NOVYY BANGKOK – JIYUAN PIT SITE – OFFICE AND OEPRATIONS HUB

A detatchment of Ramah Task Force troops refuse to vacate when given an order by ALEPH forces. Attempts to negotiate quickly fail, and forces engage in a mad dash to secure the pit site before O-12 oversight arrives.

Starting positions during deployment.
Top of Turn 1 - my opponent, ALEPH goes. Lots of long-range fire and a few cautious movements to get into a quadrant.
More Turn 1 stuff - ALEPH player advances Myrmidons under cover of smoke to firmly control his quadrants.
Bottom of Turn 1 - I advance on the left with the massive Maghariba Guard, and on the right with diverse Ghulam fireteam. Resistance from Myrmidons on the left, and a Naga Sniper on the right. Naga causes problems for both halves of the board, slowing my advance.
Top of Turn 2 - I've got Naffatun / Ghulam fireteam up close enough to cause problems - they advanced under cover of smoke. When the Naga opens fire, the flamethrower is there to stop her. Takes longer than I'd like - my opponent plings away at other forces across the board.
Top of Turn 2 - A pretty brutal fight. I've let my Maghariba Guard get to close so I could use the twin flamethrowers. That was a mistake. I forgot how it worked - if I got to put out two templates, or if I could attack two units with two different templates, or what - but it worked out OK. Also of note, the Asura died to a mixture of HMG fire and Heavy Flamethrower. We als oforgot the rules for walking on top of silhouettes and whatnot. Whoops.
Bottom of Turn 2 - I make some aggressive advances in getting some points. My Monstrucker shows up and gets my Classified Objective done easily, thanks to Climbing Plus.
Top of Turn 3 - exhausted, we move troops as far as we can, avoiding each other for a bit.
Bottom of Turn 3 - I've lost so many troopers I have difficulty getting anything done. The Zhayedan on the left (pictured above) manages to hold off one quadrant, but the Ghulam and Naffatun can't take out Machaon and others, especially when being flanked from afar.
