Turn 1
The loyalist side start deploying and takes first turn. The mission is to hold objectives at the end of each turn to score a point. Destroying a Lord of war (LoW) or a warlord generate another score for the side. Both sides open up on each other and the slightly heavier firepower of the free side brings down two knights. Magnus the red and the C-tans are causing havoc among the Dark Angel lines.

Score 2-5
Loyal: Objective (x2)
Free: (Objective x2), Warlord (knight), LoW(knight), LoW (knight) 













Turn 2
The battle continues and massive Deathwing (Dark Angels) reinforcements arrive. The firepower of the death wing terminators destroy Magnus the red! Along the central battle-line a lot of causalities are taken by both sides, and the turn ends with the Iron warrior knight charging into the middle, killing a single marine.

Score 6-8
Loyal: Objective (x2), LoW (Magnus), Warlord (NL)
Free: (Objective x2), LoW(knight)
















Turn 3
Highlights of the turn is when the dreadnought charge the Iron warrior Knight and destroys it. The knight explodes and takes down a land speeder and the Tau commander in the explosion. One point to each side! In the middle of turn 3 the game turns in favor of the loyal side which now holds the middle objective and when the Storm eagle is destroyed by a Sicaran, it explodes, killing the IW lord and suddenly no one is holding the Free sides own objective. A concentrated fire towards the middle just destroy enough loyalist units to allow a victory for the free side.

Score10-11
Loyal: Objective (x2), LoW (Knight), Warlord (IW)
Free: (Objective x2), Warlord (Tau)
