August Mission is up:

 

**Week 1 Mission**

Table Size: 4x4
Deployment: Dawn of War
Mission: The Heart of Battle

 

I lost roll, deployed my Assault Marines and My Praetor on my Objective, I left my Seekers off the table to infiltrate. He deployed his Veteran assault marines to grab center objective, his tactical marines on his objective and Praetor in Rhino.  My Seekers deployed to gun down the Veteran Assault squad.  He stole the Initiative, but did not really want to but took first turn. 

 

Turn 1- 

 

Rhino moved up, Veteran Assault squad moved to center objective. he fired his pistols no damage and declared charge, volley fire did no damage and needing a 6 to make it to melee but rolled a 1. This Ended his turn.  4 -0 Victory points

 

My Assault squad moved up along with Praetor and Seekers. Seekers opened up, hit with 4 precision shots killing both power spears. Assault squad made charge moves and no volley fire and Melee began. Sgt and Power mauls killed disintegrator pistols. His Sgt killed 4 dudes and plus Word Bearer Special rule made it count as 5. But I make my check. He disengages with me (This rule needs to be FAQ'd). 4-0 Victory points

 

Turn 2- 

 

His disengage movement puts him on the objective, his boss disembarks from rhino. Rhino Praetor kill another 2 dudes from shooting, heavy flamer makes me fell my check and Praetor walks in kills last of assault marine squad.  Veteran Assault marine Sgt fails to do anything. 8-0 victory points. 

 

My Seekers move forward and gun down the Veteran Assault Sgt.  Praetor Melta bombs rhino reducing it to 1 hull point and his praetor ran and hid from me. 

8- 3 Victory points

 

 

Turn 3-

 

His Praetor moves along with his rhino, to engage Seekers. Failing to hurt them with gun fire, Melee happens and 4 seekers are killed and Sgt is falling back. 

12-3 Victory Points

 

My Praetor jumps to fight his Tactical squad. Seeker Sgt while falling back shoots his praetor and wounds him. Praetor kills 2 Tactical and for no damage in return. He falls back hits table edge and I re-engage to avoid getting shot.  12-3 Victory Points

 

Turn 4- 

 

His Praetor moves towards the fight but fires his plasma pistol at the Seeker Sgt and killing him.  My Praetor kills 5 models and does not take any damage. The Tactical squads flees off the table.

12-3 Victory Points. 

 

My Praetor Jumps to engage his praetor and issues a challenge. I make roll my Decapitation Strike and Miss. I my Invulnerable save protects me. 

 

Turn 5-

 We fight again. This time I take Flurry of blows and get another attack and put anther wound on him.  His misses his attacks. 12-3 Victory points

 

Once again I take Flurry of blows and roll a 6. 10 attacks was just to much for his Praetor and he falls to the ground. 12-4 Victory Points. 

 

Victory Points wise I lost but my Praetor did his job. 

 

 

Biggest mistake was sending my Assault squad after His Veteran Assault squad and not his tactical squad.
