1 June 1914
Two days after the fall of Memphis , the Martians immediately sent out probing forces east of the city with axis of advance along the roads fanning out into western Tennessee. One Martian excursion headed due east along a minor road towards the town of Moscow. Just a few miles outside of Moscow the US Army was waiting in the second line of defense.
US Army. - ( 1600+ points - 8 orders tokens)
Mission - maintain the integrity of the barricade. While the loss of Memphis was tragic but not unforeseen. By no means is the great Mississippi defense line unhinged. You must defend the second defensive belt which is no less impressive than the defenses of Memphis. Moscow is a marshaling area for the planned counterattack and you must protect this logistics hub and the crossings over the Wolf River behind you.
Decisive Win - No breach and Martian force retreats
Minor Win - Barricade breached but Martian force retreats before exiting east edge
Draw - Barricade breached, US Army not broken but only one functional (no critical hits) Martian machine exits before Martian withdrawal
Minor loss - Barricade breached, US Army not broken but Martian exits more than one functional machine
Decisive loss - Barricade breached, US Army broken and three functional Martian machines are left on board.
