The Battle
Deployment
 |
| The entirety of 1 Platoon crowds into the ruined basilica. |
 |
| Hearthguard behind the building, across the street. |
 |
| Hearthkyn and Kahl on the left flank. |
Turn1
 |
| 1 Platoon floods into the ruined church. The Cmd Sqd performs Arming the Assault action (+1 tally) |
 |
| Armoured Sentinel Incandescent Defender provides overwatch on the central objective, in the craters. |
 |
| The Hearthguard advance, ensuring they stay in the shadow of the ruin. |
 |
| The Hearthkyn claim the left hand objective. |
Turn 2
 |
| Krieg scores 10 points. The mortars kill 1 from the Hearthkyn Warriors. Plt Cmd Sqd performs action again (tally = 2) |
 |
| Votann score 10 points. Hearthkyn move up into the corner, and throw some shots at the Krieg. |
 |
| Hearthguard assault the Sentinel... |
 |
| ...and take him down easily. It does not explode. |
Turn 3
 |
| Krieg scores 10 points. 1 Platoon gun down the Hearthguard. But the Einhyr Champion is still alive. |
 |
| But he decides to perform the Priority Acquisition action. (+3 XP) |
 |
| The Hearthkyn Warriors begin trooping onto the central objective. |
 |
| The Kahl stands watch over the left flank objective. |
Turn 4
 |
| The objective by the Kahl has no supplies, so disappears. Krieg scores 15 points. They fire anti-infantry weapons at the Hearthkyn, killing one. They fire anti-tank weapons at the Chamion, but his armour protects him from everything. |
 |
| 1 Section moved out to contest the central objective. |
 |
| The Champ moves into assault position. |
 |
| Hearthkyn stalwartly moving forward. They shoot and assault 1 Section, wiping them out. |
 |
| The Champ butchers Platoon Cmd Sqd Karis, and tags the Mortars. |
Turn 5
 |
| The central objective has no supplies, so disappears. Krieg scores 30 points. Mortar Team Devorr Falls Back and the remnants of 1 Platoon all fire at the Champ, causing no damage.4++ for the win. |
 |
| The Champ Heroically Intervenes into 2 Section. |
 |
| The Champ and the Hearthkyn wipe out 2 Section, claiming the sole remaining objective, and score 30 points. |
Summary
Only Commissar Stagler, Cpl Devorr of the Mortar team, and 4 members of 3 Section remain alive after the Votann onslaught. A bit of an eye opener for the Krieg, seeing how resilient the Leagues can be.
But, the Krieg managed to take the victory, 65-50. Trading bodies for time and points seems to be the way that infantry heavy armies work. It's just a little disconcerting to see 1 model doling out an average of 21 damage from a hammer. Something seems a little...out of whack there. But, it was still an awesome game, and the Leagues are a foe worthy of respect, that's for sure!
