Hammered and Slammed

Went to visit my friend Mark and played a bunch of games. One of our goals was to play a couple of Hammer's Slammers: The Crucible games.  The first day we kicked off with a smaller, intro game of two Slammer's detachments: a blower and a light combat car group versus a couple of Division Legere detachments (medium and light tanks, plus mechanized infantry) and a couple of local militia units.  the objective for the Slammers is to capture the crossroads in town, the defenders have to repulse the Slammers.

Peaceful Oyster Vally, not for long...

 The Valley Militia hold the city center against the onrush of off-world mercenaries

 Supertanks!  The Slammers roll in

 With a Phalanx of Combat Cars in Support (Slammers are Ainsty models painted by Mark)

 View from the militia positions

 The Combat Cars draw first blood, gunning down a buzz-bomb team

 Quickly followed by another

 And more

 Slammers gut the militia and surge forwards

Division Legere is tasked with holding back the Slammers, they begin pouring troops onto the battle area

 Undeterred the Blowers grind forwards

 More Legere forces enter

 And finally tanks arrive

 Legere armour ready to teach the Slammers a lesson

Or perhaps not, Slammers fillet the Legere tanks

 While only losing the skirts of one blower

 Slammers pound on the Legere APCs

 While the combat cars continue the job on the Legere light tanks

 A lucky shot from the light tanks takes out one Combat Car

 The combat cars also managed to clear the key buildings of infantry

 The Slammers take the win!  They caapture all objectives and break the Legere unit completely

Well fought Mark!

Wow, while that was very one sided, it was fun and completely fitting with the books.  This was a great chance to refresh out memories of the rules and play with some new toys. 

OK, onto the next game - Pandora's Cargo.
