Draiss was glad for the reserve force, but none so much as the gunboats, their mid and short range weapons shredding anything within range, even the new forms dying with gratifying speed, and the upgrades were only to the armor and engines, making them damn hard to kill, nearly perfect in their current form. He was dancing on a razor's edge, trying desperately to keep them back, even as he sent invitations to several deities he had been trying to bring into his corner, or at least convince that he was mostly dedicated against Beyonder type enemies. They would get a chance to observe his units in direct action against their primary enemy. They were effective against most organics, but against Beyonders, they were designed to be super effective, and most did their job admirably, though a new unit, the basic frigate type, a sort of super gunboat, was substandard, and he quickly withdrew them, though the idea was great, he just couldn't get a perfect model down. Thor, Moradin, and a half dozen other major deities were invited to his command post during the major incursion, so he could get permission to field units in their areas without worry about interference.
