*Begin Recording*

“Greetings Commanders. With the last joint exercise with the Nomad nation being so fruitful, we have decided to continue the program in a more official capacity. Todays exercise is between a Tunguskan expeditionary force and a Sword of Allah force led by the illustrious Saladin. The battlefield will emulate a hostile, shifting environment that will stress aggressive and tactical advance.”

*Several camera views of a obviously artificial urban area appear. The two sides are already arrayed, with various holographic displays showing troops where to stand and various zones of the battlefield. Some troops are shuffling around as both commanders jockey for position but eventually some signal is relayed and starting positions are locked*

The Haqq LT, helpfully marked as Saladin, begins with blistering aggression. All of his auxiliary troops rush forward, throwing smoke and moving efficiently to take up picket position. A sniper on the right flank takes shots at a Nomad picket remote through the smoke screen, but misses most of his shots, the ones he hit being deflected off the armor. The remote falls back into cover and the sniper, now labeled Knauf, repeats with a second remote which takes the hits on its armor as well. Knauf appears to call for a ref, shaking his training gun in frustration. On the left flank one of the bikers, Zamira, blasts forward. Her advance is so fast that the nomad sniper isnt prepared for her to come around the corner of a building and be in his face mere seconds after the start of the skirmish. Her shotgun and his pistol bark and flash, but the exchange is inconclusive. Her advance continues until she is right next to him and her shotgun goes off again, laying a blast over three nomad units. At the top of the screen three names flash in red as she trades her “life”; Zamira, Grenzer, Interventor (LT) down. Despite taking a commanding lead the Haqq forces advance cautiously, laying repeaters and taking up postions around the “safe” room in the middle of the field. As the Haqq forces advance loses steam red zones pop up from the sides of the field, demarking “dead” zones in which troops cannot safely stay. All of the Haqq troops have advanced out of the zone. This continues for the rest of the recording, and no troopers on either side are left behind to contend with the unsafe environment.

The Nomads are in disarray with the loss of their command structure, but the veteran securitate quickly organize as a new LT is chosen. The Nomads also choose to forgo capturing the safe room, instead advancing into strong positions to assault it. The securitate ready to take the flank and Perseus fireteam ready to rush the room directly. The paramedic in the securitate team attempts to get the Interventor back into the fight, but misses her medikit shots.

As the Nomads position themselves Saladin prepares his next attack. One of the bikers is well positioned to flank Perseus and attempts to do so. His shotgun takes out one of the picket remotes and scuffs a Hollowman, but Perseus backflips into melee with the biker. The Asawira and Muhktar move up to fire on the securitates position, but the exposed trooper manages to dodge out of the room he was in. Leaving his position allows a Ghazi to advance into the same room, exposing the whole team to his shotgun. The Ghazi takes out one of them, then the Azrail moves again to take out another, leaving only the paramedic. The Azrail also take out the Nomad biker, who is exposed without the fireteam screening for him. The Haqq forces again move up, this time strongly garrisoning the room with an Asawira, Zuleyka, a Ghazi, and a Muhktar. The room is also being protected on one flank by Knauf, and on the other by a Ghazi with a jammer and an Azrail providing suppressive fire.

The Nomad response is more organized and begins with Perseus smacking the foolish biker off of his ride. His fireteam then advances, choosing to avoid Knauf completely and instead engage the Azrail. Surprisingly, the Hollowman on point knocks the Azrail out in a single exchange of fire. From here he engages the Muhktar, forcing him back into cover. The Ghazi in the room falls next. The Asawira rolls forward, protecting the door and forcing the Hollowman to continue the firefight instead of advancing on the room. A distortion on the recording, outlined in Nomad red, advances on the room. A Heckler appears, and tries to take out Zuleyka and the Asawira with his assault pistols. Zuleyka falls but takes the Heckler with her. The fireteam tries once more to storm the room but the remaining Ghazi and Asawira have managed to reposition, stalling the Nomad advance.

The swing back from Saladin begins with the Ghulam doctor moving forward to pick up the Azrail. The advanced Ghazi swings to the side, charging directly at the point hollowman, taking him out with his shotgun. Perseus drops a defensive smoke screen, which proves to be a trap as the Muhktar advances in the room, laying down a blistering fusilade into Perseus and the remaining Hollowman. Unfortunately his gun isnt a high enough caliber and both his targets successfully fall back into cover. A nearby Barid advances and shoot his last repeater, allowing the other Barid to target the Hollowman. A guided missile takes him out and clips the Zond behind him. The Haqq forces continues to position, but Perseus, the only remaining trooper on the Nomad side, looks around and signals a forfeit. The holographs in the arena shut down and troops on both sides stand and retire while the two LTs meet and confer.

“After action reports from both sides have been very useful in developing tactics and strategems in regards to dangerous urban environments with quickly shifting battlelines. Nomad commanders in particular had many exciting ideas on how to counter aggressive auxiliary forces.”
