Four Skulls Crusade Tournament
The following battle report was sent in by Kenneth Hutchinson.
He recently played the game as part of a tournament at a
convention. Games were played with 500-point armies and the
scenario rules are below.
The agents of Semai have managed to gather up the three
activation keys that will allow entry into the fortified bunker where
the Skulls reside. Agents of Semai were transporting the keys
when a Cressentian Saradon Pack shot down their craft. The
keys are now scattered across the terrain with the wreckage of
the craft. While the keys do not reveal the location of the bunker
itself, it will allow access once it is found.
You victory points will be determined by calculating the following
factors:
1. There are three objectives (keys) worth up to 100 points
each; these are placed along the center of the table. A
model can pick up an objective for one action. He may hand
off the objective to another model for one action so long as
the two models are in base-to-base contact. If the model is
killed, the objective will be dropped where the model fell.
Possession of the objective at the game end will be worth 75
points. Retreating the model carrying the objective off the
deployment zone table edge will secure the objective and be
worth 100 points.
2. You will be awarded points for killing the enemy equal to
their point value. Models killed by enemy action will be
added up after the game. This will be worth between 0 and
500 points.
3. You will receive points for your troops who survive the battle
equal to their point value. This will be calculated by
subtracting the amount killed by your opponent from the
total you started with. This will be worth between 0 and 500
points.
4. Possession of all three objectives at the end will be worth an
additional 50 points.
The Capitol Force:
The Bauhaus Force:
The Hurricanes (Heavy Infantry)- consisting
of 8 grunts, one heavy weapon specialist
and Big Mojo as the sergeant.
The Frank's Raiders (Heavy Infantry)-
consisting of 6 grunts, and Evil Frank as
the sergeant.
Titan's Hammers (Assault Marines)-
consisting of 5 grunts, one heavy weapon
specialist, and Titan as the sergeant.
Ducal Squad- 8 grunts, 1 heavy weapon's
specialist and one sergeant.
Hussar Squad- 4 grunts, one heavy
weapon's specialist and one sergeant.
Jeager Squad- 5 grunts and one sergeant.
My strategy was to give up one key and cut the board in half with
massive firepower while sneaking in and claiming one key
myself. I had hoped the center would hold allowing lay down a
hail of fire that would allow me to claim the
remaining key.
DEPLOYMENT (LEFT)
Jack won the initiative, so I deployed
first. I deployed the Hurricanes,
squad 1, in the middle. They were to
act as the suppression squad. Jack
deployed his Ducal squad just off
center to the right of my Hurricanes
on his side of the board. Next I
deployed squad the Frank's Raider on
my left. They were to take the key to
the left then sweep in from the left
and add fire support to the middle.
The Jack deployed his Hussar squad
to my far right. I assumed in a position
to take the key to my right. But, in
doing so, it overloaded my right side.
Way too much fire power for the wellarmored
assault marines to try and
handle alone. So, I opted to deploy
