Operation: THERE BUT FOR THE GRACE OF GOD

The battlefield. I wanted a nice labyrinth of shipping containers, failing to consider the difficulties this would present to my twin Maghariba Guard and their big ol' butts.
Look at these beautiful goons.
The enemy. Haqqislam High Command says there's a pretty good chance - better than 50/50! - that all or some or at least one of these soulless robot monsters is in league with Equinox. Good enough for me.
My deployment. My plan was to send the Naffatun in the lower left up the left flank and use the Maghariba Guard like a battering ram.
My secondary objective.
The Marut lumbered towards the bunker, trading ineffective fire with the pair of Maghariba Guard.
The Naffatun inexplicably landed a wound on the Marut with rifle fire.
Amy makes an appearance!
Then they moved up and roasted the thing.
The Dakini fireteam scored some brutal hits with their grenade launcher. The Dakini got roasted by the Maghariba Guard (just offscreen) but it devastated my Naffatun.
Then the Deva's flame-bot blasted the survivors.
A single Naffatun was left standing...
...then the Sophotect shot him to death.
Then the Sophotect repaired the Marut...
So my big bad beetle TAG shot it again.
"DO YOU HAVE A MOMENT TO TALK ABOUT OUR LORD AND SAVIOUR THE HEAVY PISTOL AT POINT-BLANK RANGE?"
After all was said and done I was in loss of lieutenant and couldn't manage to kill the Sophotect - both Maghariba Guard moved up and fired heavy pistols at the Sophotect but couldn't manage to kill her. This clinched the game for Shamash - a near thing but a sweet victory for him.

This was a damn close game. Shamash got an early lead by moving his Marut in to the bunker - we decided that it could squeeze in because it's really funny to have a 15-foot-tall autonomous mecha stuffed into a panic room.

My Naffatun fireteam moved up and first scored a wound on the Marut with, of all things, rifle fire. The team leader then roasted the thing with their heavy flamethrowers, disabling it, and seizing the panic room for themselves.

Shamash then moved his Dakini fireteam into the room, blasting my Naffatun with their grenade launcher. The Dakini were annihilated by the Maghariba Guard from afar, but the Naffatun were pretty badly damaged. Ultimately the Naffataun were finished off by a Deva's flame-bot, and the last one standing got killed by the Sophotect. The Sophotect then repaired the Marut.

My scorpion Maghariba blasted the Marut into pieces again, then finished off the Sophotect. Shamash managed to get a Deva into the panic room and both Maghariba Guard tried to blast her but couldn't quite finish her off. The Deva ducked a freakish amount of firepower and scored a clean win for Aleph!
