Asteroid Blues

“This is coming to an end… finally, now is the time to show our power and prove those NA-2 secesionists why they did a huge mistake leaving our mighty Empire.” – Commander Xun Dao.

This time we were facing a blatant incursion, leaded by a sadistic Mentor, but when we got there… NOTHING, shadows moving between the buildings but nothing we could erradicate… only two suspicious civilians wandering were they shouldn’t.

“Tzun Fei Mowang reporting, suspicious movement on the left, I’m moving forward to intercept the suspect, lieutenant you backing me up?”
“Same here on the right” said NCO Tai Sheng always leading her ferocious Fire team, this time backed up with a Son-Bae Yaokong. “We’re sending the Chaiyi unit to deploy some sniffers, just in case…”

First turn got us no productive results, as we only got to discover a couple mines who blew up, not hurting anyone at least... Those sneaky Speculos… only got two discover them to the lowest level of impersonation.

My opponent had it easy: with several cammo infiltrating units he had most of the table covered and all quadrants controlled. This left one of the speculos do her thing: she moved on the left side, spending orders to get rid of the sniffer marker and the chaiyi, only to pop out some smoke and then getting to it’s imperssonation level 2. Things didn’t look well for the fire team…

“Tai Seng reporting, we have very suspicious movement around, there´s smoke everywhere… wait, is that the Chayin?! Sir, are you Ok? You shouldn’t be here this can be dang..S**T IT’S a SPECULO EVERYONE GET TO COVER!!”
“Tzun Fei here, is everything Ok?! We have encountered and got rid of a couple of intruders, do you need back up? I repeat, do you need back up??”

Turn 2 went practically the same as the first one, thos speculos are a disease difficult to get rid of… she blew up the HMG zuyong covered by smoke, and got into body combat range with the last of my remotes. On the left flank between the Mowang trooper an the daoying, they cleared up most of the markers which turned out to be mines AGAIN.

He moved up some more cammos and two remotes, one which was his datatracker, but not much agression. While doing so, my Haidao sniper took out with a critical hit leaving him without his Liason oficial.

“Sir we need aerial support… we need to blow this sector up. If this creatures start getting their numbers up we’re gonna have some real problems”

“Roger that lieutenant, try and eliminate as many as possible and retreat to the extraction point. We’ll burn them like it is hell on this damned asteroid”

Said and done, I moved up my fire team and while doing so the speculo killed my remote, but Thai Sheng, as a revenge took his cascass as a shield and shot that monstrosity in the head, as it was revealed from killing the remote. After that, one of the Zuyongs took one of his malignos from the back and sent him to hell. On the other side, the lieutenant wanted to do her part and kill the other maligno, but an unlucky roll with an 18 took her away.

Another tied round and after a roll for my liason officer and an extra point set the table for a 6-5, pyrric victory for the CA.
