The second game in the campaign was a 1000 pt capture and control mission between the Imperial Guard and Tau planetary force. The deployment was spearhead and the Tau deployed first.
The first number of turns resulted in minimal damage to both the IG and Tau. Orbital bombardments from the master of ordnance had little effect due to atmospheric disturbance effecting the targeting arrays.
Once Tau reinforcements arrived in the form of deep striking crisis suits the advantage moved. A well placed Fusion blast found a poorly welded section of the Leman Russ, causing the vehicle to explode.
A heroic charge by Sgt Bastonne and his unit of Veterans, as well as Las cannon fire from a heavy support team resulted in a number of suits being vapourised. Unfortunately, this was not enough to turn the tide and the remaining suits cut down the Command HQ.
By the end of game the Tau had a firm hold of two objectives , whilst the IG had only the single objective.
Victory to the Tau.
'Battalion command this is One One Charlie. One One Alpha is gone, situation is critical. We are retreating over. Vestro, Heng, get your arses out of this building!'
