Durgama Takeover

Deployment

Ariadna won the roll off and forced Yu Jing to deploy out in the open to be exploited. Yu Jing chose to act swiftly and strike as quickly as possible.

The troops of the state empire set up with a wide spread, leaving the Digger and Liang Kai room to move forward quickly to try and blunt they incoming assault.

Yu Jing Turn 1

Caught unaware and unprepared, it was the impetuous Digger and Liang Kai who sprang into action with Liang Kai attempting to smoke out a deployed F-13 turret and eating a round for his efforts. Now prepared to begin receiving direct commands, Liang Kai attempted smoke once more in which he successfully advanced and smoked the turret. Quickly dispatching the target, he then fell back through the smoke screen to a defensive position. Meanwhile, the Digger surged forward with the turret cleared. Target number 1 was the Minuteman with the AP spitfire, a direct threat to the Jujak donning his armor. Set aflame and hit in the back with a heavy shotgun round, the Digger was able to graze a grunt caught exposed as well as landing the all important hit on the Minuteman. With a primary defensive and offensive tool taken from the opponent, the Yu Jing turn ended

Ariadna Turn 1

Direct action is sometimes the correct course of action, in this case, Van Zant decided to hurl himself directly next to the obscured Daoying LT. Startled by the maneuver the LT revealed themselves to fire a targeted shotgun shell at the intruder..... and missed. Seizing his opportunity, Van Zant moved to engage the startled LT before quickly offing her head in the ensuing seconds. Bleeding out from his wounds, Zant moved forward to unload his Heavy Pistol into the Zhanying scoring a critical hit and downing the imperial agent, going down himself from the chain rifle from a Kuang Shi. In a coordinated effort the Minuteman with a Boarding Shotgun moves up to eliminate Liang Kai, surviving his retaliating shotgun blast. A Grunt with a Heavy Flamethrower moved forward and quickly spotted a Libertos. The Libertos was much more attuned to aquatic terrain than volcanic types and quickly perished in the ensuing flame storm. Ariadna was delighted with their turn and ended their advance after positioning for another assault on the disorganized Yu Jing team.

Yu Jing Turn 2

Suffering from a sudden loss of command and with significant causalities the Yu Jing team was struck with a loss of momentum. The Jujak, armored and responding to the aggression moved forward and entered into a suppressive fire state, trying to regain some control of the situation.

Ariadna Turn 3

Sensing victory, the Ariadnan Beasthunter decided to challenge the Jujak in his defensive position and snuck forward to unleash a panzerfaust hit amid the return fire of the Jujak. Thanks to the -3 from Suppression, the 5 that would have been canceled by the jujak's burst was turned into a critical hit. A smoking crater of a Jujak was left, securing the board clearly to the Ariadna force

A resounding defeat for the State Empire! Focused on securing their facilities from Exuinox interference and CA aggression the troops of the state empire were not prepared for the sudden and violent assault by Ariadna. A very fun game and I can't wait for the third and final conclusion to our skirmishes. Happy Gaming!
