I took some pictures as of the battles current state but forgot to upload them. Will do so soon

Also I think enough units have died that it will be manageable to turn it back into a chat battle.

I'm only on the other discord though so pm me for instructions on how to get there

Some pics from recent turn for Attackers, played by Colette.
-Rakushka tank rammed into the Magikstrate Chimera, reducing Chimera to 1 Size and the Rakushka to 3
- Some light machine-gunning and gunfire in the woods killed some M-Perial troops
- Galacian ground troops doubled down on the push to secure the woods

It doesn't really matter if this is called a battle report or forum battle. This looks amazing! :tiger:

So it's been forever. And there was action that was not recorded, since I attempted to do livestreams and some other stuff. Not a lot has really changed, just more minifigs dying. we're resuming on the Peach Insurgent's turn



Image20180315_213640 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr

Insurgents shoot at ISA troops in close quarters, they exchange fire

Another rushes in and they shoot at each other

Image20180315_213915 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr

The Peaches get the better of him, too

Image20180315_214113 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr

Hours of bitter fighting later

Artimec: how did it come to this?.. .
Image20180331_163700 by Dic Jacobus, on Flickr
