Thunderbolt & Lightning: Very very frightening!

Deployment & Placement Tony did a sketch map of the location of the Wolverines without deploying them on the table. He also nominated three buildings which were showing excessive electronic signatures: one of them would be my target: their HQ. I then placed the Thunderbolts and Waldheims on the table within short range (30cm) of the end and – to force Tony to stretch his deployment – I placed them at alternative long ends of the table at alternative ends. Tony placed all four of the Lightning Division detachments on the table. They had to be no closer to the ends of the table than medium range (120cm) – so in the central, city portion. This made them a little cramped. The Antargrans were to turn up late (ie not in the first turn) and not all together. The Wolverines, remember, are only placed on the table when visible via direct line of site of any of my forces. Alternatively, they would be revealed either when they fire, move or if Tony wanted them to be. Finally, after turn ONE the Antargrans will arrived, in a strung out state... Each detachment bowled to turn up against its Quality each turn plus one per turn, plus one if any other Antargrans have already arrived in the previous turn only. So - at the start of the second turn - they needed to get a 5 or 6 to arrive (one did: the infantry unit without their commander who obviously hung around at the back...). This turned up at a random end (I bowled and they came on behind the Waldheims which was a real shame) and – in the third turn – the armour came on right behind them at the same end.
