I choose corner deployment playing from the bottom right. My blitz can be seen at the bottom of this picture and my first T&H at the top right, Ork blitz is behind the Gargant and the two T&H can be seen left and right of the two rock formations.

I deployed Warhounds in the corners of my deployment zone and Tacticals and Predators more centered. Scouts on overwatch are garrisoned in the ruins in front of my Supreme Commander
The other scout formation was garrisoned in a wood to the left of my deployment zone. The Orks deployed Gargant, Stompas and the mechanized Mob as close to the Marines as possible with Bikes and Storm Boyz and Flak next to them. The Big Gunz are garrisoned on overwatch in front of the Ork deployment zone. The second Marine T&H can be seen on the far side of the bridge.

Marines win initiative and decides to put some blast markers on the Orks before they can activate.

SM1: Marauders activate and drops some bombs on the Gargant, clipping the transported Mob with the second template. One dead orc and some power fields removed from the Gargant.
O1: The orcs stall by placing a Big Gunz unit on overwatch, they fail and removes BMs.
SM2: Thunderbolts hands out more blast markers, this time to the Stormboyz, killing one.
O2: The second Big Gunz mob also fails an overwatch and removes BMs.
SM3: The Scouts on the left doubles and places a BM on the Bikes on the other side of the river.
O3: The Stormboyz marshal removing all BMs.
SM4: Not a single Orc unit has moved yet and the Space Marines now have to make the first move... The Tacticals move over to the forest where the Scouts used to be. I wanted to threaten the left side of the battlefield so that the Orcs would have to split up or let me advance unchallenged.
O4: The Fightas ground attack the Scouts on the far left killing a Scout and a Rhino.
SM5: The Supreme Commander orders his marines to move towards the Orks, taking cover in the big forest.
O5: The Flak Blitz tries to go on overwatch, fails and regroups.
SM6: A Warhound doubles up behind the large forest and kills one Boy and a Battle Wagon from the Mechanized Mob.
O6: The Mechanized Mob doubles towards the Warhound and takes out both shields and one DC, nearly breaking the Warhound.

SM7: The Assault Marines sees a chance to bring down one of the major threats in the Mechanized Mob and orders an Air Assault. With support from the Warhound they win the combat and wipe out the Orks. The marines loose one unit from each formation. They consolidate back towards the Thunderhawk for cover.

O7: The Gargant decides to revenge his fallen comrades, doubles towards the Thunderhawk and puts some macro barrage hurt on the marines. He kills the Thunderhawk and breaks the Assault Captains formation (missing pic).
SM8: The Predators moves up the center hiding behind the rocks.

O8: The Stompas follows the Gargant towards the remaining assault marines. The break the remaining Assault formation and also manages to clip the Warhound with a template. The Warhound also breaks. I'm missing a good picture from this, but the pic below shows the Gargand and Stompas moving towards the action...

SM9: The second Warhound doubles up the center and kills 3 Big Gunz, breaking the formation. At this point the marines are out of activations while the Orks have Bikes and the Landa left...

O9: The Landa mob engages the Scouts on the left flank. The Scouts are wiped out but manage to kill a few Orks including the Dreadnought.

O10: The Bikes fail to activate and moves.
End of turn 1: The Warhound rallies with the help of the Supreme Commander and the Assault Chaplain fails to rally. On the Ork side the Big Gunz fail to rally.

 

Turn 2


O1: Orcs win initiative and the Bikes tries to engage the Warhound. They fail and removes BMs.
SM1: The Tacticals doubles towards the Landa Mob and kills a Boy, placing 2 BMs. At this point I made a major mistake, I was sure that the nearby Warhound was in engagement range but no... I handed the initiative over to the Orks hoping the Tacticals could handle the somewhat damaged Mob.

O2: The Landa Mob engages and after much bloodshed the Orks are wiped out and four marine units are killed.
SM2: Marauders ground attack the Stompas, killing one. They also clip the nearby Big Gunz, killing two and breaking them.

O3: The Fighta Squadron hits the Tacticals on the left, only placing a BM.
SM3: The Thunderbolts repeat their attack run on the Stormboyz. This time all of the Orcs survive.
O4: The Stompas doubles towards the Supreme Commander and kills one marine and one Rhino with their macro templates.
SM4: The Supreme doesn't like being covered by macro barrage templates and decides it's time to spread out. They advcance and with some very lucky shooting manage to kill two Stompas, breaking the formation.

O5: The Gargant doubles towards the Supreme, but manages to miss everything...

SM6: A lone assault marine moves into the center forest to prevent the broken Super Stompa from rallying.
O7: The Stormboyz doubles into the center forest and the Death Koptas places a BM on the Predators.


SM6: The Warhound in the center sustains fire on the Bikes, killing three.
O7: Flak Blitz doubles behind the forest to catch the Marauders when they disengage.
SM7: The second Warhound finishes what his friend started, killing one bike breaking the formation. This also conveniently takes him into support range of the Stormboyz.

O8: The Landa fails to ground attack.
SM8: The remaining Scout formation engages the Stormboys, clipping the Death Koptas. Only three of them are in range but this is enough to win the combat and only three Stormboys escape. Unfortunately the assault marine was dragged into the combat and killed.

SM9: The Predators doubles towards the Ork Blitz to prevent the Orks from rallying. They place a BM on the Flak.
End of Turn 2: Marines manages to rally the broken Assault Chaplain. On the Ork side only a single Big Gunz Mob manages to rally...

 

Turn 3

Things are looking bad for the Orks. They only have the Gargant, Flak and one Big Gunz mob unbroken on the ground...

SM1: Space Marines wins initiative and the Predators advances to grab the Blitz and wipes out the Flak Wagons.
O1: The Gargant marches back to contest.

SM2: The Tacticals on the left doubles to defend a T&H objective.
O2: The Fightas tries to break them but the Rhinos deflect their rockets.
SM3: Marauders stands down.
O3: The Big Gunz doubles to protect a T&H. They are later broken by a Warhound and the marines takes control of the objective. At this point only the Landa remains for the Orks.

SM4: The rallied Assault Chaplain moves to defend the Space Marine Blitz.
O4: The Landa lands next to the SM Blitz to contest, and kills the lone Assault Marine.
SM: The remaining Space Marine forces manages to break the Landa, and grab the remaining objectives.
End of Turn 3: Space marines win by 3-0 (Take and Hold, Defend the Flag & They Shall Not Pass).
