Turn 7 - Humans gain initiative. Two more aircraft arrive. The infantry move forward hoping to score hits with stove pipe rockets. No damage. In the east - the Memphis Belles destroy one more drone. The mortars focus on the second group of drones and a lucky barrage destroys four drones. The aircraft and heavier guns just score a single damage point. Martian Turn 7 - The last gun battery is destroyed and the remainder of the National Guard tanks route after taking casualties. The Memphis Belles take a casualty from a drone attack. The heavy mortars now draw attention and lose two teams to drone and tripod fire. The motorized infantry begin to begin to take casualties. Turn 8 - The Martian win initiative and quickly use command token to double time tripods to exit the board while over running routed vehicles. The last of the militia teams are destroyed, The first tripod of Battle Group 32-14 negotiates the river crossing. Two more machines exit in the west. The controller and drone close in on the infantry. Martian Victory Points - Destroyed Artillery - 660 points Exited Machines - 1400 points Total 2060 points (out of 3030) - 68% Human Turn 8. The Infantry command team rallies the routed machine gun truck. The controller machine, already damaged, was making a break for the board edge but is gunned down by multiple machine gun and stove pipe rocket hits.

Turn 9 - Martian wins initiative. Another reinforcement machine arrives at the river. A tripod is double timed and then exits the field. 200 more victory points achieved - 74.5% of total points. Human Turn 9 - In the East. only the Memphis police patrols are in the way of the ultimate Martian victory. Lead by the Memphis Belles and a civilian patrol, the defenders on the west side stream past the wrecked Martian machine in the hope of blocking the east side. The remainder of the drones are easily dispatched. Turn 10 - The humans win initiative. The police and civilians assault the drones in the street - incredibly none have blown themselves up! The controller tripod takes more damage from aircraft and the machinegun trucks coming from the west side. Aircraft north of here strafe arriving machines but no damage. Martian turn 10. The controller is unable to double move due to wreckage and presence of the defense teams and will have to batter its way through. Two civilian teams fall to drone assault. By a minor miracle all thee teams of the other civilian patrol dodge the heat ray sweep. The remainder of the Martian reinforcements arrive . But will they matter? The Martians are having no luck at all hitting the aircraft. Turn 11. The Martian player expends a command token to extend the game and wins the roll-off. However, the human player wins initiative. The Memphis Belles lead the counter attack through the Civil War Memorial Park stripping away more drones. One civilian team is lost to its own explosives. Machinegun and stove pipe rockets further damage the controller but remains standing with 5 total hull hits. Despite Martian anti-air efforts, the same aircraft continue to make a nuisance of themselves and manage to inflict mobility damage with their . 50 caliber machineguns. Martian Turn 11 - Though damaged and trailing smoke the still capable controller tripod uses the last command token to double time and leaves the battlefield. This gives the Martian player another 75 victory points ( 150 divided by 2 - after turn 10). This is 77% of the force total giving a major victory to the invaders. The human commander gives the order to fall back. Game over.
