Another round of Bolt(er) action

On a trip back home I manged to get a game of bolt(er) action (40K setting with bolt actions rules underneath).  The mission was based on Skirmish Campaign's defiant confrontation mission.  The setting is a platoon of imperial Guard arrive at a habitat intent on securing area and denying to the rebels. While the Rebels are trying to prevent the imperials from gaining a foothold.
