This side is nice, but O-12 is fated to not deploy in it
A slightly modified Hiki; it swaps out the Delta for yet another minelaying Razor to try and take advantage of the unlimited ammunition
Super-heavy Morat list inbound!
My buddy drew the first two classifieds from his red deck, therefore I was, as a matter of honor and courage, obliged to do the same; these were our classifieds, lol
Yeesh, the unsteady cam effect, but it still kind of shows my deployment, with the left being anchored by the Epsilon HMG, Peeler, and Cyberghost to all hopefully slow down/stop the Raicho. The right has the Omega and Sirius team to hopefully slow down the Sogarats and keep them locked up on their tower.
A slightly better pic from a different angle to show the forward deployed Epsilon. The plan is to move him forward to the edge with smoke and suppress to lock down the Zerats and Raicho.

Turn 1

Both the Varangians take advantage of their impetuous to move forward. The left one throws smoke to block the Raicho's LOS and moves up to the wall in front, facing to cover the prone Zerat on the board edge with her chain rifle. Two command tokens are burnt to move the Omega, Varangians, and Epsilon all to better positions.

The Cyberghost moves out to secure the console, then runs to cover. The Sirius FO moves out to secure the console and fails before running back to hide. The Omega suppresses while the Epsilon doesn't have any more orders to also suppress; in hindsight, I did not need to run forward with the Sirius team, yet, since I basically had that console secured, anyway.

The end of O-12's first turn. Super safe. And the Epsilon super exposed cuz he couldn't suppress, hah.
The Morat turn opens with the combi zerat stepping out, slicing the pie, and hosing the poor warcor.

The FO zerat stands up with her boarding shotgun and puts 1 shot into the Varangian and 1 into the Epsilon. The Varangian chain rifles back, while the zerat amazingly misses. The Epsilon uses his pistol to beat out the zerat. The Zerat passes both the chain rifle save and pistol save, to pass her guts roll and drop prone.

Unwilling to risk the forward specialist again, the Raicho opens up everything onto the Epsilon, who predictably explodes into paste. The boosted Peeler in the back crits the Raicho once. Next comes four orders of the Raicho trying to dislodge the boosted peeler. It lost every gun battle, getting crit again and failing 3 saves, rolling 1, 1, and 3. In the middle of that, one order is spent by the adjacent Medtech to revive the Raicho once, only for the Raicho to, as mentioned above, roll double 1s to go straight dead.

Blood everywhere, as the Epsilon had gotten pulped and the Raicho goes straight dead.
Hero Peeler, standing its ground.
Feuerbach Sogarat stands up to try and dislodge the suppressing Omega on the right; the Omega wins the gunfight and the Sogarat fails one armor save.
The Lt. AP HMG Sogarat then takes a gander at the Omega, critting and dealing a wound.

Turn 2

On the left, the turn opens up with a shakey cam following the Varangian's impetuous and smoke grenade!
She doubles back over towards the FO Zerat, who passes its armor save against the chain rifle and deals a shotgun wound to the Varangian.
The Varangian then steps forward a lil more to berserk and crit the Zerat, while also eating a shotgun blast to the face and going down.

On the right, the tucked away Varangian throws a smoke, covering for the Sirius, who moves forward and taps the console. The exposed Sirius bot gets blasted by both Sogarats and the Sirius moves back behind the corner.

Meanwhile, an epic gunbattle ensues between the suppressing Omega and Sogarats. A Gundam battle occurs, with both sides shooting each others bullets out of the air with crits coming out left and right!
A wider shot of the previous scene.
More crits cancelling! Somewhere in the half-dozen or so gunbattles, the Lt. Sogarat took a wound.

Turn 3

On the right, a Razor decloaks and marches up the board to blast the Medtech.
He then climbs up the ladder and blasts the Zerat, who places a mine.
Of course, because he does so, the Razor takes a crit from the Sogarat Lt.
And explodes when hit by the feuerbach Sogarat into a red mist
Meanwhile, on the right, the Varangian moves forward to try and throw a smoke to cover another Razor's advance. She predictably failes
And then a second time, because of course.
Which forces the Razor to try and move forward, hoping to not get spotted. And he gets spotted. So, to try and get over to the enemy antenna, he moves towards the Sogarats in the hope of defeating their shots with his shotgun. He successfully knocks the feuerbach unconscious before disengaging.
In order to get to the antenna, the Razor did have to brave a free shot from the HMG Sogarat, who thankfully misses. As a last-ditch effort and out of other options, my buddy moves in to try and flamethrower the Razor with an Ikadron; the Razor successfully dodges.
Predictably, the Husong trying to cover for the Razor misses all its shots because the Ikadron is outside of 32"

In the words of my friend, "SOGARATS ARE MORE IMPORTANT THAN THE MISSION." So, he spends his last regular order to auto-medkit and bring back the unconscious feuerbach Sogarat.

He then uses the Lt. special order to stand up his Lt. AP HMG Sogarat to crit my Omega for a hilarious end to the game.

OOC:

Hilariously, I didn't realize the Lt. HMG Sogarat DIDN'T have Full Auto L2 until somewhere in the middle of Turn 3, so a bunch of my crits in Turn 2 shouldn't have been crits. At the same time, we know that I did roll some 8s mixed in there, so were like "wutevs, let's just keep going, lol." Also, it makes for a silly story.

My buddy was hoping to use the mine dispenser on the Raicho to take advantage of the unlimited ammo; sadly, he wound up not doing so.
