside (but not destroying them as they didn't have to bail out...).
These kans were also just inchs from contesting the far quarter, and he focused
all of his firepower on the other two cans that were contesting the far left,
destroying them.
Results:
Eldar win, 2 table quarters to 1.
