Turn One Standings

Orks make planetfall and begin pouring from the spaceport, quickly overrunning Striking Scorpion and Pathfinder sentries. Tau Crisis suits annihilate advancing eldar Vanguard.

After two skirmishes, Eldar losing a power station to the Orks and Tau defeating Eldar, here are the territories held by players:

Tau - Aun'korst'la - three tiles total with 1 Power Station (8), 2 Command Bastions (18), 2 Shield Generators, 1 Manufactorum (16)

Orks - Bad Moons - four tiles total with 1 Power Station (9), Command Bastion (6), Shield Generator

Eldar - Syrd Wraythe -two tiles total with 1 Power Station (10), Command Bastion (11), 2 Shield Generators, Manufactorum (6)

As it stands with the current territories the following modifiers will be applied in match ups:

Tau v Eldar: Eldar get +1 to reserves and deployment rolls. Tau get +50 points and one die to get bonus universal rules on each die that is a 4+.

Ork v Eldar: Eldar get +1 to reserves and deployment rolls, +150 points, and one die to get bonus universal rules on each die that is a 4+.

Pre-Campaign Battle

Got three campaign games in today. The first was a three sided battle to determine who placed the first flag on the map and to play test the kill team missions in the battle missions book.

I went with my five scorpions and five pathfinders, the ork player had a unit of shootas and a unit of sluggas and had one Nob with a power klaw. The Tau ran the three crisis suits with the load out z.insane posted below.

I'll post some pictures and maybe do a more detailed report but I'll give the quick run downs.

Game one: Orks split forces and charge both Tau and Eldar. Vs. the Eldar the Orks and Scorpions got into melee and despite some initial losses to furious charge and the power klaw the Scorpions rallied and began cutting into the Ork charge. The Tau suits focussed fire on the advancing greenskins and managed to clear the immediate area. The eldar snipers fired a single shot at the Tau and put a wound on the suit leader. The other eldar fired rifles and pistols into the orks and began consolidating up the hill in their corner. Turning their attention to the other foe the Crisis suits start blasting that the eldar.

In the end the Tau managed to jump in and out of the ruins they took cover in while laying a massive amount of fire power for which even the camoline cloaks of the rangers could not offer any protection. Initial victory belonged to the Tau.
