Asteroid Blues

My hsien beats the ghulam on the roll off to force brunmars deployment: Im looking for advantage on hvt placements.
Hsien in the middle, daofei hides on the 1st floor of the helipad building. I build my aro trap around my hvt on the right with my minelayer liberto, TR bot, smoke monks, kuang Shi and a cheeky hsien lane if fire under a container.
We've drawn Hvt: designation and hvt espionage so that makes this a strong play.
Mapping and Sabotage are the other 2. Brunmar reserves a hidden trooper.
I draw hvt retro-engineering(red so it's my only choice), and place my haidao on the right, very safe with his yaozao out left, brunmars hvt is hard to reach but I hope the daofei can score early on using ZoC skills.
I know Leila and the muktars represent a bug chunk of brunmars scoring capability so I know I need to take them out. The ghulam link in the left I don't really want to deal with, at least it's just rifles and flash I have to worry about.
I brought zhanshi ML and HMG so give them a whirl with the 7swc mission, budget sweeper and long range aro might come in handy. I've got strong HI specialists good aro presence and the cube jaeger in reserve if needed. The free FO is welcome in Angus but proves somewhat superfluous and poorly placed.
Brunmar to start with an aggressive push towards my hvt right off the bat.

Without the flash bots cleared I abandon my attempt with the haidao this turn. Impetuous sees one of my monks engage the last muktar. I send the daofei in, destroying a rooftop deployed monstrucker with multi rifle on the way to try for hvt espionage. Using ZoC to hack from the rooftop landing pad. 5 failures and a recamo later I pass the turn to brunmar dispondantly.

A TO marker appears next to my daofei marker and positions nearby to my TR HMG, staying prone I suspect a taureg assault hacker, potentially big trouble for my chances of taking the haqq hvt. Hsien gets a break and manages to DA the nearest flash bot as it pushes up to increase the haqquislam repeater net to cover their hvt. Following the spec fire casualties I'm please to see my TR husong and warcor holding the line.

In my turn 2 I manage to drop the third and final flash bot, now that the way is clear my haidao can advance towards ramah DZ. I walk past the 'taureg' without incident. Planting d charges on the purple crate and the 2 storey tower. Haidao flees the scene, detonating both d charges on the way. My yaozao is on top of the haqq hvt too, but I don't have a final order to try for hvt: retro-engineering.

Brunmar really nails it this turn, 3 classifieds secured, the only shame is the death of fat Yuan yuan, orders cannot be spared for his impetuous order. After many attempts my yaozao us removed by the rafiq combi rifle. The remote holds position guarding the haqq hvt, it will be tough to score retro-engineering now, the haidao will need to approach through a 24" flash zone.

What an exciting game, came down to the final orders I spent ages fretting on how to handle that final classified sequence best. Daofei assault hacker is the hero we don't deserve. Couldn't believe the beating ramah took, particularly considering the 1st turn disaster as the haris fell into my aro ambush (real proud of that one :D), smoke, mines, chain, ass hacker, liberto, msv2 combination deathtrap around my hvt. Ramah still hung in there using normal rolls, taking few risks, leveraging awesome WIP and scoring like the true operators they are, was lucky to take a win in the end.
