The defeat of Hive Eschemel

Ig- Jon D.
SM- Todd F.


turn 1- jon's guardsmen open up with a massive volley with every thing they have at their disposal, killing 7 of todds space marines and a space marine vet.
todd however charges his space marines across the open killing grounds so jon could not use his numbers to his advantage.

turn 2- jon brought in his reserves of ten stormtroopers in a chimera transport right into Todd's southern flank. the stormtroopers did nothing but their chimera killed 2 space marines. todd assault marines sargeant destroyed the chimera. jon lost 17 guardsmen this round.

turn 3- jon's lascannon managed to kill todd's tank and a marine and 3 space marine vets.

turn 4- jon kills the last vet. todd's space marines begin their final push to break through, killing hopless defenders.

turn 5- with only 3 remaining men it is very unlikly that jon can win. this is proven when Todd's first few shot kill them all.

conclusion- Hive Eschemel is destroyed and any remaining souls still hiding in the Moldovian strong point were executed in massive ammounts, as troops and tanks pour through the town to chase down the retreating companies
