A Dark Foggy Night



The Emperor's Shield Tank Company came up against an Ultramarine armoured column on a dark foggy night. Communication failure resulted in both sides for the enemy and carnage prevailed. Maybe the dark forces of Chaos has a hand in it.

Both sides fielded 4500 points of vehicles only. Setup was lengthways on a 10' table. The Night Fighting and Fog severely limited the range of any guns. Not only that the guard found the moisture jammed affected the ammo resulting in less shots hitting home.

The Ultramarines made good use of suicidal Rhinos and rammed several armoured vehicles before having them destroyed. Trying a flanking manuvre the guard deepstriked 3 squads of Sentinels at the rear of the marine lines in an attempt to blunt their artillery. They caused marginal damage before the marines responded with deepstriked speeder squadrons.

The Ultramarines ended up winning but both side looking for a rematch under normal conditions.
