Here is the second part of the 2000pt battle between Sigismund and
the Secessionist forces of the Imperial Fists. If you missed the first
part, you can find it
here.
Secessionist Turn 4
After
the destruction of the last Contemptor and Legion Dreadnought, the rest
of the forces make a run for the copse of trees towards the Imperial
lines. A few Veteran marines from the lead squads take some accurate
shots at the Imperialist Heavy Support squad, and do enough damage that
they fail their morale and duck inside the building.
Imperialist Turn 4
The
Spartan "Victory", rushes towards the last remnants and opens fire. The
other Land Raiders move to draw beads on the approaching infantry.
Tactical Squad II's Rhino moves in support of the Land Raider
"Dauntless". The shots cause some casualties.
Secessionist Turn 5
Most
of the forces of the Secessionists make it into the cover of the copse
of woods, though with no available targets, they just bunker down.
Imperialist Turn 5
The
Spartan and the Land Raider's move right up to the last of the forces,
determined to reduce their numbers before the final assault commences.
The Heavy Support squad in the building continue to flee towards safety,
and Tactical Squad II's Rhino provides cover for the last members of
the Heavy Support Squad.
The firepower of the Spartan and Land Raider's takes its toll.
Secessionist Turn 6
The
enemy Praetor tries for a last ditch attack on the Spartan "Victory",
however the undergrowth of the wood slows him and his last member of
Veteran Squad III. They instead consolidate their position along with
the Librarian and his last remnants into a last stand.
Imperialist Turn 6
The
Land Raider's and Spartan move up to finish them last forces. The Heavy
Support Squad rallies and takes cover behind the old watch tower.
All
the shooting was directed at the Veteran Squad II (blue squad), and
manages to finish them off. The Librarian finally breaks and flees from
the slaughter. Sigismund and the Huscarl's charge out of the Spartan
"Victory" and get ready to assault the enemy Warlord and his last
faithful marine. However the copse of trees again foils the efforts of
those seeking to stride under its bough's and the assault falls short.
End Game
That
is the end game! A much bigger battle this one, though I was very
pleased that all my forces (and that of my friend were all fully
painted). So the end result was:
Imperialist: 10
Secessionist: 2
Victory
to the Impeiralists! I think that having Sigismund in an assault vehicle
meant that he got into the think of it very quickly (Turn 2), and he
would have made it again into the combat on Turn 6 if I rolled average
on the charge roll. Ahh well, never to mind. The next game is planned to
be 2500pts, which is going to be a monster of a game.
Thanks for looking.
Cheers!
