Deployment - 12 inches in from board edge.
Here is my opponents Deployment, yes his entire army is stuck in this 1 corner. From left to right is Long Fangs with Arjack, 2 Grey Hunter squads, Long Fangs and far right Grey Hunters
Here is what he reserved ( on the left most rhino the Rune Priest is hiding, you can barely see his base)
To be quite honest, this was my first time playing Deathwing since 2nd ed 40k, I just unpacked the models and started coverting to be inline with the current rules about a month ago. With that said, I elected to Deathwing assault with all 5 units in reserve. This meant that 3 of the 5 arrive automatically on turn 1.
I won the roll off on starting the game 1st or 2nd and elected to give my opponent 1st turn making him deploy 1st.
Space Wolves did nothing turn on, was over in 20 seconds
II Legion turn 1.
3 units are coming in automatically from Deep Strike
Belial's Squad, 2nd Squad, 3rd Squad all voluntered to appear in front of the Space Wolves.
Belials Squad immediatly decided to mishap and appear in front of the Space Wolves ( small disagreement here, I though I had space, opponent argued no I didn't) Rolled on mishap table and opponent got to place Belials Squad any where on table.
So he places them Sqrt ( 4^2 + 6^2) feet away or the opposite corner of the table.
2nd Squad lands on target
3rd Squad - deviates 11 inches off table, dies to mishap.
So, 1/5 of my army is standing alone facing the majority of his, Only one thing to do, Shoot. I manage With the densely populated killing ground in front of me I elect to use 2x Frag Missiles, 8x Storm Bolter Shots and manage to kill 3 Long Fangs and 1 Grey Hunter. The Long Fangs then decide to roll an 11 for morale, followed by a 9 for running away and run off board.
Turn 2
Heres a quick shot of turn 2
Long story short, lost that Term Squad, while Belials Squad move 9 inches,
Turn 3-4
Well the game is pretty much lost for me at this point, but moral victories can be achieved. I got another Term Squad with attached Librarian to land near the Wolves, I shot, not doing much, Wolves advanced, Only 1 wolf Squad was able to charge, After the dust settled, Only my Cyclone was alive, But I'd won the combat and chased the Wolves away, He rolled 7 inches on fall back, I consolidated 5 so I could stay close enough for that squad not to rally, it fell back off table next turn.
Turn 5
Space Wolf has all army on table, in that corner, Rune Priest in back Rhino where I cannot, reach him,
Last Squad finally arrives,
