Lander's hope

 With the shift of the war displaced to Maerdan itself the loyalists launched an attack on the central Agrology in order to gain the central position and strike freely against the traitors. Both legios clashed in the small farming comunity of Lander's Hope.

 The loyalists got the rescue the crew (red marker) objective while the traitors had to extract a cargo by the opposing board edge

 The crew waiting to be rescued

 Imperius Galgamech rushes to the rescue

 The traitors failed their shield saves with apalling rolls

 A lone warlord speds into the Legio Metalica zone, is the cargo inside?

 Another Mortis retreats backwards, a devious tactic?

 The crew is safely aboard

 Princeps Seniores Pentecost calls for a nuclear missile from the nearby moon, but it falls far from target and straight into Galgamech, the shields hold however

Anticipating the Mortis engine's move, both warlords aim to the place where she will be

Imperius Quintus charges an enemy engine

While Galgamech flees with the crew

Imperius Damnatio destroys her target aiming at the weak rear armur

The titan stumbles and falls

Quintus and Manus Mortis trade shots and swipes, ending with their torsos crippled

Now all Metalica engines turn to aim at the left flank

Galgamech secures the crew

The Mortis titan with the cargo nears the exit, all Metalicas fire and almost bring her down

The cargo is secured

Another titan gets into the deployment zone

Manus Mortis is destroyed by Imperius Quintus during the last combat phase

With the 6th turn over we count up VP and the imperials win 28 to 25, a close run thing!
