Battle Report: OPR Orc vs Brothers Part II

 The Orc boss, Mad Mike, having destroyed the Brother's patrol now aims his force at their main defensive line.  He orders the gobbos to haul their heavy weapons up to the front to deal with the strongpoints.  

The Brother Master sent his APCs to the rear and summoned additional squads.  Pathfinders, Support, and Assault Brothers all filled the ranks left by the recovering Destroyers. 

"Roughly 1300 points of Brothers"

"A solid defense was set up on the southern ridge line"  

The battle begun with the Goblin artillery hitting the Brother lines and killing several troopers.  The Master will have none of that and ordered the Assault brothers to fall upon the rear of the artillery.  

"Surprise!"

Mad Mike does what all good Orc bosses do.  He orders his truck toward the center of the line at full speed.  Unfortunately the charge does not go well.  The initial volley from the Brothers is devasting.  When his mob finally reaching the ridge line heir attacks falter and the Brothers hold firm.  

The Support Brothers prove their worth and bring down two of the Ultra Boss orcs.  In an attempt to disrupt their fire the Orc truck plows into the weapon teams.  One is crushed and the squad is indeed stunned by crazy vehicle rampaging through their position.  

 

The failure of Mad Mike's charge is the tunning point of the battle.  The remaining orc mobs on foot are torn apart with righteous firepower.  The Assault brothers did destroy the goblin artillery in time.  The little bastards proved a nuisance to kill and very resilient.  They kept hiding under their guns.  

At the end it is a Brother Victory 2-1.  

As a note in this battle I experimented with using 2/3 scaling for measurements.  I do not use a full 6 x 4 game matt, and I thought this would be better represent the full playing area.  At the end it simply did not feel right.  OPR is fun for the back an forth counters each army could do per activation.  I will return to full "28mm" measurements in the next game.
