The Fight for Tarus Week Four

Loyalist and Renegade alike were continuing to fight for drop site Omega. Amazingly neither was giving any ground. The loyalist still have a majority of the spaceport and some reserves from thunderhawk transporters were landing men and munitions.

The totals were calculated Wednesday and for those that played the scenario the results were as follows:

Loyalists: 4 wins
Renegades: 4 wins

Since there was no clear winner, the battle for Drop Site Omega continues this week.

Only one hex changed hands. Looks like that stubborn bonus really came in handy for the Loyalists.



Summary Week Four:
Loyalists: 9 wins

Renegade: 9 wins, 1 massacres

On November 1st the campaign game army lists will move to 1000 points. Please note we will be discontinuing the bonus/penalty for hexes beyond DMZ.

The Fight for Tarus Week Two & Three

Impossible!  Renegade units from multiple sectors have made advances dangerously close to drop site omega, whats more disturbing is the fact that the desecration's of the loyalist dead have drawn the gaze of Khorne, blood storms have been raging along the front lines...

Renegade forces, cut off from their resources by the harsh hand of Lord gateman have pushed to the drop site, scavenging and raiding for supplies.

Summary Week Two:
Loyalists: 7 wins, 1 massacres
Renegade: 15 wins, 10 massacres

Week three we see the loyalists digging in for a protracted siege, this week will determine the fate of dropsite Omega...

Summary Week Three:

Loyalists: 4 wins, 1 massacres
Renegade: 6 wins, 1 massacres

The Fight for Tarus Continues...

Governor Gateman sipped his Amasec quietly as the first skirmish reports were coming across from the hive Logis.  

Overeager rebel units, to earn glory in the name of their petty gods, had thrown themselves over their defenses and into the oncoming loyalists.  Even more suprising some of them were holding ground just miles from the drop sites.

This is not how things were to be, the Angel told them to bleed the Imperium dry while his brethren marshaled their forces.  He stopped a moment to draft a communique to his commanders stating that any units beyond the primary defense lines be cut off from supplies..  yes... That will do...  Their "sacrifice" would have appeased the Angel.

As more reports came to the desk of the Governors office the picture became more clear, while the overeager forces of Tarus were attempting to push towards the dropsites the loyalists were gaining ground, albeit slowly and with numerous casualities.  The "No Mans Land' between the defence walls and the drop-sites were becoming charnel pits choked with the loyalist dead...


Summary:
Loyalists: 8 wins, 2 massacres
Renegade: 9 wins, 5 massacres



Loyalists, this is your target, Pro Imperator!

The Rebellion of Tarus IV

Snake Eyes Gaming presents
The Rebellion of Tarus IV:
A Warhammer 40,000 Escalation Campaign hosted by Gatehouse Games

Tarus IV is a Departmento Munitorum staging world. A vast network of storage and processing facilities cover the planet’s surface. Due to its proximity to the Cadian gate Tarus IV’s processing and staging facilities are protected by vast defense lines and nearly impregnable security networks. Tarus IV survived many assaults over the millennia with the most recent occurring during the13th Black Crusade.
Now something sinister has taken root on Tarus IV and the planet has gone into full scale rebellion.

The battle for Tarus IV will occur over a four month period. Each month the quantity of points used for campaign battles increases as follows:
October – 600 points
November – 1000 points
December – 1400 points
January – 1800 points
