Grg War

After the last episode in Chimney, where Shasvastii won against Yu-Jin Invincible Army, they decided to try to push back Yu Jin. The pursuit took place through the asteroïd and bring us to the place of the next battle : The Pit.
This time, Yu jin back-up showed up to bring some support to the retreating detachment. The battle took place in and old and wreck corner of the asteroid. The confrontation broke up when conditions were the worst. The damaged external structure was unefficient to heat up the place. Fierce battle against the Yu jin was coming but main one was against that killer cold...

The Yu Jin had a good plan and were able to surprise the Shasvastii detachment, which only could be aware of their position at the very last moment thanks to an infiltrated speculo agent. When the fog of war scatter each side could see opponent deploiement

TURN 1 YU JIN

To protect his deploiement zone, the Hsien decided to go in suppression fire.

Then the Zhanying specialist chose to move forward in the building (he is on the roof to facilitate the movement)
Given that my speculo was near his right side he decided to protect this corner by moving his zanshi Forward obsoutside the alignement with zuyong and the other zanshi
Then his Zanhing get out of the building toward the console. No one can see him at the moment...
He the launch a nimbus grenade to protect himself from R drone and a possible threat in camo marker in front of the console

He then try to catch the console but fail two time in a row. The r drone miss 2 times and the camo marker appeared to be a seed soldier. He then succeed a discover + shoot on it and the seed soldier goes unconscious.

Turn 1 Shasvastii

My plan was to use my first turn to reduce at maximum his pool order without putting him in retreat. There was a camo token on a building blocking my advance, his Zanhing and maybe some other targets I could reach thanks to the Red Fury Cadmus I had in reserve just as my speculo. My first move is with my fireteam.
During impetuous order phase one of my taigha goes unconscious failing to dodge a shot from the zanhing, the others are able the move forward without any damage.

I then start with my gwailo moving it to the building corner, he is able to see the Zanhing.

Once the Zanhing down, I then try a discover + shoot on the camo marker standing up behind a cover just in front of me but without any succes so the fireteam Haris moved to the center

Moving forward for 2 orders

Then I decided to move one taigha with his impetuous order toward the camo marker

But that camo marker still doesn't react. My pool order of my main group goes low so I need to move forward. I decide to bring my cadmus to try to kill his hsien. I thought it was his lieutenant...

Cadmus came and a ninja revealed himselfbut shot a decoy

After 2 tries the cadmus take down the hsien.
I then have two orders left and will activate my speculo killer

Speculo goes there and surprise shot the zuyong and the zanshi
He misses the zanshi but make the other znshi unconscious and the zuyong take one wound
He then come back to impersonnator state

I've got one regular order left which i'll use to move my q drone and some irregular taigha orders

Moving on, the guilang sniper revealed himself and shot the drone down..
I then converted one irregular order to regular and use it and my most advanced taigha to try to catch that guilang
It worked ! Guilang decided to shot at the taigha but took a wound doing it

End of my first turn. I have no console yet but I reduced his pool order by half which is a good start.

TURN 2 YU JIN

Yu Jin commander had still some good tricks to play.. First he bring a Tiger Soldier (disguised has a Yuan Yuan because of a transportation problem)

Tiger soldier came from the right side outside exclusion zone.
And the ninja KHD move forward
The M drone tried to shoot it but didn't succeed neither the ninja
Then the tiger soldier shot down the M drone and the killer hacker inflicted one wound to Victor Messer

TURN 2 SHASVASTII

Impetuous phase : my taigha jump on the killer hacking ninja. I declare a Beserk.
I crit, he doesn't. My Taigha succeded his two armors rolls !
I then activated my Gwailo
And shot the tiger soldier.

I then use Mr Worm to make my Q drone back online and my M drone too. Used one command token to reroll a failed dice roll and another to reform my link team.

I then activate two consoles and park my datatracker in the middle thinking my opponent was maybe in Loss of Lt

And I finaly succeded my WIP+3 roll for my secondary objective with my gwailo who is in line of sight of yu jin hvt.

I've got two irregular taigha's orders in my second group plus one regular.
I move those two taigha and with my last order the ninja killer went say hello to the zanshi.

Double KO !

TURN 3 YU JIN

A suspicious camo marker move out
And revealed.. The Dao Fei spitfire shot at my gwailo and my Q drone
And wounded my gwailo who failed its gut rolls on purpose
he then tried to discover my speculo but failed
And tried with his lieutenant Zuyong but didn't succeded

It was my turn 3 but I was already winning by 10 points so we stopped the game ..
