At issue was a communications satellite held by Emily&#8217;s Rasili Empire. Through it, any one of us could command the communications of the entire planet for propaganda purposes. Vincent made a big threat early on: &#8220;I&#8217;m gonna keep you from getting that satellite no matter what.&#8221; I took that to heart. I also realized that I wasn&#8217;t going to be able to fight off <em>both<\/em> of them, cuz they were both going to be gunning for me. So I started my setup with one guy out front to make Vincent think I was going to be fighting for the satellite, which got him good and committed. I placed the rest of my guys behind him. The look on both of our faces is Vincent going &#8220;Holy shit, how am I gonna pull this out?&#8221; and me thinking, &#8220;Have I just made a terrible strategic error?<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">Vincent didn&#8217;t pull it out. I didn&#8217;t win, but I got close, and in the Campaign rules, that counts for something. Next game, Vincent&#8217;s gotta be gunning for Emily again. I may find myself an ally. We&#8217;ll see.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">In any event, I had three new models for this game. Here they are.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"> <img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/shuttle.jpg\" alt=\"shuttle.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">The Shuttle. This came up from a remote launch point in the desert outside Tarkut. It was supplied by our mysterious benefactor.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/spacecraft.jpg\" alt=\"spacecraft.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">The deep space craft. We hijacked this old piece of shit and use it to haul mecha around orbit.<\/p>\n<p align=\"center\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"http:\/\/glyphpress.com\/talk\/wp-content\/uploads\/2007\/02\/shuttleandartillery.jpg\" alt=\"shuttleandartillery.jpg\" \/><\/p>\n<p align=\"center\">The only purpose-built space mecha among the Paktali. It was on artillery duty.<\/p>\n<p align=\"left\">So there they are.
