Durgama Takeover

- This is Commander Tcional responsible for the defense of the Starboard battery sectors. What is the status of Portside Battery?
- Commander Chaison here. We're holding enemy advances back, but we've noticed O-12 units approaching our positions.
- They tend to bring some heavy hitters with them. Do you have anything to greet them with?
- We actually do. Our Securitate team hasn't had fun with Feuerbach for a long time and they could protect our Szalamandra. She should be able to withstand what they have to offer.
- Good, deploy her then. And also remember that your funbots are very unfun for the enemy to deal with. Hit them fast, hit them hard.
- Aye, Commander. Anything else?
- No. Good hunting brothers and sisters. Over and out.

Above are Deployment Zones for both Tunguska and Starmada.
- We're gonna hit them before they get comfy on their positions. Szally, you go first. My scanner is showing a vulnerable Hector on your flank.
- Yes, sir!
...
- Hector hit, but he escaped my view. I'm gonna catch him, just let me deal with Shona and her little Varangian friend.
...
- Shona and Varangian are down, but I can't move further. Missile Launcher almost noticed me.
- That's okay, move back and strengthen your position.
- Yes sir. Moving back.

- Puppeteer? Do your thing. Deal with this Missile Launcher so that we can move on.
- Yes, sir. Moving out.
*Puppets move towards the middle and Puppetmaster takes a position close to his mine outside of my DZ*
- Let's take him out.
...
- Kappa is down, we can proceed.
- Good, take a shot at Hector.
- It's not safe yet, there's a Nyoka with heavy weapon.
- You know what to do.
- Aye

- Nyoka is down, we're free from enemy heavy weapons. What's next commander?
- Well, you already have a target, don't you?
- Yes, sir, I do.
- So take him out.
- *short rapid fire is heard on a radio*
- Sir, I believe Hector is not going back up today.
- Well done,

Starmada units have a clear objective. They still act in cohesion and without any visible chaos. Paramedic picked up the one with Missile Launcher and they fired on Puppetbot.
- I'm taking fire here. The heavy weapon is back up again.
- Nevermind, I took him out.

- I see movement - Securitate team reports - it must be a Crusher unit
- *AAAARGHHHH* - sound of burning flesh tooks the place of Andrew's voice on the comms.
- I am tak... - Puppetbot's voice get's cut as well
Crusher took both of them with a quick rounds from his Light Rocket Launcher. While Paramedic picked up his fellow Kappa again. Puppetbots fall one by one until none of them are working and Crusher hids on a staircase, victorious in his efforts.

*2 OP for Tunguska having 2 zones, while Starmada has only 1*
- Szally, what are you waiting for?! We're losing resources.
- I am sorry about Andrew, but the rest were just some bots.
- YEAH?! WHAT WOULD YOU SAY IF IT WAS YOUR UNIT BEING BURNED TO A CRISP?!
- Allright. I'm moving on.
Szally advances to try and take out a turret, but fails. She waits for a moment and climbs the ladder as much as she need and immediately drops to the ground. Shots get fired, missiles fly through the air. Szally completely ignored the turret, but 4 bullets into the Kappa with a heavy weapon only to get stunned by Raveneye's officer and have her armor damaged by a defensive turret.
- Damn! I think I handled most of the threat, but I got hit. Taking cover.
- Coward. We'll deal with you later. Bounty Hunter, whatever your name. Do your thing and take out that Crusher.
- As long as you pay for the bullets, aye.

- I report a remote on the way. What is this light?
- ...
- Dammit, what is happening over there?! Perseus, help them over there

Meanwhile Starmada's Crusher moves out.
- Oh, I see my payche... - Comms on the ABH went silent.
- Spektr, I hope you're ready.
- I'm gonna spray him with bullets.
Once Crusher goes down the stairs he meets a Spektr putting down suppressive fire on the corridor, but decides to take a peek and kill him. Finally he goes down and falls back to right flank of the combat zone.
Starmada ended this turn controlling their right quarter, losing my left (their forward right) 38 to 35. Tunguska keeps control of their whole left flank.

- Perseus, stop being so sluggish.
- Yes, sir. I came here to chew bubblegum and do mission objectives and I'm all out of bubblegum.
And so he did to complete the objective. He moved a bit forward only to roll for some crazy idea of undermining enemy net (whatever that could be) and that was apparently why he was later rewarded by the high command.
- Szally, could you? This bozo is not very helpful.
- Yes, sir.
Some fire from her HRMC can be heard from the comms.
- Sir? They seem to be retreating.
- Very well, take care of that turret finally. Check the perimeter and come back.
- Sir, yes, sir!

One of the Starmadian forces turned out to be a Tian Gou, but Szally never noticed the technical attack on her combat suit. Starmada forces decided that even with their best efforts they cannot win this battle and went into full retreat.
