Agendas

Goffs

1. Megawaaagh!

2. Kingslayer

3. Cull the Hordes




Krieg

1. Inspired Command

2. Arming the Assault

3. Survivor (Commissar Stagler)

4. Kingslayer





Deployment

Krieg forces deployed in formation to break the Goff assault.

The horde, ready to krump. In reserve are the Rukkboyz and the Killa Kanz.





Turn 1

Krieg opens the fight with an absolutely withering salvo of gunfire. 
Many casualties, and more losses from Morale issues.

The survivors still charge forward.

Jawchoppa's Boyz actually make a 10" charge, annihilate 
Grenadier Trupp Horst, and smash into Grenadier Trupp Valbek.





Turn 2

Gren. Trp. Valbek and Kagorik Fall Back, allowing Jawchoppa's Boyz
to be slaughtered. Also Kampf Pioneer Trupp Rausch and Jurten Move Move Move
and claim the center objective.

When the smoke clears, only 2 survivors from Skullsmacka's Redshirts 
Big Mek Nogbugg and Ghenga himself are left standing. Painboy Bloodcutta is
claiming the Goffs home objective.

The survivors move into assault positions...

Skrag's grots claim the objective in the ruined manufactorum.

Nogbugg charges Kampf Pioneer Trupp Rausch, while Ghenga charges
Kampf Pioneer Trupp Jurten.

Slightly out of sequence, both Goregutz's Rukkboyz and Skrig's Killa Kans
arrived from Deep Strike Reserve. Killa Kanz claimed the objective.

The Rukkboyz crushed Gren. Trp. Valbek and smashed into Gren. Trp. Kagorik.

The Goffs drive deep into the left flank of the Krieg lines.

Both Nogbugg and Ghenga fail to wipe out their targets.





Turn 3

Gren Trp. Kagorik Falls Back.

Kpf. Pioneer Trp Jurten Falls Back from combat with Ghenga onto the center objective.

The Rukkboyz are blasted to pieces.

The two Heavy Lascannons deal 14 wounds to Ghenga, downing him.
But he lurches back to his feet with a single wound remaining, thanks to
the Archeotech Nano-med.

Ghenga then Heroically Intervenes into Kpf. Pio Trp. Jurten, killing them.

Ghenga has a target rich environment and lots of killing to do.

Needing a Command Re-roll to live through the 28 shotgun blasts of Overwatch,
Ghenga quickly butchers his way through Kpf Pio Trp Arnim.

Bellowing his roar of defiance from the command platform, Ghenga fears no human!





Turn 4

Kriegmeister Keist tries to shoot Ghenga with his relic plasma pistol, but fails to deal any damage.

Stepping up, he is determined to handle the beast with his Fleshbane Powerfist.

And manages to do so, just inflicting the single wound required.

But Ghenga fights on death, easily hacking Keist down in return.

Nogbugg holds the center objective, and Bloodcuttah holds the Goffs home objective.
All other Orks are gone. The combined Heavy Support firepower removed the Killa Kanz.





Turn 5

Last turn the Mortars wiped out the Grots, leaving Gren Trp Tyborc able to claim the objective.

All indirect firepower targets Bloodcutta, who is blown to pieces.

Nogbugg attracts the attention of the Heavy Lascannon battery.
Overkill. Very very bad overkill.





Score

Krieg:    20 Primary points + 15 Secondary points = 35

Goffs:    20 Primary points + 12 Secondary points = 32


Krieg win!





Summary

Krieg finally win their 5th game (in 12 tries), completing their first Tour of Duty! Any medals awarded will be listed in the After Action Report section below. 

As usual, the firepower of the Guard was withering against an infantry opponent. Which is fitting, since it is a very WWI themed army. If Goffs had the first turn, I wonder how different the game might have been.

Warboss Garhak Ugul Blodshredda Ghenga picked up a Battle Scar, Loss of Reputation. That doesn't fit the narrative of him being only slightly less powerful than Ghaz himself, so he had to lose that one. Back after Battle 24, Ghenga had to also use the Rest and Recuperation Requisitions to rid himself of the Chest Wound and Deep Concussion he had suffered at the hands of Warboss Bonekleava (during their fights for leadership of the Waaagh!), leaving him at full power.

Tour of Duty Medals Awarded

20 Commendation points available.

Decoration of Duty

3 or 4 Commendation points

Recognised for the unlikely number of actions in which they have served with distinction, these soldiers are scarred and aged by their experiences.

This unit gains one Battle Trait of your choice. This must be a Battle Trait it can have, but does not increase its Crusade points and does not count towards the maximum number of Battle Traits that a unit can have. If this Campaign Medal is awarded to a CORE unit it costs 3 Commendation points; otherwise, it costs 4 Commendation points.

        Awarded to HWS Devorr (Mortars). (3 Commendation points)

                Slick Crew

                The crew of this squad’s support weapon are expert in its handling, working with the support                 of the rest of their squad like a well-oiled machine.

                Each time a model in this unit makes an attack with a Heavy Weapon, an unmodified hit roll                 of 6 scores an additional hit.




Survivalist Commendation

2 Commendation points

Few are those with the skill and tenacity to survive extended missions without support.

PLATOON unit only. Each time a model in this unit would lose a wound, roll one D6: on a 6, that wound is not lost.
                
                Awarded to Grenadier Trupp Horst, Valbek and Kagorik (1st Platoon).
                (6 Commendation points)



Oculus Laureate

3 Commendation points

Through keen observation, recognition of old foes or some tactical intuition, this medal’s recipients have provided priceless information to senior command that has turned the fortunes of several battles in their favour.

OFFICER unit only. In your Command phase, roll one D6 for each unit from your army that has this Campaign Medal and is on the battlefield: if any of those rolls are a 6, you gain 1 Command point.
                
                Awarded to Kriegmeister Keist, Commissar Stagler, Leutnant Karis
                (9 Commendation points)


Decree of Dispensation
2 Commendation points
As close to admitting error as the Departmento Munitorum gets, this award offers thanks to those who have averted the repercussions of an administrative mistake. Its mere mention can guarantee special access to assets and materiel.
OFFICER unit only. Once per battle, if this unit is on the battlefield when you use an Astra Militarum Wargear Stratagem, reduce the CP cost of that Stratagem by 1CP. Note that the CP cost is only reduced for that use, any future usages of it cost the normal amount of CPs.

                Awarded to Kriegmeister Keist. (2 Commendation points)
