[Horus Heresy] Game 3! Traitor Spaceport Victory!

Mr. Mojo Risin

So i can bury the imperial order and play the drop pod but not the port landing? Or can I still play the port landing as well?

Farangu

You have two points to play before it is the Imperium's turn again. So you can bury the order, and play one of the others.

Mr. Mojo Risin

ok we will bury the order and play the port landing at the space port damocles and skip the drop pod then

Farangu

As the Traitors descend, the one defense laser in the Black Ministry opens fire. Imperium, state your order of attack and make your Bombardment draws.

SeGaTai

Will go with order posted:

TS Marine

Mr. Mojo Risin

Traitors choose to go second

SeGaTai

Iteration 1: Play 1 – Know No Fear – 1 shield – Space Marines: The next 2 times during this battle when a friendly Space Marine unit would be eliminated due to regular dmg, you may instead place it in an adjacent friendly or neutral area with 2 points of dmg.

1 damage and using the special effect

SeGaTai

Place 3 damage

Mr. Mojo Risin

SeGaTai

Bury "mystery" traitor order in volcanus region.(1)

Place order in Imperial Plateau region(1)

Mr. Mojo Risin

hahaha yeah thats some mystery

SeGaTai

Also space port damocles should have an activation marker I believe. Also you should keep track of which cultists were placed there in someway as it will effect combat cards.

Last thing, is it 4 or 5 damage for a primarch to be considered wounded?

Mr. Mojo Risin

Damocles was cleared during the refresh I think, the special phases happen after change of initiative if I read that right. And I believe its the 6th damage that moves a primarch into the wounded category

SeGaTai

Ah right, clever timing.

Mr. Mojo Risin

Not quite as clever as i had hoped

Farangu

It is 6 damage to wound a Primarch.

Event Phase - Vicissitudes of Chaos - Imperial Player chooses up to 6 ranks worth of Chaos units (But not Heroes) in the same area and moves them to 1 adjacent area that does not contain any Imperial Units. The Imperial player cannot cause a stacking limit violation as a result of the movement of these units.

The Traitor player may have any Heroes in the origin area move with the chosen units. He may wait to decide whether to move the Heroes until the Imperial player has finished moving all of the units.

Up to Segatai to move the units, Chaos to move Heroes along with(if they so desire), then Chaos' initiative. Initiative and Strategic maps updated, will update battle map after Event movements.

SeGaTai

Move the Death Guard SM and warband from the Eternity Space Port to 8

Farangu

Will Mortarion be joining them, Traitors?

Farangu

Also is icerimp still in this? Don't think I've seen him post in here for a few days.

Mr. Mojo Risin

Yeah we have been discussing stuff in pms but I ve been doing most of the orders

Mr. Mojo Risin

Mortarion will join the deathguard in 8

Farangu

Maps updated. Chaos' initiative.

Mr. Mojo Risin

Play 1 card to the imperial plateau region on the strategic map and use drop pods from the crucible region strategic map to place 2 deathguard space marines and 1 thunderhawk flight in 8

Farangu

Order Phase - Each player may discard any number of orders from their hand, then draw from their reserve pile up to 6 orders. Players may then draw new orders, to a hand total of 6.

Imperial's initiative.

EDIT: Maps updated.

SeGaTai

Discard Build Tanks(2), Drawing 4 orders

SeGaTai

2 things: Thunderhawk should be aligned. Focus Fire doesn't activate any regions according to the order card. The fortress of Truth may still be activated due to bringing KHAN into the battle according to flying rules. This is based of reading the rules summary not the actual rule book so wasn't sure how that worked out. Moving forward.

Play Counterattack from hand

Attacking Eternity Space wall from A
4 Iterations:
Attacker:5 cards + 2 hero cards
Defender:2 cards

SeGaTai

Accidentally drew an extra hero card because due to impatience and bad connection. I can save it in my hand for the next fight w/ a hero though I'll know what it is or discard it, which does let me cycle the deck faster. Will go along with whatever you guys feel is better. Also Traitors to decide on active or passive.

Farangu

I leave that choice up to Mojo.

Mr. Mojo Risin

Nurgle thunderhawk, drew 2 cards, drew combat cards 1st iteration is yours.

SeGaTai

Other option for extra hero card is I hold on to for next combat and just make it public knowledge-that option seems like the least damaging.

Play 2 – Diversionary Tactics – 2 shields – Attacking Unit: Move your opponent's init marker forward 1 space. [5 shields counter]

Let me know if your sick of that one yet.

Farangu

*Ahem* Chaos?

Icerimp

Shield 2.

Edit: Made a mistake. There was a card that was supposed to just be set aside/buried that I played. Not going to play anything for the second iteration, then.

SeGaTai

Sounds good. Iteration 3:
Play 3 damage+3 damage+1 damage

7 damage plus using ability of seek,strike, secure to remove activation marker from TA

3 – Seek, Strike, Secure – Space Marines: You may either remove your normal activation marker from the target area, or flip your activation marker in the target area to its normal side.
