Our massive participation Drakh invasion of Earth has played out to its bitter conclusion; Earth fell to the Drakh Shadow Cloud....
After fielding a massive 99 Drakh Ships, 1 Shadow Cloud against about 76 EAS & Allies with over 90 bases of fighters the game came to its final conclusion when the Shadow cloud reached mere inches from Earth and it was clear that absolutely nothing was close enough to reach it and prevent it from Nuking its goal!
The game was fantastic, Les did particularly well on the Drakh left flank at luring the EAS and Non aligned fleets away from the centre. It was this which enabled the Drakh to sweep the Centre clear and get a straight run (if a little brutal) at the target. Having said that, by the last turn it was extremely touch and go with the Shadowcloud being reduced to about 125 Damage points in the end, the Victory died at the hands of several nukes and a pile of Drakh Raiders, the battered Excalibur lined up the killing lightning cannon shot on the tattered Shadowcloud, due to damage she needed a 4+ to fire a weapon and rolled..... a 1! As the previous lightning cannon shot had gutted around 240 pts from the Shadowcloud this would have won them the game, unfortunately fate had other plans and the Excalibur went the way of the Victory, leaving the space ahead clear for the Shadow cloud...
