Asteroid Blues

“Sir our remotes have detected movement around the heating area, seems that the shasvastii reports we got last week might be tr…BOOOUUMMMM”
Yet again the combined army was trying to take over the Pit and we couldn’t let it go anymore.
“Get ready, our time to make the Emperor proud has come”.

Turn 1 Yu Jing
“Listen everyone, do not expect anything to go easy and beware, not everything is what it looks like..”

After setting the table, the servers of the emperor had the first turn. I tried to take out both my opponent’s total reaction remotes with a brave Haidao, but unluckily he took a straight headshot dropping dead instantly. On the other side of the table things went prety well as my Daoying was able to reveal a suplantation marker which turned out to be a speculo killer, and wiper him out with her shotgun.
After that I decided to go for the heating consoles moving my tropos forward: a hulang and a LuDuan with both his holoechoes on the left and a three men core fireteams with Tai sheng and two zuyongs, along with a hacker daoying on the right.

S 0 – 0 YJ

Turn 1 Shasvastii
“Let’s get done with this, we can’t let any of them live to tell the others they saw us here”

My opponent tried to drop a paratrooper in the middle of the table, right beside the middle console, but Tai Sheng was accurate enough to shoot 2 of the 3 eggs, one of them being the trooper and killing him right when he dropped.
After that he advanced two cammo markers through the middle of the table, sneaky enough as to not getting any AROs. His shooting did not go so well, as his Gwailo didn’g get to wipe my Hulang out and his remotes only being able to eliminate one of the LuDuan’s echoes, but his hacker was able to leave a cammo mine, trapping the Hulang to a certain death.

S 0 – 0 YJ

Turn 2 Yu Jing
“We need to make a difference right now so we turn the odds in our favor… we are running out of time, we are gonna freeze!”

The team on the right keep advancing forward to get that side console. As they took positions the were able to make one of the two center cammo markers and end with that filthy aliens, taking out some of the central table pressure. At that same point the Hulang decided it was time to shine and try to take out the Gwailo, but as I expected he couldn’t dodge the mine explosión, liying dead on the floor as the smoke dissapeared and making me lose my DataTracker… very bad news for the State Troopers. The LuDuan could do nothing but hide as it couldn’t see the Gwailo yet with his MSV2.
S 0 – YJ 0

Turn 2 Shasvastii
“If we don’t turn at least on of those heaters on our sistems are going to freeze and we won’t be able to leave this damned place… HURRY UP!”

Seeing that the time was running out, decided to reveal the camo marker left on the left side activating a heater and trying to retreat, but as he did so, Tai Sheng took an ARO at him being able to blast him dead with her MK12. One of the total reaction remotes tried to take her out after that but she was able to dodge and get to cover fast enough to survive for another round. He advanced his Gwailo forward and he called for the turn.
S 1 –YJ 0

Turn 3 Yu Jing
“We have to make it now… or we’ll die trying. Claw… AND FIRE”

Using most of the orders in the pool Tai Sheng was able to shoot a full round at the remote that kept them hidding, taking him out and leaving a free path to the right console, activating it and retreating the whole fireteam with the lieutenant Daoying using both her orders to do so.
On the right side I was foolish enough to let my LuDuan and RiuShi unprotected with the Gwailo waiting for his moment to shine…

S 1 – YJ 1

Turn 3 Shasvastii
“I’ll clean this as much as possible and flee…”

At this point, the Gwailo did his job, wipping my remotes out and retreating to the warmth of his deployment zone.

After the recount, given that he had killed more points than me, including my Data Tracker and controlling the exclusion zone it was a total victory for the combined army.

FINAL RESULTS: SHASVASTII 9 – YU JING 1
