Durgama Takeover

One of the very best things about N4 is that I can no longer lose half my order pool in deployment as my Netrods inevitably skitter off the board! However, that doesn't stop them from being menaced by my bane, the Yuan Yuans. Although I lost, Achilles gained wonderful vengeance for all those broken inanimate antennae cruelly smashed by Yuan Yuans in the past.

Because we were playing Domination as we realised that both our armies would be real lousy at Rescue. During this, Achilles was scooting over to the side to control a quadrant over there - it's awfully hard to stop him from doing so!

The next turn started with thepoorman in Loss of Lieutenant, which would surely give me a decisive advantage, even with one-third of my forces gone.

The Sekban moved up the side, after their doctor got the lieutenant back on his feet, an excellent reminder that if you don't kill a Haqqislam soldier outright they'll be back next turn.

Achilles, meanwhile, was a little wee titch cross about how things were going behind him and figured he ought to head back to work things out properly.

Unfortunately, thepoorman cottoned on to what I was trying to do and instead hanged way back and opened fire. Thus shot off the board, there was little I could do to actually dominate anything - but the IMPORTANT thing was that Achilles totally exploded that Yuan Yuan with his sword.
