>whew< I am now officially 40k'd out. Two great games on Friday, followed by another great game Saturday, followed by the big multiplayer battle today at Zgames makes me ready to take a break... for a day or two, tops ;-)

Saturday's game vs Mike's Tyranids was yet another nail-biter. We played a take-and-hold, where I was the defender. Mike did a great job forcing me out of the objective, but I got pretty lucky with some key morale rolls (breaking and falling back when I needed to, making it when I needed to) and I ended up having enough firepower left to finish him off. John took pictures and wrote up a batrep which I need to post.

Today's megabattle at ZGames was fun. It was a 12 player (6 per side) rescue scenario, Space Marines (6 different chapters!) vs a ragtag collection of Eldar, Orcs, Tau and chaos-tainted Imperial Guard. We Marines found the objective on the first turn, but the Rhino that found it ended up immobilized (stinkin' difficult terrain rolls!). Since the token *couldn't* be passed off to another unit until the holding unit was destroyed, it just sat there while the enemies converged. We couldn't hold that flank, so a Wraithlord was able to come in and pop the rhino, swipe the token and fall back. My Imperial Fist guys did pretty well (away from the main token-action), shooting the railgun off a Hammerhead, killing a bunch of Guard in assault, sweeping into a bunch of Tau (and getting shot to Hell during) and eventually getting eaten by Genestealers. I ended up fighting 5 different armies in one battle: Tau, Imperial Guard, Eldar, Harlequins and Tyranids. Pretty cool!

I took my new WarpGate terrain piece over to ZGames and gave it to the store. We used it in the megabattle, and it looked good. Now I must make a replacement for my terrain collection.
