Right, so your railgun emplacement has taken out my hovertank, but the cluster shell missed the marine squad.

CORRECT. ALSO COLLATERAL DAMAGE TO THE BUNKER BERMS.

Ah, yes, thanks for that.

Now, I advance the Marines to the railgun, and they engage the crew. (rolls dice) They defeat the crew.

My remaining scout armour advances to here. And targets your command post.

BEST THREE OF FIVE?

Dr Shannon looked at the mess.

"Barry, I'm sorry to say that you've flunked this test. It is back to class for you."

"Damnit. It looked like every other bit of this desert."

"You should have been checking your instruments. They would have shown it up over a 100 metres away."

"But how do we know any of this will be of any use?"

"We don't. The point is to prepare you to think through whatever weirdness you meet out there on our first exoplanet landing."
