Destroy Storage Tanks (Battle Report)

Tonight saw an armoured clash between the British and Germans. The British were targeting one of Professor Lange's storage facilities and aiming to destroy the 2 storage tanks.

The storage facility 

The British armoured unit arrives 

The German defenders roll out

The Merlin advances 

One of the Guardian walkers runs ahead

The Mudskipper being well aware of the Tigers Railgun takes cover 

The Firefly takes a shot at the Tiger X

The second Guardian walker moves out to the left flank 

The Tiger X returns fire at the Firefly its Railgun making short work of the Sherman

A long range effort from the Merlin goes wide

The walker on the right flank takes cover

Hoping the Tiger is distracted by the Merlin it makes a bold move 

Which ends very badly! 

 At this point I was seriously worried. My opponent had a Tiger x and Zeus guarding the centre of the board both equipped with guns that can tear through all armour

On the left flank the Guardian moved from cover to cover

On the right the Guardian took cover behind the knocked out Mudskipper 

The Bren Carrier eagerly r to drop the Automatons off came up with a genius plan to avoid the Tiger. Hide beneath some built up earth works

Seizing an opportunity the walker on the left flank charges the Tiger but fails to get through the thick armour 

The Merlin misses again this time at the Zeus. The British infantry advance from the half track 

The Zeus quickly destroys the Guardian after its failed attack on the Tiger

The sole surviving Guardian moves up on the right

The Merlin hits the Tiger in the side and blows it up! 

With the Tiger gone that was the one weapon I truly feared out of the way. My Merlin had a chance against the AT gun but the railgun with +8 was to scary for my liking.

The last Guardian charges the Zeus hoping to do better than his fellow walker

Which he does!!! His flail smashes into the Zeus and knocks it out

Bert and Ernie strike again taking out the Puma

 The last turn and the Germans had infantry dug in stopping me get any of my squads close enough so I had to take a pot shot from my Merlin.

The Merlin lands a lucky hit blowing a storage tank to pieces 

The last Guardian walker charges the other  storage Tank destroying it for the game win. 

Brilliant game tonight. The Germans did some solid defending, I only broke through on the last turn. The Tiger held the centre brilliantly and took out two vehicles before being knocked out. The Merlin did really well on its first outing. I was a bit cautious with it as I lost my Firefly and Mudskipper by turn 3. Really enjoyable game!
