SuMicus Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Locked Horns last night!! "AGCL!!!" "AGCL" = "Adventurer's Guild CAV League" The Match ups: SuMicus vs. Erion KAMUT vs. Silent John Mission Basically was: Defenders, fend off Attackers, At all cost Protect the Structures, (Which was all farm buildings and Farm land) Attackers, destroy all Farming Structures, and anything else was a Bonus, for victory points... Needed Sections: 1 Section of CAVs 1 Section of Transports and Infantry 1 Section of Ground Vehicles and/or Tanks Points Cap was 2,500 Points In my game against Erion, I was the Pillagers... Erion had the honors of fending off my rabid CAVs... I fielded: 1 Dictator 70, which was piloted by my XO. 2 Dictators, with Vet Pilots in them. 1 Starhawk V, I should have stayed with my original Pick, a Puma... But things happen... 2 Hedgehogs 2 Hvy Inf. w/ HvyWpns 4 Lance Tanks, decent tank, (Being they are my 1st... Erion fielded____________________, (Left Blank for him...) Well, the game started and I felt his hard hitting Vehicles and Tanks... I thought CAVs did some damage... They (the CAVs) weren't messing me up as much as the Little Fellas were... I concentrated all weapons on the enemy CAVs and the Little guys tore me a new butt... Well, seeing my forces slowly disappearing, I decided I needed to fulfill the Mission the best I could... I basically moved my Inf and APCs into a forward position, hiding in behind hills.. I popped out and shooting at the largest Building, and taking it down in structure points... His mortar teams, then laid into my Infantry. Splash damage hurts as much as taking full brunt of a CAV's main guns... OUCH!!!! Killing 1 Hedgehog and 2 Bases of Hvy Inf... I now was losing everything I placed on the battle field... The last Hedgehog, was by its self, taking out the Farm Structures... The game ended... All I had left was that Lone Hedgehog... 3 out of the 4 Structures were destroyed.. The Out House was the only thing that survived... Most of Erion's forces were still alive... When the Victory Points were handed out... it was a close game... I lost by 800-1000 points... GREAT GAME ERION!!! Add where needed ladies..

Erion Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 My forces consisted of; Firehawk Alpha Mantis Mantis Duelist (love his long-lasting ECCM) Falcon (For Rearguard) Firehawk Beta Naginata Naginata Sabre Sabre Firehawk Gamma Fenri w/ECCM Fenri W/Chain Lock, +1WSO Infantry w/ 2x Hvy Mortar Infantry w/ 2x Hvy Mortar It was just a few points shy of the limit. Figuring that the best defense was a good offense I brought the fight right out to Sum with the big boys, and left the tanks, Falcon and Infantry to defend the Farmstead. Having the Fenri with the ECCM let me get TL bonuses where I needed them Most, and the ECCM on the Duelist just keeps sticking around once you get it in the thick of things. I think almost every TL Attempt I made in the last two turns was able to take advantage of one of those two pods. Lessons Learned: 2xHvy Mortar Infantry are NASTY. Sabres make great clean-up models. I may get another blister so I can field a full section of them. Those little buggers chew through previously damaged CAV's like nobody's business ECCM is your best friend. This was easily the most fun game of CAV I've had in quite a while. The soft target buildings were easy pickings once Sum got his infantry within 18" for the FA-45's to chew them up. He Picked up 800 victory points in one section activation, so I figured the buidlings were a loss and decided to take out as much of his stuff as I could to even out the points gap. Not Very heroic, I know. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jeneki Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Nice game. Thanks for the battle report. You know, if that was my farm they were fighting over I would have modified my equipment a bit to fight back. That sounds like a Great Idea! Just think about it, a tractor CAVs with a combine on the front and some jury-rigged guns, big cool tree cutting arms, AwEsOmE! The JoR3 just HAS to have farm-CAVs!

Moderator Froggy the Great Posted July 1, 2004 Moderator Share Posted July 1, 2004 And it's this sort of thinking that probably got us MW:DA. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Erion Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Unfortunately I was camera-less last night. It was also unfortunate that Mr. Powell came too late to actually get a game in. At least we managed to get make-up games scheduled for Monday. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KAMUT Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 hey all I know is, my Regent toasted a barnyard with the MT64L and my Cherokee Rangers got a few good steaks out of it..... hehehehe Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Erion Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 I'm glad you found the scenario to be enjoyable. I think the N-scale cows in the barnyard added a nice little touch of realism, don't you? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SuMicus Posted July 1, 2004 Author Share Posted July 1, 2004 hey all I know is, my Regent toasted a barnyard with the MT64L and my Cherokee Rangers got a few good steaks out of it..... hehehehe HAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA!!!!

Leech Posted July 1, 2004 Share Posted July 1, 2004 Silly question I know, but you didn't put those mortar armed inf in the Fenri did you? Sumicus, you deversed to get beaten down. You passed up Manti for Dictators. heck, I'd beat you down just for that :oP Sounds like a good one though. Erion, scenario info would be appreciated (table layout etc). And where in the name oft he Great Ogre did you get n-scale cows?!? :o) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
