The Fifth Great Azurian Pretzel War - Turn Two
Posted: Sat May 09, 2015 12:02 pm
Skylink Commandos:

The Medik comes around to where Captain Skylink's flaming corpse sits at the verge of the fire, and makes a Ker-Triage!

"Seriously, man?"
"Sorry, sir."
"You are so fired."

Encouraged by its success the previous turn, the battle trike opens with another massive blast.

Unfortunately, the fire-breathing reptile rolls exceedingly low for armor, and loses the last three points of its health before collapsing.

The rest of the Commandos advance. While the chainsaw marines don't get into range of combat, the gunner takes out Xera with a critical success.
The Dragonblood Coalition:

The only two Dragonblood units remaining - Sir Fungal and Sir Mange - move up towards the mountain, taking out the murderous Dungan and a Blade Beetle.
Hillbillies:

The Gun Enthusiast and Paw open fire on the Blue Heliad soldiers. While Paw's attack is largely ineffective, the Gun Enthusiast puts an end to the fumbling chainsaw marine who tripped the turn before.

After which they both dash for Grandpa's Truck.

In a flash of inspiration, Grandpa wheels his truck around, running over the body of the Knife Enthusiast as he backs up to the ancient stone tower.

Maw carefully climbs up the Catapult..

And retrieves the Pretzel. Hillbillies have the Pretzel!
Blue Heliad Sciences Corporation:

A soldier opens fire on Maw with his laser cannon, but misses her by a mile.

The MW-1 Daedalus, however, first opens fire with a Size 2 Machinegun arc, blasting Paw, the Gun Enthusiast, and the encroaching Blade Beetle in a single round, before it starts towards Grandpa's Truck...

And opens fire with the Lasercannon, tearing apart the windshield and Grandpa inside.
Wildlife:

The Browngoat opens fire on the last remaining Blue Heliad soldier, but misses. However, the Orc Archer is a bit more lucky, killing the trooper.

One of the Orc Ninjas attacks Captain Lance Silversun, dealing no significant damage but locking him in Close Combat.

The other one dashes towards Sir Mange, but is unable to get far enough to attack him.
Overviews:


Maw is the only Hillbilly left at this point, though the catapult and missile launcher on top of Grandpa's Truck are still in excellent working condition.

Lance Silversun and the Daedalus are likewise the only Blue Heliad units left on the board.

Sir Fungal and Sir Mange are all who remain to carry out the will of the Dragonblood.

And while the Skylink Commandos have the most troops left on the board, they're not only still the furthest from the Pretzel, but the fire has begun to spread, moving away from Captain Skylink and up towards the battle trike, consuming the other wheel.
