JAG Warhammer 40K

Every so often we run a big battle day at the club. On the 4th of March we ran an all day WH40K game of Imperial Guard and Space Marines versus a huge Ork force. Each army worked out at around 6,000 points.

The table (12 feet by 8 feet) was split into a front and back table, as none of us could reach across an eight foot wide table. There were 3 objectives, one on the first table and two on the second. Each objective was worth 500 points to the Imperial Guard/Marine players and 1,000 points to the Orcs. Army losses were to be ignored and the game won or lost on objectives. If the Orcs could take one objective they would draw, more than one and they would win!

Once the Orcs took the first objective, they were free to bring any reserves they had not used on to the sides of the back table. All through the game any player could move or shoot between the two rows of tables.

	Both sides set up their forces on the first table.
And on the back table wait the Marines and Imperial Guard tanks
	The Orcs win the die roll for first move and advance toward the objective on the front table.
The Imperial Guard get their first chance to shoot at the advancing horde.
	At the end of move three, the Orcs are approaching the walls of their first objective.
The Imperial Guard have decided to retreat to the back table - perhaps for safety in numbers.
	The Orcs take the objective on the first table and prepare to move into the back table and take the remaining two objectives.
Massive Orc forces move onto the back table
	The Orcs are closing on a combined Imperial Guard and Marine force, dug in and waiting for them.
Now the Guard launch their tanks into a counter-attack to force the Orcs to retreat
	At 6pm the game ends on the high water point for the Orc attack. It is obvious that the Orcs will fail to take either of the objectives on the back table and soon will break and flee. The attack has failed!
	The Orks demand a rematch - see what happened
