Victory Conditions

2. Break their sprit no no
3. Defend the Flag no no
4. Take and Hold no no
5. They Shall not Pass no no

Summary
 
Well you will notice there was no EQUES MANIPLE in the game. It was this simple that  the Necron player forgot all about, deploying it. Oh well live and learn. I don't think it would have made that difference any….
 
I always believe in trying to kill the MONOLITH PHALANX, this really screws with the necron plans…
 
I love having the duel weapon, now on the cobra since it does allow, for some flexibility…
 
The scorpion did its job…
 
May the dice roll high for you

Greg
