Summary

 

Well that was by the skin of your teeth, for Death watch. If they had not gotten the Warlord to blow up..Then it would have went to Turn four and there was not much left of the Death Watch force and all the Titans had to do was focus on the INQUISITORIAL WARBAND, break it and then move in to claim, Take and Hold goal..
