Glad to play Gladius

I went and bought Warhammer 40,000: Gladius, Relics of War, all just to play the Astra Militarum campaign. Well, because, as you know, my main army is Astra Militarum (actualy, it's Knights, but Knight Houses need their House Militia, which in Draconis III, is made up of the Imperial Guard).

I learned how to play the game with the introduction thing, but Space Marines are...not my thing. Nonetheless, I learned how to build stuff and get a feel of the game, and ended up wiping out the Necrons without even realizing it. Well, it's the introduction, after all. Then I played Astra Militarum in the Single Player, and won by taking out the enemy Astra Militarum (Traitors and Heretics!) base without realizing it either. I tried to take on the Lord of Skulls, but I got my ass handed to me over and over, even with a Baneblade. Damn, but that thing is tough to beat.

I'm currently on a 7-faction game where I allied with Space Marines against 2 allied Necrons against 3 un-allied Orks (disparate Ork Warbands fighting against each other and us). Uh...that was a bad idea. The Necrons steamrolled and crushed the Space Marines, and then wiped out the Orks, and now I'm under siege by their army, and I'm not sure if my squadron of Leman Russ tanks will be able to defeat the Necron army. Ugh...

Well, I'll do my best, and I'll start a new game if I can't win this one. At least I succeeded in learning how to manage my resources. My first few games were hampered by a lack of Loyalty and now I found out how to increase Loyalty in my cities, so I don't think I'll suffer the problem again. Phew.
