| − | The players now add the [[Initial Energy]] from the cards they played to their pool. Tom has <card partial="1">24 Electric (E), 0 Lay (L) and 0 Protein (P). Joani has 0 Electric (E), 15 Lay (L), 17 Protein (P)</card>. The players draw their initial [[Hand]]s of 6 cards. Then, Tom plays initial characters from his opening hand. He plays 2 ''Fighter Drone''s placing them both on the ''Laser Turret''. Then Jaoni plays a ''Fire Walker''. Now, Tom has 18 Electric and Joani has 15 Lay and 14 Protein.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now Tom's first turn begins. Because it is the first turn he does not have to pay his character costs during his [[Restore Phase]]. He draws a card from his deck during his [[Draw Phase]]. Then he begins his [[Main Phase]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | At the beginning of Tom's Main Phase a [[Slow Action]] speed [[Stack]] is created and Tom becomes active. At this point he can play any [[Action]] he wishes, but he chooses to pass and Joani becomes active, but she passes as well. Now Tom declares a Movement Stack and moves one of how ''Fighter Drone''s into No Man's Land, then he passes. Joani responds by moving her ''Fire Walker'' into [[No Man's Land]] as well, then she passes. Tom could now move the other Drone but because the first Drone has already moved in this stack it cannot move again. He chooses to pass. Now the ''Fire Walker's'' movement resolve and it moves to No Man's Land and Tom responds by using his ''Laser Turret'' to deal 2 [[damage]] to the ''Fire Walker''. This goes on the stack, and Joani passes allowing it to resolve. The ''Fire Walker's'' Endurance is now 5. Now the final movement resolves and the ''Fighter Drone'' moves to No Man's Land.
| |
| − | | |
| − | As soon as the two [[Character]]s are in the same area they enter [[Combat]]. They deal there [[Attack]] in [[damage]] to each other and become [[Drained]] (<html><img src='/drained_symbol.png' alt='Drain' /></html>). Now the ''Fire Walker'' has 1 Endurance left and the ''Fighter Drone'' has 4. Now the player have to option to Retreat their characters and they both do so. They move their characters back on to one of their areas.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Now Tom's declares the end of his turn and during his [[The Dim Future/Glossary#End Phase|End Phase]] Joani uses her ''Medical Room'' to [[Heal]] her ''Fire Walker'' by 3 points (she pays 1 Lay). Her ''Fire Walker'' has 4 Endurance, now.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Joani begins her turn. During her Restore Phase she restores her ''Fire Walker'' and ''Medical Room''. Then she draws her card during her [[Draw Phase]].
| |
| − | | |
| − | During her Main Phase she then plays another ''Fire Walker'' on her center Area, but because it is played during the game it enters play drained. Then she declares a Movement Stack. She moves her non-Drained ''Fire Walker'' into No Man's Land. Tom responds by moving his non-Drained ''Fighter Drone'' to meet it. Joani responds by using her ''Medical Room'' to restore her ''Fire Walker'' another 3 Endurance (now at full, 7). Also she uses the ''Fire Walker's'' ability twice, paying 2 Lay and raising its Attack to 6. Both players pass and everything resolves and Combat occurs. The ''Fire Walker'' is at 3 and the ''Fighter Drone'' is at 2. The 2 characters Retreat.
| |
| − | | |
| − | During Joani's End Phase her ''Fire Walker's'' attack drops back to 4 again and Tom's uses his ''Rebuilding Garage'' on the weaker Drone, costing him 1 Electric.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Joani now has 12 Lay and 14 Protein. Tom has 17 Electric.
| |
| − | | |
| − | Tom's next turn begins. His ''Fusion Plant'' adds 2 Electric to his pool (now 19). During his Restore Phase he must pay the cost of each character and his leader. The total is 9 Electric. He now has 10 Electric, and all his permanents are [[Drained|undrained]].
