Word was that a fuel supply was going to be the target of a terrorist group, so it Canoness Rose Mary's mission to make sure that nothing happened to it.   Rose Mary's small force was stationed at the fuel supply.  Eight sentries were on duty at all times, but Rose Mary was quite confident that no one would dare to make a move on the fuel depot while her force was there.  Little did she know...

Turn 1

Colonel Schaeffer's crew moved forward into position.  Unfortunately, Scope had an itchy trigger finger and couldn't resist taking a shot at one of the sentries on duty.  The sister's power armor had no trouble deflecting the shot and the alarm was sounded.  Seeing that Rose Mary's force was taking action, Rocket Girl also took the opportunity to take a shot.  She must have slipped when she fired because the Battle Sisters saw bombs bursting in air.

Delta Squad mobilized first and Rocket Girl fell to bolter fire.  Rose Mary's Rhino moved over the North hill to find Schaeffer, Animal and Warrior Woman running out of a building.  The Storm bolter fired but animal was just too quick to hit.  Alpha and Beta squad moved around into position.

Turn 2

Schaeffer's crew now moves forward since they no longer have to be cautious of alerting the Sisters of their presence.   Animal opens fire with his meltagun at the rhino and the rhino explodes.  Thankfully Rose Mary and her squad were not in their trusty troop carrier.

Reinforcements arrive.  The Emperor once again looks out for his faithful servants.  The Immolator and Seraphim move onto the Western edge of the field.  Delta Squad then fires on fingers and he falls to bolter fire.  Beta Squad are in position and fire on Brains, killing him and making Ox go Berserk.

Turn 3

After destroying Rose Mary's rhino, Animal rushes over the hill and tears through the armor of a Sister in Delta Squad with his meltagun.  Ox steadies his heavy bolter and a Celestian falls.  Colonel Schaeffer, Warrior Woman, Animal and Shiv all rush forward and assault Delta Squad.  Four members of Delta Squad fall, but not without taking Warrior Woman with them.

Preacher Clif's squad of Heavy Flamers jump out of their Immolator and flame Hero.  Beta squad finally has had enough of the annoying Scope and they open fire on him, leaving the ruins he was hiding in riddled with bolter holes.  Scope is no more.  The Seraphim decide to join the fray and assault Schaeffer.   Delta Squad has had enough and runs from combat...not fast enough as animal runs them down. 

Turn 4

Demolition Man decides to make his début and sprints out of the forest, tossing an explosive in the direction of Rose Mary's squad.  All but the Heavy Flamer fall from the blast.  The Hospitalers are going to have a hard time piecing Rose Mary back together, but they always manage to do it.  Amazingly Hero charges the last Sister from Rose Mary's squad even though his entire body is covered in flame.  Demolition Man joins in on that assault, but the Sister is enraged of the death of her Squad so she is not going anywhere.  Shiv and Animal assault Beta Squad.  Both sides strike blows with no casualties.  Schaeffer brings down a few more Seraphim, but they manage to put one wound on him.

Turn 5

Time is beginning to run out for the Last Chancers.  They need to make a move soon to destroy the fuel supply but things are not looking good.  Grease Monkey falls from the last remaining Celestian and Ox dies by fire from Preacher Clif's squad.  Alpha Squad assaults Shiv and eliminates him from the battle.  Animal seems to be just to fast for any Sister to kill.  Schaeffer kills yet another Seraphim.

Turn 6

Animal is now surrounded by Sisters.  Two Veteran Sister Superiors double team him and he finally gets split in two by a power sword.  Schaeffer however, clips the wings of yet another Seraphim.  The last Celestian and Preacher Cliff's squad now move toward Schaeffer, a.k.a. the meat grinder.

Turn 7

The last Celestian makes it into the Assault with Schaeffer.  The Colonel kills the last two Seraphim, and the Celestian realizes she is no match so runs from combat.    Schaeffer then withdraws from the battle since it is now futile.  He is the last of his men standing on the field.   The fuel supply is safe. The Sisters carried through on their mission, but not without heavy casualties.  It may never be known why Colonel Schaeffer attack the Daughters of the Emperor since he is supposedly loyal to the Emperor himself.  One thing is for certain... The Emperor was not by Schaeffer's side that day.
