Rebel Yell

This is the first battle between the Rebel Grotz and the Gorker Klan Da' Best. Ever since the purchase of Digganob, Eric(pictured above) has been very excited to try out the Rebel Grotz. So a list was devised featuring a big lugga with splatapult.
We rolled for the scenario, and it was determined that Eric's Head Honcho Chachugga would lead a raid against One of Shizzpounda's convoys. I rolled a "D3" to determine the number of ladz that would accompany the driver and gunner, and managed the always happy 1. I also rolled a 2 for scrap counters. Shizzpounda decided that he himself would guard the newly acquired scrap. Chachugga left the cutta and the big lugga crewed by six rebels in reserve to spring the trap on the unexpecting Ork nob.



Chachugga had to liked his odds facing so few boyz. His men scattered into cover to limit the damage that the big shoota would inflict on the Ork's turn.
The Ork trukk twisted, turned and then eventually failing a thruster test, swerved into position to open up on the banna waver and and a rebel grot. The big shoota fires off 4 shots managing to polish off the grot, and force the banna waver to go down.



The grotz moved into position and prepared to make war. The big lugga arrived and surged forward 15 inches, but the cutta was nowhere to be seen. In the shooting phase the spatapult elected to fire a flaming shot, but to avail, and failed to penetrate the trukk's armour. The rebel footers fired a salvo at the roaring trukk, but the hail of bullets graze off harmlessly. In the recovery phase the banna waver got up and was ready for some more fighting.
At the start of the Ork's turn, Shizzpounda leaped off the trukk and charged the closest grot he could find. Gorebag, the Ork gunner charged at the banna waver. Combat started with Shizzpounda breaking a grot's head in, and Gorebag, despite winning combat, failing to inflict a wound against the weaken banna waver.



Turn 3 started with the arrival of the cutta right near the action. The big lugga continued toward the fight but lost one of the crew in the process. the grotz swarm the nob hoping to overwhelm him and bring him down. A crewman from the cutta jumped off to assist the banna waver against Gorebag. The banna waver and grot hold up against Gorebag. The combat against the nob is a little more interesting. Due to fortuitous experience rolls and some leg surgery Shizzpounda has an outstanding base 3 attacks and 4 when using two close-combat weapons. This combined with well timed sixes and fumbles from the opponent, he managed to beat off 3 grots before losing combat to the head honcho. Chachugga, much to the chagrin of Eric, failed to wound his target, do to his(and all grotz) pathetic strength. At the end of the recovery phase all but one grot engaged with Shizzpounda get back up to fight again, keeping the game up in the air.
During the Ork's turn the trukk cliped the cutta causing 1 hit to the trukk and a D3 result of 1 on the cutta. Both vehicles suffer a movement penalty, but nothing too serious. In the process the trukk hit Gorebag and banna waver. Gorebag shrugged off the hit, but it was too much for the banna waver as he went out of action. The Nob takes down all besides Chachugga and another grot, and Gorebag cuts down a grot for good measure as well. All of these casualties piling up will result in a bottle out test for the grotz, so after some deliberation the grotz voluntarily bottle out. The game was over with the Orks and Shizzpounda victorious.
