Where ever the Emperor needs his eyes

A message had found its way through the warp to the Sorcerer on board the Nocturne Glaive, it was a simple message and one that did not bode well for the members of the 14th Company or their Ork Allies. It simply said, "Lord Darkhound's forces caught on surface of Ultramar, no survivors expected, fleet withdrawing to Maelstorm."

The Captain's fists balled, very quickly the course of this war was altering, too quickly in fact. He scanned the bridge of his beloved Cruiser, the crew silently going about their duties in the dim light, beside him in midnight clad stood his loyal Lieutenant his had resting on the hilt of his obsidian blade. Similar thoughts played through both of their minds, should they follow the remnants of the Corsairs into the Maelstrom or stand and fight. They looked knowingly at one another, they would stand.

So, how do we determine the winners on the good side? Might I propose and "I win" agreement?

In this game, I believe the objective is Last Man (or Bug / Mushroom / Elf) standing, assuming that players can get to such a point that all but one army remain. As we just saw with the Mushroom, the high Recovery rates make this very difficult.

I can probably outlast (or draw) any one of you, and almost certainly die to all of you combined. What the tipping point is between bugs living and dying, I don't care to speculate at this particular moment, although 1had took a first shot at it in the other thread. If you want to discuss it in more detail, we can take the analysis over there and try to figure it out.

I do rpedict this: first one to break "the alliance" is going to be in a world of hurt...

The Night Lords move to Armageddon and attack Biel-Tan

NOTE: When the Night Lords are destroyed the Captain, Sorcerer and Lieutenant will survive along with their ship. Since I will be re-using them in game two.

That's a lot of conditions to place, given that CSM can easily replace officers who die...

Pff Im not asking its how it is, other wise I'd have to pull a GW/BL thing and just retcon at the start of Game two.

Yeah, but I like the unnamed Lieutenant Im using, Im not ready to kill him off. So I would very much appreciate it if you guys would allow the Captain and Lieutenant to live. Do what you will with the Sorcerer, cripple the ever living hell out of the ship.
