Greg, Dan, & I (Britt) got together today for a 5000 points/side game of Epic at Greg’s place. Greg had put a lot of work on the terrain, the most dominant feature being the “Blue Ravine”. This was a dry gully which split the town of that same name into two parts but didn’t hinder movement. Greg had it all set up and he and Dan commanded the Eldar Forces while I commanded the White Scar Marines.
The corner set ups were certainly different. Turn one was mainly jockeying for position, though one of my Warhounds died for the cost of two formations of Falcons badly shot up. White Scar Bikes seized what they thought was an Eldar Wraitgate at some cost only to find that our Intel was wrongL. Another group of Bikes went to sort out some Eldar heavy tanks on our extreme left. They’d be in position for a fight next turn.
Turn 2 saw the bloodiest part of the battle. The leftmost fight between Bikes & Tanks went in our favour and the ‘Wraithgate’ was taken and held. The Eldar were fighting mad though, and numerous White Scars paid the ultimate price. On the right flank, Marine Bikes swept into the alien woods to begin their attack on the buildings/objective marker there. Marine Scouts made several attacks that proved to be costly and pointless.
Turn 3 saw the pace slow down a bit. Both sides rolled VERY poorly. I guess the troops were suffering from combat fatigue and troop losses. A group of Falcons completes the destruction of my most expensive unit (Terminators in Land Raiders). Clever (or sly depending on your POV) maneuvering by the Eldar disputed several Objective Markers. My cross ravine attack had been thrown back, and while Marines controlled or disputed more objectives, our number of remaining units was now less than the Eldar.
A check of Victory Points resulted in a tie at 1 each. This was an excellent game with lots of fun & laughter. It was also one of the bloodiest games I’ve played recently, with constant attacking. No one held back, each going for the throat at every opportunity. No wonder the Eldar are a dieing race! The White Scars are going to need a recruitment drive as well J
Thanks guys for an excellent game. Beautifully painted miniatures, spectacular terrain, great rules, & good friends are what this hobby is all about.
