[Horus Heresy] Game 3! Traitor Spaceport Victory!

Icerimp

Oh, sorry. I didn't see it as corrupted on the map. I forgot I took it. Hit the armor instead.

Icerimp

I feel a bit bad calling all of these since Mojo is out for the weekend.

What the fuck kind of Chaos player are you?

CRUSH THEM BENEATH YOUR BOOTS

Icerimp

The chaos gods demand committees and presentations before any action is taken!

Farangu

Toxin has a point. Blunt, but still a point.

Icerimp

1 card in each of Crucible, Volcanus, Imperial Plateau, and Black Ministry regions.

Farangu

The Sigillite hurried his pace towards the palace. The maddening of his armies, the blasting of his lands; surely this must spur The Emperor of All Mankind out of his lull. But as the Sigillite approached the doors, the Custodes would not open them to him. Falling to his knees, he cried out. "My Lord! Please, you must take charge of your forces! The usurper's forces draw near!"

And yet, the Emperor did nothing. The shock of experiencing his Horus, whom he loved as a son, whom he rose to the status of Warmaster, wound him so like this threw his mighty mind into disarray. He could not believe what he saw, and yet he knew that there would come a time to rectify this. And so he waited, on his throne of gold.

He waited, while hellfire rained down...

And now, the game itself begins. Both teams draw six order cards to form a hand. The Traitor team goes first.

Icerimp

Can I immediately use one of the starting strategic cards? Or do I need to wait an initiative cycle?

Farangu

You can immediately use one of the four cards you put down. From now on, whenever you place a card on the strategic map, you must wait until an initiative change to use it.

Icerimp

Execute strategic Port Landing in Volcanus region. Land 1 Khorne Titan (the one at Eternity Wall is a Nurgle Titan, I believe), 2 World Eaters at Space Port Primus.

Farangu

Please type the name of the card out when you play them. Also list out where the troops are going.

Farangu

Since there is a defense laser adjacent to the landing zone, the Imperial team get some free shots at the landing troops. Awaiting their bombardment draws.

SeGaTai

Drawing 3 bombardment cards
1.Titan
2.World Eater
3.World Eater

SeGaTai

2B/No/1/H/H/H/H Star
3B/No/1/M/M/H/H Eagle
2/6B/2/M/H/H/H Star

I believe I just messed up your Titan

Icerimp

He was the greatest mind of our generation!

SeGaTai

Trying to remember how reserve orders worked and how we should handle them with handtracker-didn't use them last time. Do the recyclable orders start in reserve or only after we have drawn them during the course of the game? Suppose if add one to our hand its up to us to keep track of.

Farangu

Orders that have the Recyclable icon, when played, go to the reserve stack instead of being discarded. Teams have the option of filling their hand with reserve cards each Order Phase.

My recommendation would be to make note of each recyclable card you play in your spreadsheet, that way when order phases come, you have a list of cards you can draw back in. Map update and such to come in a few.

Farangu

The marines were shaken by the brilliant nova that, moments before, was their pledged support from the Mechanicus converts on Mars. But before long, a sight appeared that restored their faith: Angron, drawn up to his full height, addressing his men.

"Come, brothers! The corpse-god has done us a favor! The destruction of our Titan has only given more blood for us to spill! LET US TAKE OUR SHARE!"

There are now a few co-existence battles to be fought. Traitors, select an area to resolve first.

Mr. Mojo Risin

Im back looks like a decent start so far

Farangu

Also, folks may feel free to add their own creative embellishments, if they so choose.

Icerimp

Lets go with 14 first. We may win that one!

Farangu

Brief refresher for teams: Draw combat cards equal to the total ranks of your units in the area, divided in half, rounded up. ex. 7 ranks = 3.5 > 4 cards drawn. If a hero is present in the region, draw two hero cards. Then combat iterations begin. In co-existence battles, like this one, the Traitor is always the defender, and chooses who goes first in combat. 8 iterations are fought for co-existence battles.

Traitor: 2 cards
Empire: 1 card

Traitor is the defender, and chooses who is active.

Mr. Mojo Risin

Alright we will take the first active iteration.

Farangu

Each iteration you may only play as many cards as the current iteration number. Each iteration you also only benefit from the effects of one card, and discard cards with shields to block damage, although once again, you can only discard as many cards as the current iteration number. Cards discard to block effects do not have this restriction.

Since we are playing with a new house rule, in co-existence battles, any player may retreat after the first iteration. Please link all cards played.

Chaos to play the first card.

Mr. Mojo Risin

We play the Heroic combat card for 2 damage and no effects

Farangu

In the interest of saving time, I'll let you guys keep the battles going back and forth between you until they end. Also, if there are any effects on the cards that would apply, please list them next to the link, along with the damage done.

SeGaTai

Counter with Angels of death for 2 shields

No cards remaining for round 2, play your last card.

Icerimp

Playing Noose of Ruin for 1 damage.

SeGaTai

One damage on the tank, name next battle zone

Mr. Mojo Risin

Space port Damocles is up next I believe

Farangu

Traitors get 1 card, imperials get 2. Traitors still get to decide who is active the first iteration.

Mr. Mojo Risin

We will take the first active Iteration

Mr. Mojo Risin

Playing Terrifying for 1 damage

SeGaTai

Counter with 2 shields
Play Hunker down for one damage, eliminating 1 Traitor infantry

no more cards

Farangu

Easter festivities call, so updates will resume later tonight.

Farangu

Map is up to date. It is now the Imperial Turn.

Mr. Mojo Risin

Shouldnt the imperial armor in 14 be destroyed? one damage from the bombardment and one from the combat or did i miss something?

Farangu

Good eyes. Fixing now.

Farangu

*ahem* Still the Imperial turn.

SeGaTai

blahmcblah has been away the last couple days it seems, figure I'd give him a day past easter weekend before going ahead
