Asteroid Blues

**Prologue**

Interior – Harrys Bar:

Cordelia: “C’mon Joe, you need to let it go, calm down before Harry calls his goons on us again, don’t you remember last time!”
Joe: “Cordy, I can smell a fight in the air, I just feel like something is gonna go down, and soon. If it’s not me if will be those ISS goons we have had heard reports of lurking around.

Exterior: An explosion rings out on the strip, followed by gunfire.

Interior – Harrys Bar:

Brawlers and Druze mercs rush for the door, Security Chief Arslan is seen yelling orders at his crew as weapons are unslung and safeties switched off, well those silly enough to still have them installed that is. A Brawler Doctor finishes slapping on an ice patch to a civilians ever swelling eye and runs out the door following Arslan, The civilian will think very carefully before making advances on a Brawler female again.

**Main Scene**
 
Main Strip – Harry’s Bar 300pts Decapitation
NA2(DBS) vs Yu-Jing(ISS)
Bloodzy vs tazzytiger

After terrain was setup both sides roll our LT WIP checks and ISS Crits the roll and chooses turn order and elects to have first turn.
DBS chooses table side and to deploy second

**Deployment**

Both sides take a very aggressive deployment at 16” or further if skills allowed, With both sides keen to show each other what they are made of.
ISS commander setup strong link group ARO positions early, with the DBS commander setting up trying to counter this deployment with a few ARO pieces in the Brawler Sniper and Clipper Dronbot.

DBS Commander spends a command token to start the game with EVO: Overclock in affect for the Pathfinder dronbot.

Arslan linked up with a shock marksman, KHD hacker, Brawler Doctor and Valerya Gomez, on or over the 16” for the Druze components of the link on the 2nd of a 3 story building, The Brawler doctor Valerya still on the ground near the ladder leading to the second story. Scarface and Cordelia deploy mid board next to a garbage truck ready to pounce.

Both commanders took advantage of having Wild Bill on their sides.

**TURN 1 ISS**

HSIENE LT split fires his HMG against the Brawler Sniper and Clipper Dronbot in cover. HMG Hits but the Brawler and dronbot both pass their armor and guts rolls.

HSIENE LT split fires the HMG against the Brawler Sniper and Clipper Dronbot a second time, gets two wounds through on the Brawler sniper who fails both saves and puts a wound on the Dronbot who also fails and gets damaged out of the fight. Hsiene goes prone on his rooftop to prevent retaliation.

With the ARO pieces on that side taken care of a Kuang Shi link lobs a few smoke grenades onto the rooftop in front of them and follows after them. Each link member popping out one at a time to chain rifle the Druze Link on the roof top opposite. The Chain rifle knocks a Druze Shock Marksman unconscious but dies in return from the Druze Hacker Viral Pistol’s ARO.

A second Kuang Shi link member moves out of the smoke and chain rifles the Druze link again. This time succeeding in Killing Security Chief Arslan with two failed saves and knocking the Druze hacker unconscious. Kuang Shi trooper suffers the same Viral pistol death as his predecessor from the Druze Hacker ARO, Scarface elected as new LT.

The ISS commander spends his remaining orders moving units around the board and shoring up their defense and putting some units into Suppressive fire.

**TURN 1 DBS**

I spend 1 command token to move Wild bill into main group, leaving only the warcor in group 2.

The rooftop smoke clears, and Scarface uses his new found LT order to step out and launch a heavy rocket at the last 3 members of the Kuang Shi link who are now freshly revealed to him with the smoke dissipating blasting all three off the roof.

Scarface takes multiple ARO’s from small arms fire and a Multi sniper in a link team on overwatch on up high. Loosing 2/3 structure before he walks back into cover. Cordelia gets to work immediately and restores Scarface to full STR with two successful engineer rolls.

My Brawler Doctor having heard all the commotion and the cries of pain from the roof above races up the ladder and revives the Druze Shock Marksman and Hacker.

DBS commander uses another command token to reform form Core link of Druze Shock Marksman, Hacker, Brawler Doctor and Valerya.

Remaining orders spent on Scarface who moves around the right side of the truck to put a heavy rocket into the Multi sniper, killing him and another member of the link. Scarface finishes turn on suppressive.

**TURN 2 ISS**

The ISS Commander moves a unit into position to knock the DBS HVT unconscious on the roof above the Druze Link. Several ARO’s from the Druze link and pathfinder dronbot kills the trooper in response.

The ISS Commanders Link team spec fires two smoke templates into the alley to block LOS for Scarface and moves a remote into position to fire at Scarface through the smoke using its visor. Scarface not one to be fired at unanswered pours both MK12’s into the smoke, Needs ones to hit, misses and takes a STR in response, but now Scarface has a rough idea of the incoming fires location. The remote fires again, missing Scarface but takes a face full of Mk12 shots in response, getting the Critical on a roll of 1, Remote fails its save and gets damaged out of the fight.

A Can Ran moves up and takes out Wild Bill and makes a hail Mary rush for Cordelia, the DBS Warcor frantically taking photos of all the actions Stuns the Can Ran as he rushes past, leaving him blinded. Scarface and Cordelia both ARO in response to the threat and the MK12’s claim another trooper.

**TURN 2 DBS**

The Druze Link makes for a higher perch on the 3 story building, The brawler Doctor finding the unconscious HVT, moves into base to base and revives the HVT with her 3rd successful Doctor roll.

The Druze hacker peers around the corner to user her combi rifle on the exposed link member on the opposite rooftop, misses and a smoke round is fired back in retaliation blocking any further attempts from the Druze link.

Scarface and Corderlia move to the opposite building corner and engage two Mad traps at range, the first surviving the fusillade, but it and its companion succumbing to the 2nd and third bursts. Scarface ends the turn in suppressive watching the right flank.

**TURN 3 ISS**

HSIENE LT stands up and he and Scarface have a multi order firefight, exchanging wounds and many armor saves but Scarface getting the upper hand in the end criting three separate times on 4’s to take the final wound from the Hsiene, knocking him unconscious and behind a parapet. The ISS Commanders final order is to make a medic attempt to revive the Hsiene to deny the LT VP. MK12 wounds turn out to very hard to repair and the Hsiene LT expires making it 1 LT Kill each.

**TURN 3 DBS**

Scarface, wounded, taking stock of their position elects to order his troops to stand down and hold defensive positions., should the last remnants of the ISS try to make it through again.
