Game 5 - Battle Missions

One thing I decided early on from the beginning of the series, was that every 5 games I was going to do a special mission. I felt that this would hopefully keep things a bit fresh and interesting! The real challenge would be to find a variety of missions to play over the course of 50 games, but you'll see more on this later if you're going to follow up with the blog.

So first up was a scenario from the Battle Mission supplement. My opponent today was Peter, and he was very happy to oblige being filmed, in exchange for him being allowed to use his shiny forge world contemptor dreadnoughts! Peter was using his Raven Guard for this one (and this was the second game in a row where my opponent was using Shrike with 10 hammernators - no infiltration this time around thank goodness!). Peter also has a Dark Angels Deathwing army too, something which i'm sure he will be picking up again when the new codex rolls out in January (or so the internet rumour mills have been saying).

To decide the battle mission, we first each rolled a D6 - the faction rolling the highest would select from their missions (for those who don't own the battle missions supplement, each army has a number of missions assigned to it). We then randomised from the imperial guard missions, and ended up with Trench Warfare. Hope you enjoy this one, it has some funny moments!
