Battle 8863 Ursae III (test of knights 1.4b and Armorbreaker forces 2.1.7)

So this battle will be the first use of the of the new tunnel rules I had written down for the squats. I have include them here for convinces…..

Tunneller

The transports vehicle must be deployed on table in the deployment zone, once deployed they don’t move. The tunneller/s are assumed underground at start of game. It may attempt to resurface after a full movement, after passing a successful activation. Roll a D6 - on a 1 it has struck a rocky obstruction and cannot emerge that turn. On 2+ it emerges and moves no further that turn. If the transporter can see the tunneller intended point of emergence scatter the point is D6 x 1D3cm, if the arrow is rolled. If the transporter cannot see it or is destroyed, scatter point is D6 x 6D cm for an arrow. Units that scatter off the board are destroyed. If they scatter into impassable terrain or into enemy or friendly unit/s or in an enemy zone of control, then it is assumed that on-board automatic guidance systems will divert it towards a safe re-entry point, the opposing player may then move the Tunneller/s to safe spot that’s with in the distances rolled on scatter dice .Troops may disembark from tunneller the turn it emerges, but must stay within 5cms of it. Underground they move like normal vehicles, nothing can stop a tunneller underground. Above ground they must move in a straight line and can be turned up to 45 at the end of its movement. Marshes and water are impassable overland. First movement is measured from the transports. Then from where the vehicle/s ends its turn last. While underground the tunneler can’t be shot at. The transports vehicle, maybe target and collect blast markers. The transport can only collect one blast marker for each time its shoot at. Barrages will add the number of blast markers for the for the BP size shooting. Transports vehicle are not suppressed or broken by Blast markers, instead, the next time that you want to resurface the tunneler, take the resurface test as before, but apply a -1 modifier for each Blast marker on the formation. All of the Blast markers are removed from the Transports immediately after it takes the resurface test, whether it passes the test or not. If it passes the test, it may carry out a resurface, and if it fails it may not. If the transport is engaged by an enemy unit, using the engage order then it is removed from the board and the next resurface test will fail automatically. The resurface test after the fail one, will be at -3 and this will apply for the rest of the game for the tunneller in question. Once the tunnellers surfaces the transport/s are taken off the table and the Tunnellers used their own power to move. Tunnellers underground can’t claim objective markers or contest them.

The new tunnel rules work ok and had my opponent always checking on were they were. Since they could pop up from the surface with a successful activation. It may have been more fun for me if the transport marker had been targeted, since it would have made the surfacing harder to do……I will need to twit some lines etc and add that the tunneller cant go under enemy units…. I never see a game were sustained fire orders just didn’t have full effected. The amount of 1 and 2 rolled was in creditable……..
