BatRep 024-09-07-2000
Imperial Guard vs Eldar
Patrol

"I didn't ask for your opinion, Lieutenant. In case you haven't noticed we are losing this planet and the eyes in the sky want results!"

"Sir, someone or something has been following our movements here for days. You don't think it's just a little odd that all our Sentinel sensor arrays go on the fritz at the same time? And with all due respect to your opinion, Sir, Penal Trooper 1047814 is not deliberately losing his ammo. Grond looks after that autocannon like it was his own mother."

"He's a mutant and a criminal, and I don't care if his mother is Mary Regis herself, he can't be trusted. He's obviously insubordinate and frankly I'm a little concerned that it might be catching, if you understand me. As for your Eldar sabotage theory, they're busy with the Saracens leagues north of here-- how are they supposed to even know we're down here?"

"Well, Sir, you did insist on bringing the Exterminator. Perhaps a battle tank wasn't the best choice for a covert patrol. It's a little hard to hide..."

"I don't care for your attitude, Lasater! Now get those Sentinels over that hill and give me visual recon!"

Ben and Brian (like loading Ewoks with a forklift): Well, having just painted up nine Sentinels, I had to use them, and since we didn't have a Patrol mission on the books yet, that seemed like a perfect scenario to try them out. Unfortunately, as you will see from the batrep to come, I have a long way to go before I fully understand my new toys...

Andy and Jeremy (big horkin' wraithbone): I really don't know what to expect from this battle. I've never used an Alaitoc force quite like this before-- lots of really specialized troops-- so I'm going to have to iron out some kinks and FAST, if any appear. Of course, I have two Wraithlords in the army, and that should be enough cheese to cover any slack in my tactical expertise. With the possible exception of the Dark Reapers, I think this army is fairly representative of a "stalking" patrol force and the reinforcements that they could call on.
