Battle for Armageddon

  In 1992 Gamesworkshop released Battle for Armageddon in a series of Board games, they released a further expansion 'Chaos attacks' letting you play the first war of armageddon. The game has an asymetric setup, with all Orks units starting on the board and only a Token Imperial force defending rivers and Hives, as the game progresses the Imperial build up and eventually (if the Imperials can manage it) they overwhelm the Orks.

The game began with a really aggresive Ork push and some good dice rolls allowing them to push across the rivers and past the border defenders.

A quick Imperial couter offensive cut off the initial Ork push, not long afterward the orks swept away the rough riders.

The Battle along the Stygies river quickly turned into a stalemate as wave after wave of Orks smashed into the Factory and Hive defences. West (up) from this combat a disaster occured as the Titans and Guardsmen holding the Diabolus river are wiped out by a wave of Gargants.

In the east the Orks managed to encircle the Defenders along the Stygies river losing half the defenders to starvation, at the same time Ork Biker boyz ran reckless across the wastes destroying factories.

The Imperial counter attack now occured, the massive factories poured out army after army of Tanks and guardsmen, the Spacemarines landed cutting off the Attackers in the west whilst in the east the Imperial Guard tank divisions blew holes in the Western attackers, in this turn Ghazkull also died assaulting the defenders along the Stygies river, leaving Helsreach as the only objective left to achieve for the Imperials ending the game.
