Fire for Effect
300 POINTSSpektr recon teams at Port Fire Control report a heavy Aleph presence. Our band of Dragnet operatives are dispatched to eliminate the threat.
Our intel proved to be correct, as we discovered a number of Aleph aspects on the ground, including Achilles, Ajax and Hector. In addition to our TJC regular forces, we're being deployed with several hired guns, 3 bounty hunters are on hand - the best money can buy. A strike team headed by Perseus, along with a Vostok Sputnik and Fiddler along to provide any repairs sets up in a central location, preparing to move into the heart of the enemy to retrieve a crucial data cache, while our Zondnautica protects our Vertigo Zond to ensure our heavy firepower isn't lost. Hecklers line the frontline, and the bounty hunters are assigned to close support for the Interventor leading the mission.
First contact was initiated by the Steel Phalanx, as one of their hired guns rode into view of our Vostok. After a brief exchange of fire the biker pulled back out of visual range.
The ferocity of the Aleph assault was just beginning however. Without the overwatch of the Puppetactica, Achilles roared into our front lines. An embedded Arachne reporter was no match for the bloodlust of Aleph's dog, slowing him for only a moment.
With the press no longer around to document the battle, Achilles turned his attention to the Bounty Hunters defending our Inteventor.
But, the money was well spent, as the trio of Bounty Hunters slowed the attack. Following the detonation of the Puppetactica's mine wounding Achilles, our Interventor was able to send forward a FastPanda into range of the wounded Achilles' defensive location.
With the missiles raining down, a Heckler advanced toward the main Aleph battle group, and in the face of overwhelming fire, was able to send forward another FastPanda before perishing.
With Ajax successfully geotagged, the Vertigo continued to unleash missiles, eliminating another Aleph soldier.While our forces had successfully struck a retaliatory blow, we'd made no progress on our primary objective, when Aleph renewed their attack.
After eliminating our Repeater network, the Aleph strike team moved in to hunt the Interventor who had been waging Quantronic war on them.
Following the Decapitation strike, our forces were in disarray, managing some minor maneuvers, but largely keeping their heads down.
A pincer maneuver from the Aleph fireteam allowed them to eliminate the last defenders of our Beacon before claiming if for their own.
Assuming Field Command, Acting Lieutenant Perseus was faced with a choice - lead his strike team deep into enemy territory to attempt to recover the Aleph data cache, or pursue the Aleph fireteam into their defensive posture to recover the Nomad beacon. He opted to lead his team into Aleph territory to attempt to secure their beacon. The final charge left Fiddler dead under a rocket of Phoenix, and with the Vostok stunned and unable to recover the data cache, the survivors withdrew.Battle Report Author

great battle report , loved the terrain
Great pictures and I liked the board layout.
Better luck next time Commander!
If you gotta deal with the Greeks, targeted missile strikes isn’t a bad way to do it. Nice narrative that still gave a good description of the game.
