TURN 4: COUNTER OFFENSIVE
The Deathshroud make contact on the Western flanks, just barely making it into contact before shredding the rhino that the AL Legionnaires had withdrawn into to evade their wrath. The DG rhino disgorges it's tactical marines to finish off the extraction of the pathogen, extracting the most important elements of its chemical composition from the AL scanners. Despite the constant pounding of Phosphex the AL holds strong in the center, completing the extraction of the pathogen. The saturnine praetor and his Chaplain ward engage the remaining lerneans and the Librarian in combat. The Lernean Sergeant bravely challenges the praetor in a fit of martial hubris and after surviving three exchanges finally gets pasted by the praetor without inflicting a scratch while the rest of the command squad annihilates the chaplain. The librarian, knowing when to fold, disengages from the rampaging Saturnine and casts the most powerful spell of all: 6 lascannons to the face after a Banestrike Fusillade. The saturnine praetors last sight is a searing flash before he's atomised.
Despite the success of their sortie the DG have managed to extract the most information and samples and withdraw having secured the strategic victory (if not the tactical one)
(Score: DG (counter offensive) 3x2 + 3x2 + 4x2(Last Man Standing), AL 3+2(Slay The Warlord)
Final score DG 32, AL 31.
