finally - a BATTLE REPORT!
this week we painted gaming table so and last night we had the first struggle on new surface
we played chain reaction - the objective was to bring the mechanic to abandoned apc, get into it and start the engine...
sounds easy?
NOOO FUC*ING WAY!

dirty preparations: I guess I was trying to measure the ceiling
too bad I forgot to take dices from home and d6, d8 and d10 were the only stuff we found at Deco's place
(btw - chain reaction requires only d6s... )

of course Deco got more cover but I decided to annihilate him and complete the mission: with cover or without it!

here're my troops: ready to eat their guts and ask for the second

and of course - mission objective; looks innocent doesn't it?

rrright:
Deco got first turn and moved shotgun guys and main leader closer to my forces,
one of them was shot by my legionairee (who dies 2 minutes later... )

rest of husars rushed forward, 2 hmg oparators secure center of the field ready to gun down anyone stupid enough to move into 48" hagelsturm's range...

my turn: main leader, mechanic and several necros ran to the next cover, unfortunatelly well placed hagelsturm did bloody good job and took down 2 legionairees...

2 squads I left in a rear are on positions:

husars reached another building...

hmg opperator wanted to mess with legionairees from behind the building - but looks like my necromutant spent more time practicing shooting ergo there was only one hmg left to take down!

2 troopers distracted another hmg operator's attention from babysitting field's center - one of them paid for it with own life :rip:
but the mission objective is clear: mechanic must reach apc - no matter the cost

mechanic group is on position: the vehicle is 5" behind the wall...

but bauhaus mechanic is damn close too!

thanks to covering fire zombie warrior gets REALLY close to the enemy - still unnoticed

my group is preparing for run to apc - the only problem is another hagelsturm...

legionairee is keeping eye on apc and tank - enemy mechanic cannot move from behind cover unseen

rear squad run forward to solve hagelsturm problem...

only one of bauhaus troopers didn't manage to reach apc...

Deco tries to stick the nose out of the ruins - god bless my well placed hmg operator!

necromutant places cross-fire at husars in the ruins: eventually killed 2 of these goodie-goodie bastards

hmg forced me to get some protection in the ruins - damn 48" range!
and where's my support???

damn! damn! damn!
bauhaus seregant was faster! the bastard killed my mechanic and took out of action my main leader!!!

for a ghastly moment I thought I'll loose the battle - but in last turn my necromutant inflicted 2 deadly wounds to Deco's hmg operator;
he left without leaders and heavy weapons, I left without a mechanic, beers run out:
we agreed it was DRAW
for saving honour and good (or maybe better: evil ) name or my army this necromutant deserved for repainting and for a medal

I hope You enjoyed browsing the report at least in half as we enjoyed the game and the beers

Great and lenghty battle report!:D

Where do you find the time to paints so much, make cool scenery and play lots of games! Not trying to sound jealous offcourse!:P

i sure did, these BR are always a big pleasure to look at and funny to... i miss bugs a bit though

It makes me want to play necromunda with you guys... and nice table Demi.

Oh and you look strange on 1st photo like your snifing the measure tape and loving it

we played chain reaction - the objective was to bring the mechanic to abandoned apc, get into it and start the engine...

with all those beers around I suppose that finding that apc was the most difficult thing
Nice report, nice pics, nice terrain. I like your bottle and can terrains.
As Skrit said:

I'm not even trying to hide, that I'm jealous

EDIT: care to share how the chain reaction ruleset worked?

Sounds like you had a lot of fun!!:) Nice to see pictures of you without that blue eye!!:)

I've built these terrains during past 2 years I guess
cans are new ones, the buildings - the oldest
actually I built so much terrains that I decided to put all fantasy ones on ebay...

no fear: we're constantly testing and makin up rules - lat night we decided to add big bugzzz to the next game...

feel invited and I mean it
although it wasn't necromunda game but chain reaction
the only gw parts we used during the battle were plastic details on my paper rhino...

so I like it - it's my tape after all
but honestly I was looking REALLY weird when I was performing the victory dance

naaah - finding was not a problem, but shooting the enemy - defintelly was

Nameless wrote: care to share how the chain reaction ruleset worked?

sure: worked really great - You can ask mahon;
he was the one who infected me with this game

PixieCat wrote:Nice to see pictures of you without that blue eye!!:)

hehe, yeah - that wound was nasty: blood was getting into my eye and I was half-blind


thanks for kind words - I really appreciate it
next time we want to add bugs and ruined base: lots of corridors and places to hide...

naaah - finding was not a problem, but shooting the enemy - defintelly was

yeah, that was probably reason I let for taking down my mechanic so easily

great great great table for this thrilling race to the APC. seems like a dynamic and tense game the kind i like!
