Welcome the Phantom Capsule Rematch! This time I was playing alone, with a map of much more dense terrain (I used my favorite paint bottles and some building toys), but the same enemies. Here is the deployment: (we started 24" apart). The turn status is written above each picture.
The first turn was spent moving up.
Turn Two saw some actual fighting, with my Cradle team firing at the Nuckelavee monster and dealing 6 points of damage!
On Turn Three, the Cradle Team split up while Nuckelavee inched towards the objective and the Cherubile began to group up.
Both Cradle units fell back on Turn Four, adjusting their speed to be faster than the Nuckelavee, resulting in the Nuckelavee chasing one of them and the Chreubile successfully grouping up.
My left Cradle unit body-checked, then punched the Nuckelavee on Turn Five, dealing a massive amount of damage and killing it. Unfortunately, this left my unit with only a shield to protect it from harm. Meanwhile, my other unit fired with its Burst Gun and injured a Cherubile which is hidden from the camera's view.
Turn Six saw my units becoming bold, the left one sustaining heavy alien fire and still managing to get a body-check and a punch in, destroying the Cherubile's shield, injuring it and leaving it open to attack from my other unit.
On Turn Seven, I won! My units managed to live through that wave of the alien invasion and even emerge victorious!
Once again, I had a lot of fun and I think next time I do a Battle Report for Phantom Capsule, I'm going to add another monster. That should add to the challenge! But, my Cradle units won't be without help! Anyway, thanks for reading!
