After waiting what seemed like an eternity (actually just over three weeks) I finally got Horizon Wars this week.
After reading through it and making some initial forces, I was ready for the first outing:
The USS and the NIJA is on the warpath, lately lots of sabre-rattling and build-up of forces has taken place along the border worlds. This is one such world:
Planet Churchill III
A recently re-staffed USS outpost is about to come under attack by scouting elements of the NIJA.
The elements of the NIJA assigned to the mission. A P2 mech with an ace pilot, a P2 CHQ mech, some light and heavy cavalry elements and a unit of mobile infantry.
The USS base defenders consist of a P3 marauder heavy mech, a P2 CHQ mech, two units of light infantry and a heavy cavalry element.
Marauder starts trading shots with imperial forces.
It quickly turns into a slugfest at the gates, as the USS CHQ blocks entry to the base and the generator the imperials would like to destroy.
Both CHQ mechs are heavily damaged before long, but the imperial falls first, as his magazines detonate..
..But he is quickly followed by the USS CHQ, when the heavy cavalry finds an opening in the metal behemoths armour!
The mobile infantry falls prey to deadly crossfire from the infantry units dug in at the watchtowers.
In a last ditch effort to complete the sabotage part of their mission, the heavy cavalry focuses all his fire on the generator, and manages to partially destroy it. It ultimately costs him and his fellow tank their freedom however, as they are shot into submission and forced to surrender.
Still dueling the marauder at the gates, the remaining imperial realizes that he must fall back to report, so that his comrades valiant sacrifice will not have been in vain. He disengages and heads towards the waiting transports, and to beginn planning vengance missions..I hope you liked it, I sure loved playing it, Horizon Wars is great fun so far! I have plans for many more scenarios and is looking forward to seeing more battlereports from all of you 🙂
The complete AAR with a few more pics are on the blog as usual:

Well a read through today and initial thoughts are that they promise to be a very nice ruleset
. Die have been ordered and EM4 mechs dug out of storage for conversion work etc, which being made of plastic, should be fun and relatively easy to do.
