TURN 5

INITIATIVE - The Movellans finally win back the Initiative for the turn.

Movellan Activation

The Unit South Movellan Sub-Commander activates first for the turn. His team now has a clear line of sight to the second Silver Dalek, which is at long range.

Taking the chance, they open fire. Three shots hit the Silver Dalek but is Dalekanium armour deflects two of those shots. The final one however not only hits but penetrates the armour, destroying the Dalek outright.

"We need to take that thing out!"

"FIRE!"

BOOM!

One less Dalek to plague the Galaxy

Another Dalek destroyed! Unit South now jump the obstacle and move towards the entrance ramp.

"Get to the ship!"

The NW Unit of Movellans also see their opportunity and make a run for the entrance ramp, now that the last Silver Dalek is destroyed. Clearing the barricade, they make their move.

"Run for it!"

"Get to the ramp"

The Western Unit Sub-Commander also sees the opportunity and, not wanting to be left behind, makes a run for the entrance ramp sprinting past the Southern Movellan Unit.

Who will win the race to the entrance ramp?

With this, the Movellan turn ends. One lone Movellan remains un-activated back at the ruins. Its battery unit must have run down.

Dalek Activation

The Daleks have lost another model, leaving only five left. They can activate half of the models on the table which means that this turn only three models can activate. The Black Dalek however has the Leader 2 ability permitting it to activate two other models for free. This means that all Daleks get to activate during the Dalek Activation part of the turn.

The Extraction Team Dalek that was separated from its comrades now moves forward to close the gap with the Movellans.

Almost there

The Black Dalek and the rest of the Dalek Extraction Team move forward in "chase" of the Movellens. The Daleks being hindered by only having one Move action per Activation.

The Black Dalek and its team open fire at the closest Movellan in a desperate attempt to take it down. The shots however miss the mark hitting the ground around the Movellan's feet.

"EXTERMINATE, EXTERMINATE"

With that, the turn ends.


One loan Movellan stands motionless at the ruins. Its powered down eyes watch lifelessly as its comrades rush the Dalek Saucer.
