Battle for the Strana Van

[Strana]

Well if you were following the socal thread strana, tuefish , RoC77, and so_bri_quet. got together and played a game in person. well a happy bout of carnage ensued and this is what happened.
ROC77's army:

Tuefishes army:

Lucky rolls from a starfighter and an UPV-a confound the armor of an APC and make it explode.

movement in the first turn

UPV-a take up position to fire upon RoC77's troops and vehicles

quets' troops move up the field to bring tier weapons in the game.

One of the light tanks opens up as one of Tuefishes troops jumps in front of the shots to save his buddies

RoC's tank opens up anihilating the UPV-a it as it blows up it flips over the troops who just dissembarked, a lone gunner climbs from the wreckage.

Fearing rocks main tank after destroying the UPV some troops and damaging another main tank, 2 class IV missiles are launched impacting the tank lighting of its ammo storage and sending the turret flying

some general troop movement and positions



Those troops look better fried with FLAME THROWER!!

the pwer of a squad opening up on one of the light combat tanks totally destroys it in one turn

Fearing another blown tank with themselves inside it some toorps disembark ready to kill something

after reataking a hero is killed long with quiet a few troops as a rocket land on the hill devouring several bodies and cooking the hero so much that his head flys of his body as a rocket


rest of the game later.

[birdman]

nice gaming table.

[Strana]

they needed more missile. actually most of the tanks left were almost dead only the other light tank on the far side that tasked itself to hunting down the fighter survived with no damage. mostly it was just bad rolling. and next time well have stats for all the vehicles. since none of came with write ups we jus agreed on an everage based upon descriptons from the creations chapeter with some house rules thrown in for weapons like cannons were based on elements rather than inches and so on. also one of my house rules for explosives against squads. the squad is a single unit so the total explosive damage is rolled then from that is subtracted the armor of the minifg until there is no more points left of explosion damage its a benefit then to have squads even when explosives are on the field.

Alright, that was way too cool looking to pass up. If this happens again over summer, I am down, gas prices aside.

[Strana]

@Horseman hopefully next game is more towards anaheim orange county are maybe even a little south. if so this will be a help to you since then its about and 1.5 hour drive roughly from san diego.

[IVhorseman]

Saves me a grand total of ten minutes, honestly. This drive was an hour and forty minutes.

[OneEye589]

I'm jealous. Maybe I should take a road trip to Cali instead of Massachusetts this summer.

[pesgores]

Nice floor. Not baseplates, but an example of good terrain.

Also some features could be in LEGO.

But nice battle.

[RoC77]

Ur tanks got beaten pretty easily RoC...

It was more of a combination of bad placement & and bad rolls. One of my BMP's never even made it one turn. It was in range of at least 3 of Strana's vehicles. We forgot to take more pictures in the beginning, but it did take a while for him to kill my main battle tank. His tank was almost killed, but I ran out of proper weapons to give it the coup de grace. Too bad we didn't have enough time to do another battle, I brought a couple more tanks & I was going to field the Battle Bus I just built.

What also should be mentiond was tuefish's figther on the other side of the field. so_bri_quet spent half the game trying to shoot it down.......

Too bad you couldn't make it IVhorseman, don't worry though, I'm pretty sure we'll be palying more games.

[Killer Karetsu]

Good carnage, nice battlefield.

[Pvt Expendable]

wow like the big tank in the first pic
lots of cool picks.
makes me think you used to plau 40,000

sweet layout

[Strana]

well here's some more pics

A storm trooper on a horse takes aim at a biker, while the flamer van looks at glorious charnel house of smoke and fumes

the remaining tanks reagard eachother balefully as shots bounce of armor killing the men around them, a lone trooper slugs on after the rest of his squad was wiped from the face of the earth.

the boarding craft deciding action is necessary takes to the air in order to get a medic and breeching guy into battle

a look from the other side of the table

the apc moves up firing a missile taking out a hero and killing some allied troops

Deciding that the terror of the skys must be put down the breeching boat rams the aerofighter as fast as possible, suprising the pilot of the aero fighter survives.

battle field overview


the battle around the hill heats up as no one is left claiming it if RoC's, or tuefishes army gets there it restarts the count down.
otherwise is strana of quite hold the hillfor one more turn game win

the forgotten RPG troopers jump from behind a container at kill the remaining APC

after the berzerkers fire upon a lone sniper desintigrating him into nothing but a helmet and gun, then gets fired upon by the light tank, destroying most of the squad.

overview a'tween forces

some orange chain saw action rendering a lego man who sprinted 28" in twain, obviously he was dieing to get there


A hero after several turns of being under fire, literally decided to take it personally unfortunately he couldnt fit through the window, but with such great vigor did he attempt so that his head flew strait off.


not much alive in the end



the storm trooper claimed the objective for the win

i think this is the only shot of the tank which survived with no damage.

a line of bodies

more overview

since its kinda hard to see in any other picture here's fishes fighter
