Points: 2000.
Deployment: Front Line.
Primary Objective: Duel.
The Imperial plan for the next stage of the was was based on two assumptions: that the Saurians would withstand a direct assault on their ziggurat once again and that the Rift Wardens would require time to regroup and re-arm to counter attack. For the later to be an option, a force of Custodians had to hold off a force of Saurian reinforcements incoming from the southwest.
Day 1 saw a sizeable force of Custodians deployed in the path of the Saurian warriors. The enemy forces consisted of many Saurian warriors supported by their dinosaurs. The Custodians had the numbers but they faced a threat and a foe that they had not been tested against.
The Custodians began by assaulting the Saurian infantry along an old road stretching between two distant ziggurats. The Saurian forces, mainly infantry with some monstrous support, offered stiff resistance for the duration of the battle. Despite their numerical advantage, it was not until the following morning that the Custodes finally broke the Saurian lines, routing the enemy. Even so, the Custodes suffered casualties in the aftermath from the Saurian artillery beasts.
The Saurian reinforcements were stopped and the Custodes fortified their positions, Before the Saurians could regroup, they were once again assaulted and forced back. A third attempt finally oblitereated the Saurian attackers.
