In Summary

This is another game that I came very close to time on. So, here is the rest of the game in one lump update.

My attack on his two AI's went pretty well. I moved a lot of troops into position and let loose with a giant volley of shots. I managed to inflict a lot of damage before he withdrew an AI into the side room, and move the other back slightly so I couldnt attack from the side. However, I was still able to attack from the front! I managed to dish out a lot of damage to that one too before it trundlled out of view round the back. I was hoping that if I took it out then the two XT's near it would also go up. no such luck though.

He used those XT's to cover the retreating AI, which meant I had lots of shots at them, blasting them all to bits. Hurrah! I also had my AI healing all my troops so I was faring pretty well. With the two AI's heavily damaged I was in a good winning position

However, while I was busy firing at the AI's Rad snuck a Hunter round the back and took out my HQ! A lot of my troops ar elow on ammo, so that really hurt. At the same time I pushed two XT's into the bottom left room to fire at the healing AI's through the gap in the crates they had made earlier.

The hunter got away, and the AI's rumbled away further but one of the health bars was full read, so a single hit should do it. I had also chased down his two Scanners who were damaged to breaking point, so I was soon to be well ahead on points.

However, this is where it all goes wrong. I ran out of time!!!

Its so disappointing, as I think I was in a good winning position. I only have myself to blame though, as I had taken on too many games to be able to finish them all in the time I gave myself.

Final game score was 11 - 9 to me, but the Specialist League rules give him an extra 5 points for me timing out... :(
