OOC: I think we'll go with one last thread. I've put it up on RP board but I can't get the link to work properly at the moment. Also Reinno, I am very sorry but I am afraid that I need to do some needing of your attack on the Souless Doom. The Souless Doom was no longer pulling back, but using its superior range to keep you guys pinned down. Also it does not have warp engines since the Necrons don't need to use the warp. And finally the Souless Doom's sensors are more than advanced enough to detect an Imperial mine and avoid it so the Souless Doom is not a sitting duck because it did not run into a mine and lose warp engines which it didn't have in the first place while it was retreating which it wasn't.

IC: the Necrons once again regroup around the defences and the two forces both Eldar and Necrons take up entrenchment lines not dissimilar to the trench warfare of the First World War. In orbit the small Necron fleet is managing to keep the Eldar fleet pinned down and greatly lessen the amount of shots fired in orbital bombardment.

On Sitrakh the IG attack suddenly finds lightning leaping from man to man as three annihilation bardges fire one them killing about three hundred of them in the one barrage. Of course this would be insignificant if there had only been one, however there ten made killing about 2000 IG thanks to highly precision targeting. Even the the guard continue to advance even as on many places the ground opens up to reveal great fissures which platoons of guardsmen fall screaming into and massive energy blasts which suddenly erupt without warning when activated from below.

By this point approximately 10000 guardsmen have died cutting a rather large part off their forces. However the assault continues and the Necrons fall back to the next defence line. The guards' assault temporarily stalls as two more fresh phalanxes join the battle and kill off the whole of the first attacking wave but they soon charge forwards again with an implacability that almost matches the Necrons' own.
