Last saturday I participated in the tournament that concluded our 5th edition doubles league. Although we had more than 20 participants in the league only 8 players could make it to the tournament.
The tournament had three rounds and had a battlepoints scoring system. Each round every player was randomly assigned both his teammate and the opponent's team.
In the first round we had a dawn of war deployment with as primary mission capture and control, as secondar mission kill points (limited to scoring units) and table quarters as tertiary mission. I teamed up with another space wolf player and we had to battle against an imperial guard player and a black templars player. We won the round as my scouts succeeded in contesting their objective in the final turn. I deepstruck my landspeeder, scattered onto a unit and was promptly removed from play.
In the second round we had a spearhead deployment. The primary mission was kill points. The secondary mission was linebreaker and there was one objective in the centre of the table as tertiary mission. For this battle I teamed up with a dark eldar player and we had to fight against the same imperial guard player, this time joined with an ork player. We also won this game. A few memoral moments: I deep struck my drop pod behind their lines and scattered just a hair from the table edge, one turn I blocked three attempts to lower my leadership from my IG opponent's three psyker battle squads and in the last round the ork player's big mek stood his ground against my wolf guard with powerfist who only hit with one attack and the promptly rolled a one to wound. I also tried to deepstrike again with the speeder and once more got destroyed on the scatter.
In the the last round we had a pitched battle deployment. The primary mission was seize ground with 5 objectives. The secondary mision was victory points and as tertiary mission we had kill points (limited to HQs). I teamed up with a footlsogger space marine army and we had the black templar player and a chaos space marines player as opponents. At the end of our opponent's last turn they had 2 objectives, we had one and there were two contested. In our last turn we succeeded in pulling the scoring units of both their objectives in assault. We won the primary but they earned more battlepoints than us on secondary and tertiary, giving them the victory. The most epic moment was the final charge of a single wolfguard with powerfist into a unit of 7 black templars, pulling them off the objective, making all three armour saves of their attacks and the promptly killing three with his powerfist. A few other memorable moments: a full unit of black templars including the emperor's champion and a full unit of khorne berserkers assaulting five grey hunters and the emperor's champion killing all five on initiative 5 finishing the combat before all those other models could even strike; and finally earlier in the game an obliterator who scattered his plasmacannon blast right on top of his plague marines taking five down.
In the end I took third overall, second best painting and a shared third place for best general.
