Big Pretzel Vs. Dickie (E vs. E) Mission; RELIC & Setup; Hammer & Anvil

Hi Folks!!

I sent south to Cincy on Saturday January 26th, 2013 to B's WAR ROOM

Big Pretzel Vs. Dickie (Eric vs. Erik) Mission; RELIC & Setup; Hammer & Anvil
Big Pretzel had Space Marines
Dickie had Space Marines & Imperial Guard Allies

Big Pretzel got to set up first & go first, Dickie did not steal initiative

First Turn was Night Fight & Big Pretzel captured the RELIC with a Tacital Squad & Librarian

Dickie Killed Big Pretzel's Land Speeder for "FIRST BLOOD"; +1 V.P.

Dickie Killed Big Pretzel's Chaplin Space Marine Commander for "SLAY THE WARLORD"; +1 V.P.

TURN 5 Dickie Killed all of Pretzel's Army and "Tabled Him", But did not Capture the RELIC

Dickie got a Scout Unit into Big Pretzel's Deployment Zone "LINE BREAKER"; +1 V.P.

V.P. TOTALS =
Big Pretzel; 0 V.P.
Dickie; +3 V.P. WINNER

DA' FEAST; A 14 Pound Roast Turkey w/ Whipped Mashed Potatos & Gravy, Stuffing, Mixed Vegatables
(Corn, Carrots, & Green Beans) with Coke-Cola & Milk to drink

Sounds like a great time guys! Good food and a battle with Dickie is always a good time.

How did the thunder-fire cannons do? I haven't seen them used very much so just curious.

Did he run all 3 Vendettas in a squadron?

Thunder Fire Cannons in a Battery of three were DEADLY!!
6 Blast Templates quickly blew up the first Marine Squad holding Relic
Also had a Special Round that did not allow Cover Saves

I think the Vendettas were run as a squadron
