For our penultimate game of the campaign Razors_Edge and I did another round of Decapitation at Xiandao.
Yu Jing fireteams are tough to break – it took both Maghariba Guard multiple turns of constant firing to do so, at the cost of one destroyed and the other damaged. Yu Jing fireteams are just… nasty. 2W models with high ARM with all the attendant fireteam bonuses are a hard nut to crack. Razors_Edge very nearly had me when the survivors of his core fireteam got into my left flank and destroyed my Kameel and killed my Najjarun. With the loss of my engineer I was in some trouble – I couldn’t repair either TAG, nor repair them if Razors_Edge got either TAG with his e/mitter rifle thing. I got extremely lucky with a few saves after the Najjarun was dead, though, and managed to land heavy rocket hits precisely at the right moments to destroy both fireteams.
At the top of the third round only Sun Tze was left standing – Razors_Edge realized that he simply couldn’t do enough damage. He could neither kill my Lieutenant nor the Ghulam fireteam she was embedded in, nor the final Maghariba Guard. At that point we called it – a clear win for Haqqislam, and the final win I’d get this campaign.
