Durgama Takeover

Seeking revenge for the attack on their Yu Jing brethren, Crane Agent Adil led his men into a security sector to root out the ALEPH strike team at the roots.

Deployment

Yu Jing won the roll off and chose to go first, out for blood. ALEPH chose to set up and counter deploy the oncoming Yu Jing aggression.

Yu Jing Turn 1

A brave Shaolin led the charge forward for the State Empire, throwing off smoke and allowing the beasthunter to move forward and catch the ALEPH team by surprise with a torrent from his Heavy Flamethrower. With the momentum of a surprise attack, both the Shukra and the Dakini sniper burnt to a crisp with the other Dakini only taking one wound and going into a reset state. Very very shocked by his success, the Beasthunter turned his flamer onto a Netrod, charring the delicate wiring before moving into close engagement with the downed Dakini and completing a classified objective for the ISS. With only one order left and no eyes on him, the Beasthunter re-entered camo to finish Yu Jing's violent opening.

ALEPH Turn 1

Reeling from the weight of the Yu Jing onslaught, the ARJUNA targeted and downed the Beasthunter. This allowed Andromeda a chance to sneak forward, and with a command token was able to cautiously move passed the Yu Jing defenses. With another command token and a final order, Andromeda downed a Shaolin accompanying Liang Kai before slinking back into full cover.

Yu Jing Turn 2

Focused on painting the advantage in momentum they had already secured, Adil ordered Liang Kai and his team to move forward, reforming their team with the spare Shaolin from earlier. Together, the three moved up to the enemy AC2 and quickly turned the target into nothing but a memory. With only a few moments left, Adil moved forward to put his own life on the line and entered suppressive fire guarding the AC2.

ALEPH Turn 2

Knowing time was short, Andromeda moved up to recover. the remains of the Shaolin for classified experiments back at base. With that taken care of, the ALEPH elite operative moved contest Adil and crit with her Shotgun, putting the noble hero straight into unconscious in just a few short seconds. With precious few moments left in her turn, Andromeda moved and planted her D-Charges, managing to score two wounds to the AC2 after two attempts.

Yu Jing Turn 3

With the central head cut off of the Yu Jing command, it was no wonder I realized I had entirely forgotten about my Long Ya. (Don't grind games out in the early AM kids). Using his love for the State Empire and the truth, the Yu Jing Warcor risked getting a hit on Andromeda, critting her and stunning the elite ALEPH warrior. With a moment to act, the Mech Engineer moved forward and fired her Gizmokit at the AC2. Nobody makes em like Yu Jing, and two wounds were fixed off the talent of the Engineer. The Long Ya reveled itself, firing both Panzerfausts into the stunned ALEPH operative who attempted to dodge, but was still hit by a missile and went down in the aftermath.

Conclusion

We decided to call the game there, with ALEPH's only D-Charge being in their deployment zone, they didn't have the orders to get them to the objective. Really scary final turn for me! Adil going down and missing the Long Ya nearly cost me the game but we shall always remember the bravery of that unnamed warcor. Again, huge shout out to a friend of mine for grinding out the last few games with me. This community is awesome. Happy Gaming!
