THE BATTLE OF CLUB-HEAD
Circa Apr 3500
The corrupt and evil forces of Lord Knight Shanker (5th Armoured Legion) & Lord Knight Big Beeb (2nd Andromida Brigade) attacked the peace loving forces of Lord Knight Vulture ( Garbonian - 667th Heavy Assault Brigade) & Lord Knight Stu ( Asswipes Brigade) whilst undertaking RR on the planet of Club-Head.
LK Shanker was expecting to overwhelm LK Vulture's forces by deploying his a large number of ground vehicles. He was surprised however, to discover that 'Mik's Mercenaries' a close ally and relative of LK Vulture was on planet. (Mik's Mercenaries is an armoured formation with associated aero-space support that does not have it's own integral infantry unit, rather it relies upon the supporting formation to provide such cover as is necessary). As such the forces engaged were relatively equal, both sides deploying around 15 MBTs and some 200 + troops.
Taking an extraordinary long time, both sides deployed their vehicles in full sight, whilst keeping the majority of their infantry in reserve. At the appointed time, both sides opened fire simultaneously and a number of vehicles were knocked out. LK Shanker & LK BB focused much of their troops firepower attempting to destroy the Imperial Walker of LK Vulture as it towered over the battlefield. Absorbing a huge amount of punishment, eventually it succumbed and the internal Thermal Powerplant exploded wrecking the vehicle.
An exchange of Surface-To-Surface Missiles (SSMs) just as daylight faded
brought hostilities to a close.
LK Shankers was the first to drop, the powerful warhead blowing away
some 10 troops of LK Stu's. He retaliated by launching his own SSM.
LK BB revealed a secret SMERSH weapon developed at the secret LOLA weapons
factory, and attempted to shoot the SSM down as it plunged through the
atmosphere.
This failed to intercept however, but the missile deviated off the
target and made a large hole in a field, not hurting anyone.
Totalling up casualties caused, the forces of LK Shanker & LK BB
had taken 1600 points worth of damage, whilst the forces of LK Vulture
& LK Stu had taken 1640.
