Agendas

Krieg

1. Inspired Command

2. Survivor (Commissar Stagler).




Goffs

1. Survivor (Big Mek Nogbugg)






Deployment

Goff Horde vs Krieg Horde. The single objective is the central bunker.

Pre- Firestorm Barrage.

Post barrage. Heavy Bolter Squad wiped out, again.
Truppen Kagorik lost 5 men.






Turn 1 - Goffs

Goregutz's Octarian Rukkboyz hurl themselves at the bunker,
which cntains Truppen Horst. No casualties from Overwatch. The
Goffs used many strats - Tide of Muscle (1 CP), Unbridled Carnage (2 CP),
Get Stuck In Ladz (2 CP) andTankbusta Bombs (1 CP). Needless to say
the bunker was completely obliterated. +1 Kill (m), and +30 VP.

Eager to get continue the rampage, the Rukkboyz Consolidate 6" and
bad touch every unit they can.

The Kriegers fight back, killing 7 Rukkboyz, which forces them
to use Insane Bravery to auto-pass Morale.






Turn 1 - Krieg


Commissar Stagler issues order Get Back in the Fight!, allowing
every unit to Fall Back and still shoot.

When the firing stops, they kill 21 Rukkboyz in total,
using Overlapping Fields of Fire to great effect. The Rukkboyz
failed their Morale, and one more fled, but that was it.






Turn 2 - Goffs

The remaining Rukkboyz are confident they can take the Kriegers.
They kill two from Truppen Kagorik (on the right), with Sluggas,
and prepare to charge.

Three of the Boyz die to Vicious Traps (1 CP). The Nob kills
three from Truppen Horst (in the center).

Watchmeister Horst cuts down Nob Goregutz, and his Squad
Consolidates forward.






Turn 2 - Krieg


Through brutal overwhelming firepower the Krieg
take down Painboy Bloodcuttah with massed lasgun fire,
and Big Mek Nogbugg with massed meltaguns and plasma pistols.






Summary

Final Score: Goffs - 45

                    Krieg - 90


Um, alright, yeah, that was quick. It seems like the Krieg may finally have figured out a way to start to handle the Goff horde rush. When the bunker went down on the initial charge, it looked bleak for the Imperium. But the order to fall back and shoot, which splashes to all units in range, is really strong against an assault army. Just when the Goffs seemed to have tied up a large portion of the Krieg force, they stepped back, reformed their firing line, and just gutted the horde. And that was without the use of the Take Aim order. Kinda impressive, really.
