Here are some shots from a 4 player practice game. The Zerg and Gila made an uneasy truce in order to battle a combined human force moving in to protect a settlement.
Zerg and Gila Meet
The Gila approached thru the jungle on the settlements north side. Their gun drones were taken out early by well placed heavy sniper fire from one of the settlements silos. The Zerg swarmed forward toward the centre and south sides, zerglings rushing forward to sacrafice themselves in a diversion, allowing the lumbering Ultralisk to get close enough to attack. The Ultralisk proved unstoppable against the human infantry, and as they concentrated all their firepower on it the zergling reserves swept in anhilating one unit of gruntz and locking into combat with a second in quick succession. Hyrdalisks moved into close combat with the human commander but were surpised to discover he was protected by a near impenetrable force field.
The Gila continued to advance along the north front, clearing away enemy infantry and support weapons with accurate small arms fire and the cannon of a light grav tank. Then the human sniper that had accounted for the two Gun Drones, killed the Gila commader with a lucky head shot, stalling the Gila advance.
As the zerg queen move up to aid the attack, she too was hit by a heavy weapons team shot and blasted into a shower of ichor and carapace. Despite decimating the human forces, without command support, the xenos alliance began to withdraw, leaving the humans to what remained of their offending settlement.
