The continuing battle

Trouble with covering 3 moves is that things start getting complicated. So, mostly letting the pictures tell the story.
Overview as left two swarms continue their advance. Both swarms kept 'passing' morale tests and wouldn't stop.

Right flank swarm did retreat back to their saucer after getting hammered.

More from the Martian left flank...



Tanks passing burning war machines


Another overview picture as things get serious.

Starting to form a new line.


This bit caught me out a bit - hadn't sorted rules for taking out saucers. Finally decided on 5 or 6 to hit, but with 3 or more saving throw when it tried to take off - it survived and eventually left.

Getting very close up and personal. The battle certainly finished up at close quarters - which tends to favour the swarms.

Last of the Martians finally die (apart from the one that ran...)

Casualty list. Actually one too many tanks here - an intact vehicle was put in the photo by mistake! More human casualties then I would normally expect - dice rolls and the effect of starting in quite close so that the Martians didn't take as many casualties while out of range. All three saucers got away safely though one was damaged.
