*****************************************************************************************************************
The Chaos Red Corsairs battled the Imperial Inquisition Death Watch today, and a bloodbath from the start it was. On turn one the Inquisition does orbital bombardment on me then lands skimmers loaded with Terminators and SM Vetrans. What a furball! My furry little blue Drones took losses and the whole 3 unit force surrounding my Blitz (home base) came within an ace of being routed when Trent assaulted it, and almost took it! Almost. That was close, and if it had been successful, could have given him the game.
Chaos counterattacks destroyed or weakened two other threats, but it was back and forth. My poor Hell Talons got shot out of the sky before they could fire their guns in anger, but my Hell Blades avenged them.
The last real threat to Chaos occurred when Watch Terminators teleported in near my Blitz. Only a lucky shot in the back by my nearby Retinue turned the tide, though both attacker and defender were routed. Attempting to kill that last Terminator was a real pain, taking two full units of Plague Drones. Trent kept rolling 6 on Invulnerable Saves after failing his two normal saves. Fustrating.
The game was close several times, but in the end The Red Corsairs were victorious and The Inquisition Death Watch a very worthy foe. I can’t fault Inquisition tactics. Strike hard, strike quickly, keep up the pressure is the only way to go when outnumbered 2 to 1, no matter how good you are.
Trent wrote up the battle report and played Death Watch (except for Greg running the DW Terminator assault), Greg GM’d, sorted rules, & took photos, and I played the Red Corsairs. At least no one laughed at my “furry gyrocopters”. Looked like Plague Drones to me.
A great afternoon of skill, strategy, dumb luck, fortune, and laughter among friends. Wargaming at its best.
