Time for a big update! Back in January, when Chicago was buried under 2 feet of snow, I braved the weather to play a game of Tomorrow's War with Josh. He was fielding his newly painted Tau warriors, but in true DIY fashion we added them to the Galactic Frontier as the Subathi Empire. Here's the fluff for our battle:
The Slums of New Tupelov
Colony World: Fornacis III
Area: New Tupelov
New Tupelov, long prized for its position overlooking the primary spaceport on Fornacis V, has been the scene of low-intensity urban fighting between the expeditionary elements of the Subathi empire and the Terran heavy infantry. During a brief lull, a squad of heavy infantry was able to deploy a heavy anti-infantry cannon to cover a key approach used by the Subathi to move soldiers and material in and out of New Tupelov. Within days this strongpoint was responsible for the destruction of three reinforced platoons. Subathi expeditionary command quickly drew up plans for a coordinated assault against the strongpoint and the additional Terran squads presumed to be operating in the area. Shortly before twilight, Subathi pathfinders deployed into the slums to find and destroy their well-hidden enemy.Check out the full blog post here:
