Hi there everyone... Here is the summary of what happened in the last weekend gaming.
There were only 3 players coming to play. So the tourny did not actually take place. As a result, we decided to do 3 games of 500 pts so that everyone get to play at least 2 games at first. (As in they were all fighting each other 1 by 1) Here is the event which took place: (Straight Copy & Paste from Draza summary)
Game 1: SOB won
Basically a Necron squad killed the Canoness who lingered too far out. SOB squad charged into a Necron squad, using divine guidance to keep the squad down. They got ran down. Other squad held out in close combat against another Warrior squad and Lord (with gaze of flame) long enough for the other squad to charge in with divine guidance and phase out the Necrons
Game 2: Necrons won
Harlies had no Shadowseer. They got too close and were rapid fired off the board. Farseer charged a Necron squad and eventually another Guardian squad did as well. Eventually the Guardians ran away, couldn't regroup because of enemy proximity and were counted as destroyed since it was turn 6. That Warrior squad was at 50% still. Other squad killed a few Guardians, nothing major. Rangers did fairly well
Game 3: SOB won
Everything moved forward. Farseer tried to Mind war the Canoness, but invulnerable save defended it. Canoness then jumped behind the forest and instant killed the Farseer with a inferno pistol. Then she jumped into a Guardian squad, used the Passion, ran them down, 6" consolidate into next Guardian squad. They broke Morale, got away got reconsolidated into, lost again and forced to run off the board.
BSS just advanced. Rangers did very little, 2 Scatter lasers averaging one kill a turn between them. One squad shot at 24" into Rangers, killed 2. They ran, then regrouped. They also killed 2 Harlequins before being charged. Lost 2-3 girls, killed one and then got run down. Other BSS flamed them to death and then flamed the Rangers to death
=================================
After that, we then played a big Mission game of 3 sides each with 1000 pts. Here are the details & some highlights.
Mission Game (3 sides)
SoB
1st Objective - Prevents Eldar from destroying 6 oil tanks
2nd Objective - Rescue a crew to secure an important artifact/information
Necrons
1st Objective - To hold their 2 tombs in the middle of the battle
Eldars
1st Objective - Seek and rescue 3 Eldar pathfinders who hold an information of the Imperium
2nd Objective - Destroying 6 oil tanks
Gaming level: Gamma
Game pts limit: 1000 pts per each sides, free for all
Special Rules:
1. Daemon World (Perversoria)
2. Tyranids disruption - Some of these local xenos became active as they notice the presence of living intruders. Basically, a small group of nids suddenly show up in the battle to harass. They would ignore the Necrons only if the Necrons did not attack the nids (mainly because the nids have no interest in non-living beings), and they would only go after either Eldar & SoB.

Mission Results
SoB
1st Objective - 5 tanks were saved by the end of battle, but mostly due to Necrons holding the Eldar off from getting across the board.
2nd Objective - Mission failed. The SoB could not make it to the other end of the board.
Necrons
1st Objective - The Necrons managed to hold 1 of their tombs.
Eldars
1st Objective - Mission failed. Unable to rescue any of the 3 Eldars
2nd Objective - Before the battle end, the Eldars destroyed 1 tank out of 6.
=================================
Well, there you go. :) Brag all you like about your glory & etc... ::)
Also, I would like to make an announcement that I will always be sending public PMs to anyone who are in the gaming group and for those who are interested in hearing what has been happing. (Even if the person stated that he won't be coming to play) The aim of this service is to keep everyone informed about what is going on. It is pretty much like how newsletter work.
If anyone else (besides the people I already knows and send PMs) would like to know what has been happening with our gaming group, please feel free to PM me. (And I will put you down in the list of people to PM) Also, if you would like to join in or participate, please PM me or post in this thread that you would like to come.
So far, I could say that things have been progressing pretty smoothly.
Anyhow, look forward to see you this upcoming weekend! ;)
