Durgama Takeover

For my final game of the campaign Razors_Edge and I decided to do one last Panic Room at Darpan. I decided to bring another goofy list full of mercs and bikers and more than 15 models (with my opponent’s consent, of course).

I had hoped to simply overwhelm my dastardly foe with sheer numbers, advancing under cover of smoke and holding the panic room with sheer numbers. But I didn’t account for (1) a B2 ARO missile launcher, and (2) my inability roll well.

My initial turn almost worked how I wanted, except I lost a full third of my army to AROs. Even the various Yuan Yuan, who wound up with such fun goodies as an HMG or +4 ARM, didn’t actually accomplish much – they all died in close combat against troopers wildly below their skill level, but I couldn’t roll higher than single digits and just got dang unlucky.

After that Razors_Edge just mopped up – he very methodically shot the most dangerous stuff off the board and moved more troopers with Crazy Koalas into the panic room, blowing up anybody who entered.

It came down to one chance – I needed to get a Kharawij NCO into the panic room, kill his trooper, and force a draw. It worked perfectly, at first – I did a cautious move out of sight of the B2 missile monster, entered the panic room, and closed to melee with his final trooper (I had no chance of winning a F2F roll between mimetism and suppressive fire). I closed to melee, and the two CC 22 maniacs went at it. And I kept failing rolls, and got promptly cut in half.

A brutal beating and frankly one that was my fault – I got cute and got got because of it. I should’ve brought Scarface…

But as always it was a super fun game where we both got a lot of laughs out of my terrible dice rolling. Another great campaign wraps up, and I want to thank Corvus Belli and Warconsole for putting it all together. I can’t wait for the next one!
