Here's the report from this game. Force selection rules were:
750 points using combat patrol rules (and also 1+ Troops and 0-1 everything else per player)
Game was:
- Force selection as noted above.
- Roll for sides. Winner choses and sets up first, 6" away from the river. Loser then does likewise.
- Winner goes first unless the loser can take the initative.
- All units on foot get move through cover (keep the game moving)
- Both bridges are objectives with Troops scoring as normal.
- Use the random scattering (dropping bits of paper, 1 per side) ordnance blasts from one of the IG missions in the missions book.
- Usual 5 turns then roll for 6th and 7th.
4 of us were there in the end and the forces were:
Matt (Ultramarines)
6 man Scout squad [5 bolters and serg with power weapon]
10 man tactical squad [Flamer, Hvy Bolter, basic razorback]
6 Sternguard [one combi-melta, serg with storm bolter and power weapon. Razorback with extra armour]
6 man Devastator squad [4 plasma cannons]
Jon (Space Wolves)
10 x Grey Hunters (wulfen, melta gun, flamer, icon, power fist) + naked rhino
9 blood claws (flamer, power fist) + wolfguard with wolf claws + naked rhino
Land speeder typhoon
6 long fangs (4 hvy bolter and 1 ML) + razorback with storm bolter and HK missile
Martyn (Dark Eldar)
3 x 12 warriors (2 splinter, 1 sredder, 1 blaster, sybarite)
9 mandrakes
1 ravager
Alex (Eldar)
2 x 5 dire avengers
10 guardians with scatter laser
10 guardians with scatter laser + warlock
2 dark reapers + exarch with tempest launcher and crack shot
9 striking scorpions + exarch with power claw and stalker
Sides randomly determined were
Matt (Marines) and Alex (Eldar)
vs
Jon (Space Wolves) and Martyn (Dark Eldar)
Deployment
Marines
Set up on left with devastators covering bridge. SG in their transport to storm the bridge. Tac squad combat-squads and hvy bolter half cover the bridge from the admin building while the flamer half hide in the ruins near the bridge to take the objective later on. Scouts infiltrate to distract the space wolves as a sacrificial unit.
Eldar
Set up in the ruins either side of the second bridge. Dark reapers as central as possible to maximise their coverage.
Dark Eldar
Warrior set up to face the marines. Mandrake tokens spread across the table. Ravager waits in the road in the middle
Space Wolves
Both rhinos full of troops get ready to storm the bridge across from the Eldar; the Land speeder in the area behind them. Jon takes ages to place the long fangs and eventually changes his mind and puts them nearer the centre to try to cover more than just the bridge. LF razor back starts opposite the sternguard.
M+J don't take the initiative so M+A go first.
