The final turn....

Things are not good.

I ran my troops away, valiantly jigging the warper to avoid the expected hail of Sniper fire.

It wasn't the Warper that was the problem. The retreating sentry took a shot in the back in an area I thought was relatively safe. The score is now 20 - 21 to The Vimto Kid.

I have one last chance.

The retreating Warper saw that the left-hand sniper had advanced to take another shot at him. He is well within Warping distance and a shot at that range should finish him off. The question is, will he run away in order to save the lead, or will he press on closer in order to finish me off?

It all depends on where I place the final Warp, if I do it close and he runs, I lose. If I do it deep and he moves in I lose.

I think he's going to try to preserve the one point lead, so I'm placing it long. I'm jigging the path a little to try to catch him if he is retreating.

Let see what happens....

This is tense.....

I psyched the Commander, who had only moved out a space. The warp I sent his way finished him off!

However, I'm pinned down by the sniper on the left, who got a hit on one Psycher. That took him to 0 energy, and my warp finished it off!

The score is 20-19, I'm low on energy and have nowhere to hide.

I think I'm going to lose! I cannot afford another hit by a sniper, and I cannot afford to stand still long enough to get a warp off. I'm going to have to run away, with a bit of bobbing and weaving to avoid any incoming fire. This all started so well!

Current score 20 - 19.

Oh my!

My Guardian is a goner!

I managed to psych the medic, but not enough to kill him. The Commander moved in closer, taking him away from the worst of the Warp damage. My two Psychers are within range, but the Warper is in a dangerous position.

If I get out of this I think I'll just run away! The score is 17 each....
