On Tuesday the 19th of June Ugly Pete's Discount Exotics (my Squat smugglers) encountered Inperial Guard Kill Team Delta India Echo. My boys were away on business and only Davidoff, Willow and Dead-Eye Hank were guarding my supply of fresh water. Out of knowhere come five imperial guardsmen who started opening fire. Valdik, a gunner with a heavy bolter opened the first shots and my men ducked for cover. It turned out however that my men weren't the targets at all. He was aiming at my water! Despite hitting the barrels twice the damage was minimal and my water was intact. Jura, the sergeant of the Kill Team opened fire as well on the barrels with his storm bolter, but to no avail.
Of course my men returned the favour, Dead Eye Hank shooting Valdik down with his Tau Pulse Rifle who floated to the ground thanks to his grav chute. Unfortunately for Hank, this was his last shot as his energy cell turned out to be depleted. Willow moved back to shoot Jura with his Multi-Laser but found the sergeant still out of sight after having moved as far as his little legs could carry him. Davidoff found all targets out of sight and climbed op a container to get a better view.
With the Heavy Bolter down the chances of the Imperial Guard destroying my water supply were a lot smaller, so the Imperial Guard retaliated by first shooting Willow, who was hit but not wounded. Unfortunately, he couldn't keep his balance on the container he was standing on and fell to the ground, out of the game. Jura, the sergeant made a retreat towards the downed gunner Valdik, to heal him with his medikit. Waldo, an imperial guard trooper with a thirst for blood and a bionic leg ran towards Dead-Eye Hank who was standing all alone behind the water barrels, with an empty gun and a knife. He didn't feel much like being butchered with a chainswordso he moved back a bit, out of range of Waldo and out of range of any dangerous edges. In the meantime the remaining Imperial guard peppered the water supply with shots but failed to destroy it. Davidoff had found a sweet spot with a great view from where he could stand still and rapid fire his bolter at the Guard below, and with success. In the meantime reinforcements arrived in the form of Ugly Pete (my leader with plasma gun), Bald Stu (a juve) and Brian "loudmouth" Taggart (a fresh juve). Pete set the example by shooting another Imperial Guard soldier down, and with only one man left standing on the table and squat reinforcements creeping in the Guardsmen left the field. Their mission failed and with my water supply intact.
Shortly afterwards, a violent scrap broke out over the same premise, involving both full teams and a Space Marine ally on the side of the Imperial Guard Kill Team.
It was a hard fought game and near the end we were both taking bottle tests. However, I got the shorter end of the stick and there was little point in me sticking around with lots of wounded squats walking about with empty weapons. This was a war of attrition I could not win.
