The
Battle:
Finally
round was against Pavel's Orks for some green on green action.
Pavel's list was pretty similar to his ETC list being mobile and
fairly balanced. The kill point risk was solved in typical ork
fashion ie kill all the opponents stuff.
Deff rolla
Pavel won
the roll off and deployed his objective in the centre while the Big
Green One deployed theirs in a corner. Pavel's boyz all went down
en-mass in their centre while the Big Green One opted for all
reserves. Turn one and two were quick for Pavel. Mhaz arrived in turn
two accompanied by two battle wagon mobs and a deff kopta squadron.
The Deff Kopta tried to destroy the battle wagon with the Big Mek who
made cover saves the two penetrating from the Koptas (which was
irritating). With targets in sight Pavel's mobs moved to engage the
Big Green One. The Kans shot down both Koptas. Another wagon with
Mega Nobz rolled on. Pavel's mobs were just outside Deff Rolla
range. The MegaNobz dismounted to destroy Pavel's warboss' battle
wagon. In response the Warboss and his nobz destroyed the Mega Nobz
while their battlewagon was deff rolla'd to a wreck (which was also
irritating). Mhaz mounted up and the two remaining wagons moved on the
enemy objective. The Sneak Gits opted to sit this one out and hid in
a corner.
Pavel's
shoota mob blasted the now all alone Big Mek sitting in a pile of
battle wagon scrap. The Trukks moved to capture the Big Green One's
objective. Pavel's Kan walled to keep the Wagons away from his
objective. A choppa mob dismounted and assaulted the Kans to clear
the path but got bogged down in combat. Pavel's last wagon moved to
block screen his objective with nineteen boyz behind it. The War
Boss, his Nobz and the Big Mek assaulted the boyz trying to clear the
kans out of the way. The Boyz and their wagon were destroyed with few
loss. Mhaz and the second wagon then rolled in. The Nobz and Big Mek
were run over (six hits, six wounds, six dead, awesome), a Kan mob
was destroyed and Pavel's last wagon was immobilised. To make it
worse the choppa mob dismounted to attack the Warboss. To soften him
up they let rip with some Slugga shots and were pleasantly surprised
when he killed over dead. Mhaz dropped the boarding plank and
finished of the wagon.

By the
Big Green One's objective the Trukks mobs temporarily captured the
objective, but the last wagon mob arrived and literally ran them over
destroying two trukks and then the boyz in combat. A third trukk mob
was committed but had to assault through cover and was destroyed in
the process. For spite the last Trukk tankshocked on to the objective
to contest it while the last Kan mob destroyed a battle wagon and
pinned the defenders in combat away from the objective.

The
Result: 13-7
Conclusion:
When the dust had settled the Big Green One had taken best general
prize. Best Overall was a tie with Thomas. We had a dice off to
determine the winner and Thomas got a one and the boyz got a three.
Better green then good.
1st place trophy
The event was worth the trip. A bonus was they have started to run a
FOW event on the same weekend, which is very tempting. The difference
between the two is interesting, terrain wise the FOW looks better but
up close to the models the 40K are stronger.
I left Prague with two thoughts one was “don't do it” the second
was “you know, with two more good results I could top the Czech
ranking”. I don't know, who would want to top the rankings in two
separate countries????
