Phase 2 sounds less like a game and more like a 'real' battle...
 |
| Overview of second move before shooting starts. Being a solo battle the swarms movements have to be determined by a set formula - in this case, nearest enemy to take priority. Hence the middle swarm heads for their left flank rather than into the city. Meanwhile the human forces are taking up positions to meet the various threats. |
 |
| Again, shooting priorities - shooting will concentrate on that front tank! |
 |
| Meanwhile the Martian right flank swarm charges headlong towards the city - but shorter ranged weapons mean they will be receiving fire without being able to return fire for this move. |
 |
| This time the missile barrage works, taking out 3 war machines. The tanks score a further 2 kills but...which ones the missiles kill is based on a dice roll - dice roll for every machine, lowest scores are the kills, in this case meant one war machine was killed twice! (ie, once by tank, once by missiles) |
 |
| Meanwhile, all the machines concentrate on one of the tanks and it 'dies' 3 times. A lot of the swarm shots 'missed'. 1 war machine is killed by the tanks and another is taken out by the tanks advancing down the road. |
So, interesting how the rules are working at the moment - basically, against swarms missile barrage best tactic, swarm tactic mechanism also seems to be working as planned. Looking promising.
