Well, here's the summary, and that's also the end of Round 1. With new rules, round 2 should flow a tad more swiftly, and we can get to the one-round-per-week ratio. Oh, I have almost forgot: My thanks goes to Andy_Panthro for making this readable
The events after an unknown force decimating Imperial forces on and around Mars gathered pace. The forces of the Imperium were surprised and defeated on all fronts, losing important territory to their enemies. Their armies are still strong in sheer numbers however, and mobilising fast. Guardsmen whisper tales of heroic deeds of their comrades on the battlefield, and are still enthusiastic to join the fight. What they do not know is the real fate of their brethren, and that the dark forces of the Necron armada have proceeded towards their unknown objective.
The Space Marines tried to cut off invading Ork force at it's roots, and failed as well. They were weak in numbers and green tide literally swallowed everything of the little army they have managed to assemble in such a short time. Greenskins have gained a foothold on Mars, and their attack will surely not stop at one territory.
The Eldar have silently approached Diemos, one of Mars' moons. Discovering an ancient human observatory, they have decided to use it to their advantage. However, the Eldar were not the first to arrive on Diemos. Chaos forces were hoarding on the moon, preparing themselves for the assault on one of the most important colonies the Empire has. Eldar forces came out of nowhere, overpowering chaos quickly. The Chaos lords have managed to escape however, and it's just a matter of time until they emerge elsewhere.
Necron are still almost an unknown presence on the surface of the Mars, and remain a mystery even to those who know about them. The Necron would never risk losing their forces over a meaningless dispute of other races, since it would jeopardise their ultimate goal.
And so, the battle continues, adding more blood to the endless war that is 41st millenium. This time, however, the results may change everything...
