A close, hard fought game with John, tonight! Fun game! We played the the Scavenge Supplies mission of Killzone Munitorum. Command re-rolls were not kind tonight, I don’t believe that either one of us converted more than 1 re-roll all night. Came down to the last shots of the game. John controlled 3 for 7VPs objectives and I controlled 2 for 6VPs. I took my Comms specialist out to contest the objective at the top of the last turn 4 and he brought one tactical marine out to retake it. So, in the shooting phase I needed to shoot his Reiver of the objective which I was able to with 4 shots from my Sniper Specialist. But my Demolitions guy was unable to take out the tactical marine, which in turn took out my Comm specialist with his last Readied model. I was down to my Leader and Pathfinder with the Ion Rifle. The pathfinder failed to wound him. But my Leader hit with 2 6+ shots from his burst cannon. Only 1 wounded…. but the tactical failed his save by 1. Command re-roll did not convert (neither one of us were too surprised)! The injury roll takes him out of action and off that objective. The Imperium has one chance and that is if the game continues. I had initiative so I rolled – my dice came through with a 1 and the game ended. T’au win 6 – 4.
