Capture and control, spearhead, Guard sieze the treeline but let Tau make first

moves. Tau take outpost near the temple, reinforcing it with fire warriors and

Shasel commander directs the frontal assault. Guard respond by taking the forest

in the north east corner. 2 of the guards finest squads, 2 sets of mortars,

platoon command plus lord commissar commanding. Kroot infiltrate in range of the

guard forest.

Tau and Guard face off crisis commander hidden behind temple colomn

Tau 1

The Tau Shasel Commander, eager to start the game on the front foot, dashed into

the temple but immediately lost a wound jetpacking into cover! He then killed a

guard heavy weapon trooper with a well placed missile pod shot. Kroot took aim at

the same mortar team and put another wound on them. The combined fire of 2 Fire

warrior teams killed 5 of nearest guard unit, the Tau taking careful aim throughgaps between the temple columns. Commander moved to the centre of the battlefield

without wounding himself!

Guard 1

The guard rolled for penal squads: Penal 1 knife fighters- extra cc attack,

rending. Penal 2 got the same abilities (same hiveworld, clearly).

Guard decide who to shoot first. Big coin is objective.

Orders were issued by platoon command they issued firefire to 5 remaining

catachans who had felt the sharp end of Tau pulse rifles last turn. These 5

troopers fired at the kroot resulting in 3 being removed. Mortar units took aim

at the same Kroot unit - 3 dead from unit 1, 5 kroot dead from unit 2. The Kroot

were pinned! But despite 11 casualties this turn they didnt run. The rest of the

Guard put 4 lasgun hits on Tau commander but no wounds were caused!

Tau 2

Kroot outflank! On wrong side of the table - woe! They hastily re-think and

decide to try and block guard flanking moves via table edge conga.

Da-da-da, come on and do the Kronga!

Commander continued his lonely advance - but failed to kill the mortar team.

Firewarrior unit 2, lacking any targets, ran up to support him. Fire warrior team

one, sitting on the Tau objective, took aim at the 5 catachans and killed 1 of

them with their long rifles. Pinned Kroot got up.. quite a poor Tau turn.

Commander moves in

Fire warrior team 1 took aim and picked off 2 of the outflanking Penal troops,

the two remaining Kroot rapid fired their rifles and got another 1, and the

penals ran! The fire warriors ran up into the ruins trailing their commander, who

took the initiative and assaulted catachans- they bravely did 1 wound to the

commander, who killed 2 in reply. They ran for table edge, while the commander

hid behind tree.
