Durgama Takeover

With the Rehearsals done Task Force Eureka Stryker deployed to Cameliard.

"Lieutenant Caman. This is MAJ Bolt...You have been certified to deploy to Cameliard and reporting indicating that you will be encountering Haqq recruits being used to screen the Yu Jing forces that are looking to illegally raid Cameliard. Bushranger has been deployed to assist

It was unfortunate ICAF had hoped some factions would rise above their more immature natures. They could have stepped up to show the rest of the nations why they should deserve to be a leader like PanOceania. But they didn’t focus on their own territories but wanted someone else’s things like a jealous lover. There are more important things now than coveting something than coveting something PanOceania was going to gift to the rest of the Human Sphere anyway to show how benevolent a true leader is.

The Haqq forces had strength of positioning on the Yu Jing flank but the Lieutenant Caman was familiar with similar dispositions from his time on Neoterra responding to clandestine gangs in the Atek slums and knew how to capitalise on the positioning and started directing his forces into action straight away.

NCA Deployment - Learning from their rehearsal against Ariadna the Snipers deployed on an alternate vector to allow covering fire from both approaches and offsetting their location in the event of an infiltrator. The Uhlan was deployed centrally relying on its speed to move to engage whatever forces arrayed itself against them. Most of the NCA forces deployed to be able to support the defence of the AC2 if required.

A Locust attempted to scout his way into the opponents line but was required to conduct escape and evasion but reported back to the commander about the enemy’s locations. Allowing the other Locust to infiltrate to a safer location next to a panoply, only to reveal a supposed PanOceanian long range reconnaissance member already in location. He challenged the individual using his Locust code, the individual failed this test and it's location was transmitted back to Bushranger. Aida deploying off to secure the flank against any suicide runners. She managed to sneak forward and pull a DA CCW from some where I'll never truly know.

NCA Turn 1.
The Locust noting that the ïndividual in question in front of him was clearly an enemy. Bushranger moved into action moving to engage the HMG equipped TR bot overlooking the battlefield. Bushranger 1 stalked to the corner of his building like it was hunting prey. He opened up and the TR bot went down in a barrage of explosions from within the robot's systems. With the Impersonator alone, Bushranger's pilot focused it's targeting array's and managed to override the operative's IFF reading since he'd been on extensive patrols with Caman in the past alongside Black Friars. Looking to clear the anomaly out again Bushranger's pilot cleared the remaining issues and logged it for after action review by the Hexahedron to assist in refining anti-insurgency methods for future operations.

With the known Bushranger opened up with his Feuerbach - He could spray the area with his Machine gun but the FB was more precise and the Hassassin went down in a number of explosions. "Bushranger to Jaguar..Tango elimated you are clear to proceed to the objective." "Roger that Bushranger. Jaguar proceeding to objective"

The locust pushed forward a little bit to the Panoply...his hastiness got the better of him and failed to unlock it on his way through. Staying prone he activated his Cybermask feature to continue his reconnaissance onto the AC2. Standing up and pushing towards the window to take a look he knew he was in a bad situation "Bushranger this is Jaguar. I have identified an armoured capability within the forces, been caught attempting to acquire operational capability intelligence." Jaguar attempted to dodge the incoming flame hoping to get the TAG to display some of its capabilities to allow Bushranger to conduct a suitable engagement. The Locust failed. It got caught in the flame and went down.

The Hexahedron will just need to replace this one like it does all the others. Bushranger re-engaged his Camo array and proceeded to leverage this to take an overwatching position above the battle field to allow engaging the newly identified TAG. He positioned himself to allow him to engage a sniper he had identified also. At which point he dropped the camo array and then engaged the sniper and TAG with his FB. Bushranger directed one round towards the sniper and two rounds towards the "Shakush"-class TAG forcing both elements to dodge the TAG's visual masking systems blending with the surrounding terrain...caught unaware the the TAG and the Sniper decided to dodge. The sudden alterations in enemy TAG's position wasn't factored into the trajectory and Bushranger missed his rounds. The sniper however wasn't so lucky, with enough force the FB clipped the Sniper sending it unconscious, Bushranger redeployed to focus his fire purely on the Shakush-class TAG now with an idea of it's mobility it attempted to avoid the Uhlan's fire again and Bushranger was anticipating this and this time his anti-armour training kicked in and slammed the rounds straight into the TAG's right hand side. The newly identified Shaskush-class experienced a catastrophic failure and went up in fire. Now with an oppressive view over the battlefield Bushranger radioed to LT Camen "Firepower supremacy achieved boss".

With that Aida pushed forward to unlock a panoply things she was all too familiar with and scored herself a Multi Spectral Visor. The surviving Locust pushed forward a little bit to secure Aida rear flank and they dropped into suppressive together.

Haqq Turn 1.

With his primary anti-armour capabilities down for the count. The assassins attempted to triage the situation. The Impersonator on the roof in front of the Uhlan took the lead. He attempted to engage the TAG with his continuous damage rifle in the hope that it clips through the armour and sets off a chain reaction. It did not and the Assassin got hit with the Feuerbach also going unconscious. Another assassin approached the spot in which the Shakush formerly occupied and shouldered an Anti-TAG munition..."Nice try Atek. Bushranger turned an returned fire missed after the attempting to shoot down the Panzerfaust. He missed. Going into survival measures Bushranger reduced his profile leaned against the building and leveraged the natural cover it provided the 'Faust smashed against the building and its explosive punched through but igniting the munitions designed to pentrate armour and fragmentation rounds smashed against Bushranger's armour. The Assassin attempt to do it again but this time he had corrected for the smaller profile and the targeting systems got him first.

With this attempt failed. The assassin force positioned to limit the Uhlan's ability to engage the AC2.

NCA Turn 2.

The battlefield was open. The Bushranger went in for the kill. He moved opened up with the momentum he achieved earlier, moved to engage whatever forces remained. He proceeded to engage an individual his targeting matrix was indicating as Farzan. Proceeded to put him unconscious the close range exchange of fire wasn't the Uhlan's preferred engagement training focus. Then pushed forward to engage a Barid Killer hacker that had set itself up to defend the AC2, catching him unaware and killed the unfortunate hacker. He pushed forward identified the remaining doctor...noting his rules of engagement he left the doctor alone allowing it to shoot its shotgun in a flechette mode in self defence. The Uhlan then pushed forward unlocked its AP CCW from its thigh and proceeded to smash it until it was destroyed.

Haqq Turn 2. With the LT of the Haqq force unconscious and his experienced advisor also unconscious Camen contacted the remaining doctor and engineer and gave them permission to recover their friends bodies for healing. "Withdraw now and no harm will come to you

The PanOceanians continued on their way
