Durgama Takeover

*Please excuse the unpainted models, they arrived the day before the battle!*

Nomads high command had information that a Haqqislam commander has been funneling information on Nomad force dispositions to the Aleph. A decision has been made to set an example of this commander by staging a ‘friendly fire’ incident.

Under the auspices of a joint training exercise, a Haquislam force consisting of a Maghriba and it’s infantry escort entered the Nomad AO. The Corregidoran forces waited in ambush for them with a squadron of Geckos, alongside a cadre of hackers. The treacherous Haqqislam wouldn’t know what hit them…

Turn One:
– Haqqislam
The Haqqislam forces take the first turn and move forward toward the Nomad positions. The Maghriba pushed on the Nomad right flank, severely damaging a Stempler Zond, while a group Ghulams pushed down the centre and a squad of Janissaries approached the panoply on the left fllank. In the centre, a camouflaged Moran Massai valiantly gave his life in order to take out the Ghulam team leader, leaving his squadmates leaderless and floundering.
– Nomads
After taking fire, the infamous hacking duo Jazz and Billie were able to sneak within range of the Maghriba and switch it’s friend and foe identification routines. As the Pilot frantically attempted to shutdown his TAG, the Maghriba turned on its allies, decimating the Janissary fireteam on the other side of the AO and executing its own engineer, before being shutdown permanently by the Gecko squadron.
In the centre, the Geckos pushed forward and decimated the Ghulam squad as they frantically called out orders to each other. Without leadership or direction they quickly fell to the Geckos onslaught.
On the left flank, a squad of Wildcats and a Zond carefully creep forward under cover to engage the janissaries that are making their way toward the panoply. These were then successfully marked by Jazz and took missile fire from the Vertigo Zond, with limited effect.

Turn Two
– Haqqislam
The forces of Haqqislam manage to reorient themselves to the threat and make a push for the panoply, which is being looked over by a Nomad Transductor Zond. The bots flashpulse unfortunately has little effect on the Haqq Janissary and the bot is severely damaged. The janissary is then able to recover additional armour from the panoply and prepares to face the Nomad forces.
In the centre, the Haqqislam doctor attempts to reach their wounded but he is rapidly gunned down by the waiting Gecko squadron.

– Nomads
The final blows are delivered by the devastating firepower of the Gecko squadron. Moving forward, they mop up the surviving Ghulams and flank the Janissaries. With little cover to protect them from the onslaught of the Geckos, the fina Haqqislam troopers fall quickly.
