Planet Fairhope, Alabama, United Systems Alliance

Image

Image
USA Officer: In the name of the President of the United Systems Alliance, we must secure that drive

Image
Trattorian Soldier: We must destroy the hard drive.

Image
Sigma Shard: Wheee fight! Also steal the hard drive and not release it just to mock the galactic intelligence community.

Image
Commander Borowitz: We must help the Immortals obtain the hard drive.

Image
Overwatch.

Overwatch with the hard drive circled.

USA

Image
The USA forces move up, sprinting to get closer to the nearest enemies. The red beret hero manages an impressive 16" sprint. They still remain out of range of the nearest adversaries, the TTSJs, however.

Immortals

Image
The Phalanxes sprint forward.

Image
Not to be outdone by General Banfull in the last battle, the Sigma Shard picks up the Immortal tank and flings it at the USA, crit-succeeding his feat.

Image
It lands near the USA hero, who bites the dust from the firepower of a tank. (also kudos to Scratch for getting a kill in on the first turn of a game as spread out as this)

Image
The Sigma Shard then sprints up.

TTSJs

Image
The TTSJs sprint up just out of range of the USA and set up response fire. Also the hero tries a feat to make cover for the troops, but fails.

The Trattorians sprint up, while the tank blows a size point off its Immortal counterpart.

USA

Image
The USA forces combine fire on the Immortal tank, knocking off another hit point.

Image
Unfortunately, both USA tank operators crit fail while firing the main cannon, causing an explosion in the gun breech/ammo rack. The resulting conflagration kills one of the gunners on the turret and damages the tank by a size point.

Immortals

Image
The Immortal tank fires on the USA tank and its missiles, to no avail.

Image
The Immortals sprint up.

Image
The Terrorkhan-led squad sprints an amazing 21 inches thanks to their discipline and hard training, and seize the hard drive.

Image
The Sigma Shard gets into a running start, preparing to throw his OTC halberd like a javelin.

Image
Straight through the Trattorian drone tank, knocking off a size point.

TTSJs

Image
The TTSJ infantry brave an out-of-range shot, and still manage to down 2 USA soldiers.

Image
Meanwhile, buffed by Commander Borowitz's inspirational quotes from the Talmud, the TTSJ tank manages to knock off 2 size points from the USA tank (3 HP remaining, now at half size).

All the Trattorians move up and fire on the Immortal tank, knocking off 3 more hit points (2 out of 7 remaining).

USA (Robot Monkey subbing from here on)

Image
The USA troops move up towards the hard drive, saving response fire for any infantry that come within range. The tank tries to get between the Trattorian and Immortal tanks, firing on the latter and causing a point of size damage. At this point the Immortal tank is on its last legs.

Immortals

Image
To the last, I grapple with thee; From Hell's heart, I stab at thee; For hate's sake, I spit my last breath at thee.

The beleaguered Immortal tank fires at the USA tank's missile rack again, hoping to combust it.

Image
Surprisingly, it works, resulting in a thundering explosion that shakes the USA tank and knocks off more size points (1 out of 6 remaining).

Image
The other Immortal units jockey into position. One Phalanx breaks off the Terrorkhan-led squad with the hard drive and runs back to join up with Warhead.

Image
The Sigma Shard attempts to recall his OTC halberd.

Image
However about halfway there he suffers a hernia from using the Force as the Pedi magik wreaks havoc on his undead body.

Image
The Phalanx squad demolishes 5 Trattorian drones.

TTSJs

Image
The TTSJ infantry fire on their USA counterparts, but the latter in turn saved their response fire, promising a bloody confrontation...

Image
Eleven minifigs go down in the ensuing firefight, including all the TTSJ minifigs and five of the USA troops.

Image
The BrikVerse is a bloody place.

Image
A full blast from the TTSJ tank finally reduces the USA tank to rubble, resulting in the first tank kill of the game.

Trattoria

Image
The Trattorian drone tank finally brings down the Immortal tank with its main gun, while the troops fail to break through the Immortal phalanx wall.
