Both of you post those and I'll narrate the battle. Millions. Literally millions. Their entire migratory fleet sent their troops down to conquer this planet.

They have immense plasma cannons on most of their tanks, but in light of recent developments their heavy tanks have had their turrets swapped out for powerful acid hoses. Much better against infantry. They also brought in Destroyers, which are armed with ion miniguns.

Mobility: Very high. Scourge vehicles are the fastest around, and can hover over obstacles.

Moral: Quite high, they are right where they want to be.

Weight of armour: Low.

Training level: Again, all of them have been around for nearly two centuries.

Other advantages:

Surprise, most of them didn't expect an attack.

Positioning, we were inserted by dropships all over the city, something they've never dealt with.

Chaos, a lot of cities were struck by "freak lightning storms" earlier.

Numbers, most of their fighting men are off elsewhere.

Skill, for the same reason as above.

Foreknowledge. We know what we're dealing with, they do not.

Terror, our Screamers drive debilitating fear into the heart of any nearby enemy.

We control the skies. Ed don't start saying I'm losing yet I still need to post, and I'm cool with Eureka having a large military because if you forgot my entire planet is battle ready, every citizen has some degree of training and the advanced military is about 70% of the population, that being said:

They're an earth like human race so they'd number in the billions (buff Eureka if you want)

Weapons, large numbers of defensive weaponry around castles and village walls like laser ballistas and plasma catapults. Each soldier is outfitted with 4 batons, which when twisted (like in tron) expand into a weapon, secondary weapon/shield/quiver, mount, and one specialized (banner, tower shield generator, battering ram etc)

Mobility, each soldier has their hover cycle which they are skilled in driving, once off their mount mobility depends on armor, full plate soldiers sacrifice mobility for being able to tank a few shots while archers and the such are very agile

Training: all citizens have 16 years basic training (11 if you don't count infancy and toddler years) apprentices have 11-15 and soldiers have all that special training in addition to 1-30 years of battlefield experience

Morale, citizens and trainees vary but soldiers are absolute and get even more motivated to the point of battle rage by grief and fear (loss of comrades and the terror devices)

Now for my turn (you said this was turn based and not just posting stats right?) After realizing they don't stand a chance the civilians and apprentices in the attached areas retreat into building and hide as best as they can so that they can be of more use once the army arrives, a day after the initial attacks the armies are within viewing range of their homelands, the front lines extend their specialized batons into ten foot pikes which they stab into the ground in front of them, blue light connects each pike as it turns into one massive tower shield, they take it out of the ground and resume their march, every few rows holds up shields in case of any arced attacks

Eureka turn
