Part 2: And Now a Word From Our Sponsors
The Axis' two larger-than-a-battle-droid droids began their advances too. IG-88 #1 began climbing Mount Melone on the hunt for some of Eric's Archers. IG-88 #2 leapt to the top of a sculpture sitting in the center of town. A shot from the Dragoon took care of #2.

As the Axis battle droids advanced on town, the Pepsi Brotherhood began to activate. The Chihuahua leapt onto the front of the Lightning Tank running point for the EllerDrachen Federation and began clawing through the windscreen. The Rampage fired its MK3 Mortar over the head of the Pizza Girl (who was delivering a pizza to the blue office building). She took it as an attack on her and attempted to shoot it down. She failed, and her blaster shot went completely awry, striking Colonel Sanders, who was the statue at the center of town. This activated him and caused him to become quite angry. He leapt at his Cadillac Hover Car and started lifting off. The mortar continued on its way unimpeded and vaporized yet another poor civilian car. The Pizza Girl then hit the gas and ran over four EllerDrachen troops, before the pizza delivery car was finally disabled.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the battlefield, Eric's SCA troopers were doing an admirable job of holding off the Axis battle droids with a minimum of loss. The problem with droids, though, is they don't bleed. How are we supposed to have fields of red then? The Axis' first IG-88 is then thrown off the cliff and killed, though he landed on one of Eric's troopers at the same time. Bummer.

Back in town, the propane truck made an entrance, and the driver summarily freaked out by the sights of two giant armies facing each other off. He skidded and crashed into the statue pedestal in the center of town. The tanker rolled over under the hover car, but somehow didn't blow up. The Axis Mech then fired its Mach V Yamato Laser, vaporizing the Lightening Tank. Unfortunately for the Pepsi Brotherhood, the Chihuahua was still on the hood of the Lightning, and was also vaporized.

The Rampage fired a round at the tanker, hitting it and causing a massive explosion directly underneath Colonel Sanders' caddy. The explosion destroyed the Caddy, the School House, the statue mount in the center of town, a squadron of battle droids, and the front of the Goth Café. Colonel Sanders decided it was time to play gymnastic. Leaping for safety from the exploding Caddy, he found himself hanging from the barrel of a mech. That's a bad place to be, especially when the guns fire.

Next, the EllerDrachen APC pilot got the bright idea to fire his Quad-MK3 lasers at the Pizza Girl, who was making undue advances on the rest of the EllerDrachen Troops ("Leave us alone, we don't want a pizza!"). A direct hit destroyed her, as well as seven surrounding troopers, the Rampage's Trailer, and TGI Fridays.

The Axis army began a quick retreat from town after discovering the plaque, heading for the Mountain. The EllerDrachen APC whipped around behind the town and heads for the Mech.
