Continued... Attachments: File comment: With the Collosus on First Fire orders, it is even easier for the Titan to land hits upon the Praetorian. The Gatling Cannon and Turbo Laser Destructors strip away the 6 shields.

Continued... Attachments: File comment: Now with no Void Shields, the Imperial Titan has to spring to life. The reactor generates 8 plasma, which ensure that the Titan can first fire, operate weapons, firing off three standard shots on the Plasma Destructor, while presenting all other resources to the plasma engineers for any repairs that will require to be done. 2013-09-28 16.46.13.jpg [ 671.25 KiB | Viewed 4705 times ] File comment: The Titan opens fire on the Leviathan as it is more of an immediate danger than the Collosus which has already fired this turn. 2013-09-28 16.42.21.jpg [ 1.08 MiB | Viewed 4705 times ] File comment: The Titan's weaponry batters the Leviathan's shields and two Plasma Destructor shots hit home. The first destroys the Doomsday Cannon and the second, breaches the bridge, killing the command crew! Those who still survived the damage flee as huge fires catch hold and more explosions rip through the Praetorian. The Titan raises its arms and weaponry in a show of celebration, but the battle isn't over, not by a long shot... 2013-09-28 16.42.10.jpg [ 1.12 MiB | Viewed 4705 times ] File comment: The Goliath Mega-Cannon has the vulnerable Titan in its sight and launches a powerful volley worth 9BPs...
