Wargaming Terrain: Mediterranean Villa

I recently completed a relatively large piece of gaming terrain for use in games of Bolt Action, using plaster blocks made from molds from HirstArts.

It could also be used in any 28mm wargame, including Warhammer 40k, Warhammer Fantasy or Kings of War.

After a hiatus caused by the insanity of the Assault on Morkandy Beach, the battle reports returned with the debut of the Brazen Claw Army, fighting against the Orks in Cityfight.

Battle Report: Tyranids vs. Orks Cityfight Coup de Main

Scenario: Cityfight Coup de Main
Tyranid Forces: Darkwing
Ork Forces: Badelaire

The Scenario
For this battle we decided on Cityfight, as it had been a while since we played it, and decided to roll the dice to determine the scenario. The randomly generated scenario was determined to be Coup de Main. Normally, due to their nature as the ever-eating swarm, the Tyranids are always the attacker, but we decided that there could be some legitimate reason for the Tyranids to be the defender in this case. Perhaps the Orks wanted to take the objective building and the Tyranids were protecting new hatchlings there, or perhaps just wanted to lure the Orks into a kill zone centered on the building. In any case, we diced off for it, and the Tyranids ended up being the defender.

Note: As part of a campaign where the Tyranids attacked a fortified city held by the Imperial Guard, the Guard were allowed 4D6 x 10 points of items from the Defender's Armory for the battle. They chose one Bunker, a Plasma Mine (in 2nd Squad, 1st Platoon, and a Twin-linked Lascannon Sentry Gun in Point Defense mode.

This was our first attempt at actually using Cityfight, so we kept it to a 1000 point battle. Meeting Engagement seemed to be the simplest of the missions, which would allow us to play with a minimum of fuss and figure out the new rules. All in all, it resulted in a close and exciting game, which we completed in about four hours. (And that's with me taking notes and pictures all the time so I could make the battle report)
