So the forces of humanity once again faced off against the horrible alien invaders. This was what was hoped to be the final battle. A massive multi national force, well equipped with aerolyth flyers and steam powered war machines would be placed atop the last hive in Brazil. Their mission was to kill any bugs that came up to the surface.

We had some good learnings from Border Wars. One was to add the small plates to most of the flying stands, that way if bugs boarded a small vessle they could be put right on the lower plate

We also came up with a quick and dirty way to mount the larger flyers

We just put the Corsec Engineering rod (which for strength with such heavy models I put deep into the hull of the ships and foamed into place) right into the tube of the center part of the upper flight stand. This made life a bunch more simple.

We added some new bugs to the alien force with a few units of Rebel Mini's Spider bugs out on the table.

In this picture you might see a number of green plastic shot glasses.

We use those to keep track of what units have moved and then red ones for what units have fired.

We will be running this game again at Origins starting tomorrow in the miniatures hall!

Please take a look at our Kickstarter as well!
