The Eastern Fringe Trading Company are trying to brake through the outskirts of the village of Talwasa.

In previous battles have we seen the Eastern Fringe Trading Company trying to smash through the village of Talwasa to reach the large planes behind. Using the open landscape for faster movement and the ability to wrap around.

In game 9 we saw them use armour to brake the fortified lines of the Expeditional Protection Force.

In game 10 the Eastern Fringe Trading Company tried to clear out the village with small scale infantry assaults.

In this game we will see the Eastern Fringe Trading Company gathering for an armoured push through the suburbs on the far side of the village of Talwasa to get to the open spaces as mentioned above.
The Expeditional Protection Force saw what was about to happen and quickly moved an reinforced mechanised force with a armoured force in its heel to block this from happening.

But the Eastern Fringe Trading Company have and ace up its sleeve...
They have escalated the conflict by involving a Knight house to assist their Solar Auxilia forces.


For this game we tested the Warhammer 40k Apocalypse rules.
Håkan and I took our regular forces and our friend Erland would field his Knight House in this game.
Only Håkan had any experience with the Apocalypse rules and would guide us on the rules. And for this game we would use some house rules if I remember correctly as an example, alternate activation.

Erlands Knight House would reinforce my army in turn to and Håkans armoured forces would also enter in turn two.

Erland had to call it quit and Håkan and I decided to end the game for us to.
So with one knight down, one heavily damaged and lots of casualties on both sides we zoom out of the battlefield with the final results of the battle unknown.
 
All in all I think we all liked the simplified rules of Apocalypse and I am more then happy to play more games of it to try it out even more.
It might not have the details of some other rules but this is by intend to slim it down, to speed up larger games.
