--- BATTLE REPORT III: FIRST BLOOD ---
Before our next primary objective, we decide to cleanse Chaos from the entire system.
We flip a coin and decide to go to Nomanus first, followed by Goronado, then Belaeno.
I activate 2nd Squad and 8th Squad. Sergeant Gondolin gets a Plasma Gun.
Brother Boris of the Devastators equips a Missile Launcher, while his sergeant takes a Heavy Bolter.
There is only the Emperor, and he is our shield and protector.
We deploy.... Very shittily.
The Milites Inclina rush for cover:
Meanwhile, the Devastator Squad has deployed at the edge of the map! (Note both squads won't fit on one screen)
They rush forward to support 2nd Squad.
The Chaos Marines decide to advance on 2nd Squad me from every direction. This prevents me from falling back further, so I'll have to rush my fire support forward.
While Milites Inclina wait for support, they try to take out as many Traitor Marines as they can.
Two go down, but the squad is clearly expended from the effort.
The heavy weapons seek cover, while the rest of 8th Squad struggles towards firing range.
But they are not quick enough to save Crixus from falling to nade spam.
Suddenly, a hollow click echoes against the ruined walls... It's the sound of a heavy bolter getting set.
Brother Lindblum is caught in the open while hurrying to support the Tacticals. A half-dozen bolts tear through his power armor and explode within his flesh.
If your life is given in service to the Emperor, your death shall not be in vain.
Brother K. Slips decides to steal the enemy's tactic, and kills one Traitor with a Krak Grenade.
The other dies to the avenging rage of Garfunkel's bolter.
Only a few cultists are left... And that damned Heavy Bolter.
The cultists tumble, parting way for the gust of bolts.
Brother Overboard runs to flank the Havoc Marine from its left.
But the enemy decides to... run into close range of the Tactical Squad?
There's not enough time to set and launch a missile, so Boris throws a Krak Grenade instead.
And succeeds.
A pyrrhic victory.
and 
to the fallen.
aside, is the game actually any good ?
