Seraseth VS nullpointer 1658008373

“While we acknolwedge that the Durgama Defense Coalition did give us designated targets held by PanOceanian forces, YuJing high command did hand us a seperate strike package directed at the Darpan Xeno-station. As many of you are aware we are developing an AI comparable to the Aleph, so we are taking advantage of the chaos generated by the incoming Combined Army’s forces to get into Darpan to retrieve some of Aleph’s best kept secrets in AI development. To our alies in the coalition we may be seen as going rogue, we are however always going to act in Yujing’s interest to the upmost priority.”
– Commander Zhang Yichen, 56th Combat Engineers of the Invincible Army

The mission: Highly Classified

Primary objectives:
Rescue
Sabotage
Follow up
Predator

Secondary onjective:
Data-scan

Turn 1A:
The Invincible Army has the initiative and it's first step is to take out the TR bot facing down the middle lane, so a linked Haidao sniper is a able to remove it with just one round of shooting scroing 2 hits with DA ammo, the TR bot fails all it's saves and is blown off the table. Then a Thorakitai FO is spotted across the table by a camo marker on the roof, it moves up and is revealed to be a Zhencha FO. The Thorakitai fires it's flash pulse in response to the Zhencha's FO skill, the Zhencha wins the roll-off and marked the Thorakitai. Then a son-bae remote fires a guided missile on the Thorakitai, knocking it unconcious. Finally Krit making use of the Lt orders with his NCO skill, moves his Haris team up to the middle of the table to set up for the second turn.

Turn 1B:
The Aleph starts off by attempting to drop a Garuda in the Invincible Army's backline but is successfully blocked by the Panggulin EVO hacker and is forced back to its deployment zone's table edge. The Garuda then came back with a vengence and took out a HMG Zuyong and took a wound off Krit before going back into total cover and going into suppression mode. Then to finish off Krit a marker moved out from cover and went towards him, the Haidao overwatching opted to discover while Krit held his ARO. The marker then revealed itself to be a Libertos with light shotgun, the Haidao's ARO was wasted while Krit and the Libertos traded shots. The end result was Krit was knocked unconcious while the Libertos was put into dogged state from Krit's chain-colt. The Libertos then went to Coup de Grace Krit while eating a shot from the Haidao.

Turn 2A:
With the Haris team being destroyed the Haidao killer hacker from that team moved up to try to complete 'Follow up' and 'Data-scan'. It took 2 tries to succeed 'Follow up' but only a single attempt to succeed 'Data-scan' on the Garuda within ZOC. The Garuda was allowed to reset but opted not to, to stay in suppression mode. Since Krit was taken out the Mech-engineer in the Zhanshi core team have to leave their defensive position to get to the designated building to do 'Sabotage'. Before leaving the roof the Panggulin activated the 'enhanced reaction' program on the son-bae. Once on the ground the fireteam fanned out to cover the areas of approach. Then the Zhencha decides to engage the Garuda with it's panzerfaust but missed, a second attempt with the SMG took it down.

Turn 2B:
Like what the Invincible Army did, the Aleph pushed forward to do 'Follow up' with a Thorakitai and succeeded after 2 tries, then a Dasyus killer hacker appeared out of hidden deployment and attacked the Haidao killer hacker with the 'trinity' program and managed to put the Haidao in NWI state. A spearhead is then used to activate a camo marker on the roof, Machaon and a Daleth to push towards the Invicible Army's frontline. The camo marker used climbing plus to get to the gound floor, while doing so the Zhencha was able to discover it and the camo turned out to be Dart. Next Machaon moved up and threw an eclipse smoke grenade to cover for a Dactyl nearby to repair the downed Garuda. The revived Garuda then moved up and engaged with the exposed core fireteam successfully taking out the Son-bae and Mech-engineer leaving the Invincible Army with no way of completing 'Sabotage'. The Garuda then retreated back to its previous position and went into suppression mode.

Turn 3A:
Now that the Invincible Army's ability to complete the primary objectives are greatly diminished, the only thing it can do is to prevent the Aleph forces from completing the mission objectives. To start the Daoying finally revealed herself from camo and blasted her boarding shotgun from above unto Dart and suceeded in taking her off the table. The only objective that the Invincible Army could complete was 'Rescue', so the remainder of the core fireteam moved towards the downed Son-bae and dragged it back into cover. The Zhencha in a final attempt tried to take down the Garuda again with its last panzerfaust but missed and was in turn shot down by the suppressive fire.

Turn 3B:
With nothing much standing in the way, Machaon opened with an eclipse grenade to cover his and a Dactyl engineer's approach. The Dactyl got to her designated building and detonated her D-charge completing 'Sabotage', she then proceeded to destroy a Chaiyi remote with her remaining D-charge fulfilling 1 part of 'Predator'. Machaon then closed in on a lone Zhanshi from out of the eclipse smoke and took her out of the table with his DA CCW and completing 'Predator'.

With that the game ended with a final score of 7-4 in Aleph's favour.
