Durgama Takeover

This was our second game for the Durgama Takeover.
We played the given mission with its additions. We added aquatic and mountain/desert terrain to the jungle. All the trees, bushes and hedges did obscure LoF and were indestructable.

As is usual I was too lazy to take nodes, so I made us a few short videos. The video you see in this battle report is a collection of these. They are NOT edited, but they will give you a good overview of the game, if you understand german.

Unfortunatly my opponent had a bad headache and it was a little too warm for us. So some of our strategies might seem wierd, but that is nothing against the whims of the dice gods in this game...

Brother Michael: "I am engaging the enemy remote on the left flank. ... *ahh* ... I have been hit by a flash pulse. I am withdrawing. I am sorry, I have failed you, brothers and sisters."

Sister Tamara: "We are all but humans, brother. I will take your position. Brother Arim, Sister Anna advance forward. ... I have damaged the enemy remote."

Brother Arim: [shouts] Still here! [quieter] Oh great, now I am tagged too?"

Sister Tamara: "Now the enemy knows exactly where he is. We need to act quickly, so Brother Arim stayes with us, brothers and sisters. Sister Anna, please gather information about the enemy, so we can determine, who exactly they were, after we have dealt with them. And be so kind and free us from the enemy Sniper and their remote on your flank. But be careful the remote on my flank is active again. The enemy has a engineer in its ranks."

Sister Anna: "I will reengage my cloak and advance. Please stand by. ... My cloak failed again. I cannot proceed until the remote on the left flank is gone."

Sister Tamara: "It will be gone shortly. ... It is done, sister."

Sister Anna: "Thank you. I will proceed. ... I have accquired the data you asked for through the remote on my flank. I will take it out now. ... It is gone."

---------------

We concluded the game after turn 2 of Haqqislam, since everything my opponent tried this round went horribly wrong. The free total reaction drone rolled a critical hit in EVERY engagement, while he didn't even hit most of the time (always one number to high...). It practically wiped him out on its own.
After this we just rolled of my third round, to determine if I would gain one more victory point.

The game ended with 8 VP and 169 surviving points for the Nomads and 0 VP and 50 surviving points for Haqqislam.
