OUTCOME OF SIEGE OF ATLANTIA WEEK 2
On Tuesday night, the assault of Atlantia began in earnest, with 1250pt games of Surging Strike. The results are below:
Chris (Shaltari) 7-1 (UCM) JJ
Matt (Scourge) 7-2 (UCM) Hector
Ian (Scourge) 8-2 (PHR) Will
Gaz (Scourge) 1-4 (Resistance) Dave
As you can see, the forces of the Occupation pulled off an outstanding defence of the city, limiting forces of the Reconquest to just one win, courtesy of Dave's Resistance.
This has clear consequences for our next game! Battered and bloodied, the forces of the Reconquest retreat and regroup around the few outposts and strong-points they did manage to capture. The UCM believes that holding these fortifications against the inevitable Scourge counter-attack will be a victory of sorts, at least until more manpower can be brought to bear in the future. Strategic direct deployment of materiel in the coming battle will be key.
Emboldened by the scale of their victorious defence, the forces of the Occupation follow quickly, rushing to drive the forces of the Reconquest out of the city completely. Though an assault on dug-in positions will be difficult, a victory in this final phase will undoubtedly shatter UCM confidence across the entire war sector.
The final mission will be 1500 Clash, STRONGPOINT DEFENCE (Mission 3B). This is a unique scenario to the campaign, and cannot be found in any of the books.
***IMPORTANT CHANGE TO SCENARIO RULES***
Forces of the Reconquest: For each Squad directly deployed, at least ONE other (non-Fast Mover) Squad must be placed in RESERVE.
With two objectives in the centre of the board, using a directly deployed infantry squad to quickly find and remove those objectives is a strongly advised tactic!
The Scenario can be found in the Atlantia Campaign attachment. If someone more techie than me can put this up visible without an attachment, that would be great!
Also, so you can really micro-manage and tailor your lists/ sabotage your opponent's car, here are the match-ups for campaign week 3:
JJ (UCM) v (Scourge) Gaz
Will (PHR) v (Shaltari) Chris
Hector (UCM) v (Scourge) Ian
Dave (Res) v (Scourge) Matt
See you in two weeks, commanders.
