Nocturnal Lion

1.

The depot was menacing at night. In the darkness, trains became behemoths of indeterminate size. An ambush could come from any direction. Inside, over, under, around trains–so many vectors to account for. In a place made almost entirely of places to hide, no one is truly hidden.

“I don’t like it.” Machaon sighs, the group preparing behind a large freighter.

“Doesn’t matter. We’ll take it, like we always do.” Thud, clack. Phoenix’s launcher always has something to say.

Machaon continues “We have to stop the shipment. You know where to drop?,” extending a data pad. “You know, you have to take care of it.”

“Yeah, yeah,” Diomedes points at the spot on the data pad without looking. “Rui Shi. I know how much you hate them.”

Atalanta glances over her shoulder at the group.

2.

Diomedes is in free-fall when he comes to. His body is stretched and pulled by invisible turbulence. It takes him a moment to overcome the adrenaline, the panic, and he barely is able to right himself in time for landing. But it’s not enough. He doesn’t need his display to tell him he’s nowhere near the drop site.

He sees Machaon’s eclipse smoke. Darker than the night, it’s impossible to see what’s happening–but he can hear.

The sound of unfriendly gunfire, and the cries of his friends.

Suddenly, Diomedes’s comms kick back in “You have to get out of here. Now. Call for help.” It’s Atalanta. His gaze finds her, but that’s not the only thing. As he turns to look, 5 glowing eyes emerge from the shadows. It’s the lion.

Gameplay Report

Turn 1 Top
Steel Phalanx went first. Steel Phalanx beings their assault on the AC2 on turn one, but is slowed and stopped by mines and shaolin monks. Diomedes fails his Combat Jump, and ends up in deployment. Phoenix and Machaon-led Fire Team go too far into enemy deployment to be effective with the launcher, and also fail to fight off the monks in CC.

Turn 1 Bottom
A Ru Shi with the assisted fire moves up in YJ turn one and mops up the myrmidon team
Ru shi also mops up with Atalanta after dealing with the myrmidons, moving behind to cover to get into good range before she gets LOS.

Game is called on at the end of turn 2 as YJ moves its Guijia near the thorakites.
