"the US army sent my police departmet 100000 hideous robot arms to rip off citizens' heads but heres the thing, we only need like 500 of them" -wint (@dril)

Tarik Mansuri rounded the corner and beheld the mechanical atrocity that cowered before him. ALEPH chose its name well – an extension of the arm, lesser than a hand but still something that handles.
A lesser person would have paused and considered whether they should harm such a being. A lesser person would have waited for orders, or checked for further instructions. But Tarik Mansuri was greater than that – he was the destructor, one who smashes to bits. So when he beheld the cowering silver-blue creature, he simply raised his gun and smote it.

This was a damn close game and I think it came down entirely to Shamash wisely having Chain of Command. So when Tarik Mansuri did a repeat of his Marut-murder from our previous game instead of costing Shamash valuable time it instead just meant he shifted the weight of his army elsewhere.
Ultimately the game came down to a draw. At the very end I was able to tie it up, but then had no achievable objective cards available to me.

Team photo! After this game I started to see the problem with the Tuareg snipers. They're just not very effective against Shamash's current favoured army composition. I'd be better served with Tuareg hackers instead, or just using those points on more cheerleaders for the Khawarij.
Shamash's first combat group.
And his second. These Dakini were a nightmare and I avoided engaging with them at all costs.
The battlefield.

My Tuareg's initial deployment. Sneaky, sneaky.

Tarik Mansuri ran across the board, after felling the Marut, and shot a Yudbot in to bits.
Penetrating ever further, he then slaughters a Netrod. Die, robot devils, die!
The Tuareg hacker accomplishes only one thing, but it tied the game, so that was nice.
Shamash's final points.
And mine. A tidy tie.
Cat tax!
