Battle Report 4
Narrative
The Space Wolves have pushed forward to an all out assault on a fortress that acts as the primary hub for Altimer military forces in this region of Kor. If the Space Wolves can crush this installation, they will have some breathing room to operate on Kor before a more significant Tau force moves to engage them. The Tau are rushing to defend the fortress, but have been delayed by the surprise Eldar attack, leaving the fortress vulnerable.
Game Notes
The Bunker Assault mission has some ambiguous rules about the size of forces. Rather than waste time play testing, we simply decided that the Defender gets 2/3 of the points that the attacker has, and must include at least one fortification in their army. We used the model and rules for the Fortress of Redemption to represent the fortress. As a result of the Eldar victory in the previous game, a choice was made to not include aircraft in the forces of the Tau Empire.
