Area of Operations

A small Nomad Incursion Force was inserted to the outskirts of the Pakngen Hangar Bay. There, they found a hazardous environment and a small skirmish underway at a local watering hole.

Nomad Incursion Force

The Nomad squad was lead by a Tunguskan Interventor Lieutenant, with heavy fire support provided by an Iguana Platform and an Intruder, both armed with Heavy Machine Guns, as well as an area denial asset in a Lunokhod Sputnik with CrazyKoalas in tow. The force had an engineer to keep the mechanized forces in fighting shape, but brought no medical support for the living, a command decision that would haunt them as they engaged with an unrelenting Hassassin force.

Lt before the storm

The melee all started with a bar fight between some of the locals. Somehow, in a way that may never become clear, that fight would spill over into a full scale collapse of the Nomad team. While early deployment was favorable, and the Nomads extensive training and comfort with the hazards of the AO cost OpFor dearly, the tide would soon turn.

An early push by the Hassassin force lead to several dead and unconscious, from both Nomad valor, and the dangers of the AO. Heavy fire support from the Iguana Squadron coupled with the unique challenges of the area of operations caused serious damage as OpFor sought to push the initiative.

With perfect timing, Hellcat reinforcements arrived to punish the over eager OpFor.

Hellcat Hot Drop

While Fusilier Angus, who had been involved in the initial bar brawl was able to end his squabble, saving the lives of several Nomads in the process, just as things appeared to be on the verge of a successful mission, however, heavy fire from the Hassassins tore through the Nomad leadership, killing both the Lieutenant, and the Intruder following her field promotion, devastating Nomad Command and Control capabilities.

With the Nomad forces C&C capacity decimated, the survivors were left with no choice but to make a suicide stand to secure a foothold in the Hangar.

The Iguana Squadron lead the assault, climbing a building opening itself to a multitude of fire lanes to attempt to regain control of the AO. The resulting blasts of rockets and gunfire was deafening, leaving the pilot to eject in an uncoordinated effort to avoid dying with their TAG. While the Iguana was able to exact a toll, it would ultimately not be enough to open the way for the sole remaining Nomad, a Corregidor Alguacile to reach the panoply securely.

She died in an explosion moments later, leaving the entire incursion force eliminated.
