Space Hulk AAR – The Sequel

This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a second game of Space Hulk, continuing from the previous mission.

After returning to the battle barge, sensors detected the telemetry from the two marines with faint life signs deeper inside the ship. A rescue mission was quickly planned to locate and recover the two marines if their condition was viable. If not, cleanse and protect the gene-seed.

Terminators lead the way with tactical marines as backup.

The nearest corridors fill with ‘steelers.

The tactical marines redeploy to find less congested entrances. Chaos marines teleport in and attempt to gather the geneseed of the marines left from the previous mission.

The Chaos marines are wiped out by ‘steelers and long range terminator fire.

Space Hulk AAR

This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a game of Space Hulk. The mission for the Space Marines was to find an artifact at the far end of the table and return it to one of the entry points. First edition (1989) rules were used, with a few additions from the expansions.

The objective artifact is hidden in one of the bio-engineered rooms at the top.

The left squad covers Genestealer entry points on the left while the others move toward the objective.

No casualties so far, but the right squad is nose to nose with some Genestealers.

The Space Marines take significant losses before reaching the objective area.

The captain orders the survivors to escape if they can….

There were only four marine survivors, and the artifact was not recovered. A complete Genestealer victory.

Saga – Vikings vs Saxons

This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a SAGA game.

The Vikings must take the three buildings from the Saxons.

The Vikings lose a melee on the left and drive back the Saxon leader in the center.

The Viking leader is slain by the Saxon leader.

Meanwhile a fox eyes the undefended chicken pen.

Bolt Action AAR: Bieville – Bienville June 1944

This weekend the local HMGS-South group played a Bolt Action game.

South of Sword Beach, June 8, 1944.

The British 1 / Suffolk Regiment is advancing south toward Caen following the D Day landings. The next objective for the regiment is the twin villages of Bieville – Bienville. The 1^st Platoon of ‘B’ Company is making a flanking attack against the German defenses on the outskirts of the villages. Once the defenses are overcome, the remainder of the regiment can attack the villages.

The German 736 Regiment of the 716^th Division is trying to form a solid defensive line in front of Caen. The 3^rd company of the regiment has been tasked with holding Bieville – Bienville. The 2^nd Platoon has dug into hasty defensive positions on the outskirts of Bieville – Bienville to delay the British advance.
