Battle in the Badzones

THE SHORT VERSION

Martyn Lyon’s Goliath Ironlords defend a tunnel complex against Matt Hutson’s Escher Carrion Queens. The players expand the introductory scenario to use both full gangs, giving short-ranged industrial weapons, traps and chemical attacks a congested battlefield in which every fighter’s position matters.

The Eschers combine pinning fire with concentrated attacks while the Goliaths become isolated and struggle to advance. Rork’s stubborn resistance prolongs the fight, but the Carrion Queens take control and finish twelve victory points to four ahead; the aftermath stresses that toughness alone cannot compensate for repeatedly losing actions to enemy shooting.
