He can run on over to Jhantai's crew (14)

stever777 · February 2013

Block with ...

1 – Terrifying – 2 shields – Daemon Horde: 3 opposing units of your choice whose rank is less than this Daemon Horde's rank are routed.

1 penetrates.

Respond with ...

1 – Rain of Death – Chaos Thunderhawk Flight: Resolve a Thunderhawk bombardment. [3 shields counter]

1 damage to you & I'm out of cards.

caliber · February 2013

I'm out as well, but my fortifications should protect me from that final 1.

For my penetration let's blow away that silly cultist. I'm tired of his summoning ways.

stever777 · February 2013

Well, that was not as overwhelming as I had hoped.

caliber · February 2013

I felt pretty overwhelmed! It's not often you can say you managed to run off a space marine. :P

caliber · February 2013

Hmm. Does that make it my turn? How many actions do I have?

Farangu · February 2013

Sorry for the delay. I got back last night but was really quite sick.

Mortarion is indeed wounded, and now only draws 1 hero card in future combats. Also, multiple phases were reached by Chaos.

Event - Titans Stride the Earth: The current player may immediately move 1 of his heroes and any friendly units in the same area as the Hero up to their regular movement to an area adjacent to an area containing at least 1 enemy hero. The forces in those 2 areas then fight 6 iterations of combat. (The current player is considered the attacker)

Orders - Discard any orders from your hand in here, then announce how many you're drawing. Quick clarification: Cards on the Strategic Map do not count towards your hand limit.

stever777 · February 2013

No discards.
4 draws.

caliber · February 2013

No discards, draw all of them. The striding titans are chaos titans, aren't they?

Farangu · February 2013

No, it's a reference to the Primarchs.

Farangu · February 2013

Orders sent.

Imperium's initiative, with an effective 4 time.

Actually, I was asking whether or not the "Titans Stride the Earth" event applied to me or stever. I think stever right? So @stever777 to march your titans across my lands?

stever777 · February 2013

Hmm.
Says, "The current player".
That's you, right?

caliber · February 2013

Maybe! It's why I asked. :P

Farangu · February 2013

Since Chaos was the first marker to pass the phase space, it applies to him. Reminder: Imperium still has the "Sky Fortress Rises" card at their disposal.

stever777 · February 2013

I have no idea what "Sky Fortress Rises" is.
NM.
Got it.

All in SP Damocles to Area 17, via Bastion Eternal, fighting Area 18.

Farangu · February 2013

Magnus on the move!

His ability activates. Reckless or precise, Chaos?

stever777 · February 2013

Reckless

Farangu · February 2013

Last two cards in the bombard deck drawn.

Farangu · February 2013

Waiting on Chaos to decide which card is applied. @stever777 @Cerberus

Farangu · February 2013

Chaos successfully bombards the area for 5 damage. Allocate as desired, Chaos, then battle will begin.

stever777 · February 2013

Wipe the Blood Angel & hit the Titan with 2.

caliber · February 2013

Holy Emporer, that's a lot of damage! :shock:

As an aside, could the forces at the SP move that far? I thought the ravine would prevent them from getting to 17 (although they could make it to 26 and still attack from there ...)

stever777 · February 2013

Hmm.
I think you're right, in which case I will move to 26.

E - Was hoping I could skip over it from the Bastion.

Farangu · February 2013

Chaos's move was legal. Space Marines have 3 movement, and he went into the Bastion Eternal, and went from there to 17, which bypassed the crevasse.

Cards incoming.

Farangu · February 2013

Cards sent.

Imperium to decide first active.

caliber · February 2013

Fair enough! I'll take first activation. By which, of course, I mean I'm getting the hell out of here.

3 – Strategic Withdrawal – 1 shield – Defending Unit: Move all of your units and Heroes in the target area to an adjacent friendly or neutral area. Activate the area, then the battle ends. This is considered neither a rout nor a retreat. [5 shields counter]

3 damage to you, plus 5 more shields needed to keep me from running away to fight another day!

stever777 · February 2013

Stand & fight, you chickens!

Block with ...

1 – Driven Before the Storm – 3 shields – Attacking Unit: 2 opposing units of your choice whose rank is less than this unit's rank ore routed.
1 – Will of Chaos – 1 shield – Chaos 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.
3 – Breach – 2 shields - +Titan Attacking a Fort – Breach the fortification between an attacking Titan and the target area.
2 – Compelled by Dark Gods – 1 shield – Hero: Move 1 friendly unit from any area adjacent to this Hero into this Hero's area. The unit may move from an area with a normal or routed activation marker. Then draw combat cards equal to half the unit's rank, rounded up. The unit is considered to be engaged in the battle.

All but 1 blocked & you aren't leaving.

Respond with ...

2 – Diversionary Tactics – 2 shields – Hero: Move your opponent's init marker forward 1 space. [5 shields counter]
4 – Overwhelming Force – Unit Attacking a Fort: Breach the fort between the attacking unit and target area. [5 shields counter]

6 damage to you.

caliber · February 2013

No one accuses the Emperor's holy warriors of being chickens! And anyway, these wings aren't really chicken-like at all ...

Ding one of your marines for the 1 that go through.

Block with ...

1 – Angels of Death – 2 shields – Space Marines: Eliminate 1 opposing unit regardless of its rank. [5 shields counter]
1 – To Me! - 3 shields – Hero: Move 1 friendly unit from any area adjacent to this Hero into this Hero's area. The unit may move from an area with a normal or routed activation marker. Then draw combat cards equal to half the unit's rank, rounded up. The unit is considered to be engaged in the battle.

1 point penetrates.

Respond with ...

1 – Lead by Example – 2 shields – Hero: Draw 1 combat card. Then inflict 2 dmg to 1 opposing Hero.

1 damage to you, 1 card to me, then 2 more damage to Magnus.

stever777 · February 2013

Hit Titan with the 1.

No blocking cards.

Respond with ...

1 – Rain of Death – Chaos Thunderhawk Flight: Resolve a Thunderhawk bombardment. [3 shields counter]

1 damage to you.

Outta cards.

caliber · February 2013

Plink plink goes my titan's arm cannon against your chaos marines. Another point to the same guy I just damaged.

I'm waiting on my card draw to respond to your response, but am otherwise out.

caliber · February 2013

Alright, we'll hunker down and finish off that chaos marine.

1 - Hunker Down - +Defending unit: Immediately draw two combat cards.

Unfortunately I don't think I'll get another round to use those last two cards.

Farangu · February 2013

You won't, so I'm not going to deal them.

Now it would be the Imperiums turn, but unfortunately I'm not at my computer and won't be until tomorrow afternoon, and I can't figure out how much time he has until then.

caliber · February 2013

Honestly I'm not sure either ... 3, maybe? I'll wait for confirmation.

Farangu · February 2013

Maps updated. Imperium does have 3 time.

caliber · February 2013

Play Onslought from strategic stack at Plateau.

Onslaught (3) - Attack a target area in this region from any number of adjacent origin areas. Fight 8 iterations. Before drawing cards at the start of battle, look at the top 3 cards of your combat deck and place each card on the top or bottom of the deck in any order. Activate the target area and each origin area.

Attacking from 14, a, and b.

Then from hand:

Build Tanks (2) Place up to 2 Imperial Tank Divisions from your stockpile in a friendly or neutral factory area in this region.

to Volcanus with two tanks showing at up at the factory complex.

Farangu · February 2013

Preview sent to Imperium.

caliber · February 2013

So I think you decide who is active first @stever777, since I'm the attacker. Prepare yourself for the Onslought!

stever777 · February 2013

Up first.

1 – Noose of Ruin – 2 shields – Chaos Space Marines: Eliminate 1 opposing unit regardless of its rank. [5 shields counter]

caliber · February 2013

Hmm, question. Two of the three areas I'm attacking from are fortified, and as such are immune to the 1 point of damage. Can I just claim fortification for that purpose or do I need to block because of Jhangtai and the marines hanging out at 14?
