Durgama Takeover

The 351th incarnation of SunTze lead the attack on the Cameliard Guard Post. „Prepare for a close quarter fight against the Panoceanian defenders!“, his voice once again boomed over the commication channel. „Wait, what is this, Aleph?, well, no plan survives contact with the enemy I guess.“

I won the LT roll and made Alepth deploy on the top side first. They chose to go first and deployed a well camouflaged Proxy sniper and Atalanta in overwatch positions. Apart from that, I could spot Scylla with one bot, a AP spitfire Proxy. Ajax was held in reserve.
I deployed a central KuangShi link next to SunTze, my Crane spitfire haris link on the right and the WuMing haris on the left, with the Panzerfaust on ARO duty. Xi Zhuang joined the haris on the right side, giving some protection with mad traps and his flash pulse.

After the impetuous moves where over, the Proxy sniper opened fire and took out the WuMing panzerfaust in one order, sending it unconscious. This cleared the way for Ajax and the mad hammer bearer immediately charged towards my deployment zone. He came around the corner to see my Baggage drone, which turned out to be a LuDuan. It activated its heavy flamer and Ajax, confused for a moment, dodged to avoid the flames. Ajax decided to dodge again to reach close combat with the bot, but failed to do so and could barely reach the mechanical warmachine. He got one wound from the flamer and some KuangShi pistol shots for this trouble. While Ajax crushed his hammer into the LuDuan, the nearby Zhanying placed a mad trap and a KuangShi shot into the battle, wounding
Ajax again. He berserked the Zhanying, was glued and shot to death by the KuangShi. But Aleph succeeded in their Predator classified.

The rest of the turn was used to open the Armory with Scylla and moving on Myrmidon into the room.

I reshuffled my groups a little bit and started an attack run with the Crane link. The Warcor went down with the first Spitfire burst and Atalanta was next. But the Aleph creation turned out to be a shooter too great of a match for the Crane and he was hit two times, tanking only two of the saves and when down! This stopped my attack on the Aleph flank immediately.

The rest of the orders where spent to sneak Xi Zhuang into the objective room. With the help from a madtrap and a crit from his combi rifle, he downed the Myrmidon, dominating the room.

Scylla activated her bot and it cleaned the room in one order, taking out Xi and the KuangShi, but going unconscious from chain rifle. The Aleph forces used their freedom to now move into the room with a Beasthunter and Dart, well hidden under camouflage. Atalanta did some repositioning to better protect the right entry point of the central chamber and a Digger came closer to the room.

KuangShis activated and wounded the Digger who was threatening the link with its grenades, they then discovered Dart, but instead of taking her out with two chain rifle hits, she shrugged it off and killed the brainwashed political prisoner with her bow. Now the Celestial Guard activated and tried to block the Proxy Snipers vision with smoke. Apparently he was too stressed by the nearby Aleph huntress and could only land the 6th grenade. Starved of orders, the WuMing multi rifle sprinted forward and could kill Dart with the last order. But he failed to reach the room which means turn two was going to Aleph!

The Aleph troops moved Scylla into the room who was trying to get into hacking range of the WuMing, but the mighty warrior dodged into line of sight. Scylla now opened fire with her boarding shotgun. The WuMing prepared his Grenade launcher and dropped a grenade on Scylla and the BeastHunter but missed entirely. The WuMing was wounded once. It was then shot down by the Proxy docter in the next order. The Beasthunter still does not want to attack the remaining KuangShi that lurked right outside the room, but it placed a mine, threatening them. The KuangShi dodged to get line of fire on Scylla, but it also came into view of the Proxy doctor and was shot, triggering the mine with its dodge which resulted in a chain reaction that also killed the Celestial Guard!

I had only four orders left, but plenty for SunTze to reach the room. But first he had to run through Atalantas covering fire. He took two shots for the mission, but failed both saves, leaving him in NWI but out of LoF from Atalanta.

He moved closer into LoF from Scylla and she decided to immobilize him, but it was a Face-to-Face roll with SunTzes boarding shotgun. Scylla activated some hidden trojan horse that Aleph must have placed inside him when they reincarnated him the last time he failed his shots, the BTS saves and the following Reset roll, leaving him Isolated and Immobilized outside his target. The last order could not even be used.

"You should not have tried to attack the Cameliard“, a voice, a tiny bit too sweet to be human whispered in SunTzes head. „we only gave permission to defend the Neosteelworks. Now we have to reprogram you again.“
