Assembling at least one more hacker for this Hiki
The battleground, with a random armory enclosing the middle of this board.
A very conservative deployment
With an equally safe opposing deployment

Turn 1

Given the extremely safe deployments, not much happens first turn. A lot of command tokens are spent shuffling troops around behind cover and grabbing objectives, with the Omega suppressing on his corner.

Could it get any safer? O-12 grabs two objectives while Tunguska grabs 3.

Turn 2

For its impetuous order, the Zondnautica dismounts and climbs up the ladder on the left, along with its robobike. She shoots at an exposed Varangian while the bot shoots a smoke to block LOS to a Kytta. The varangian lives and the zondnautica uses the smoke to take the console and run away.

Meanwhile, on the other side of the board, the Omega is knocked on his butt by a crit and failed armor save from the Kriza Borac.

The Kriza Borac spent a few orders stepping super far back to stay out of 24" to avoid suppression.
Such smoke, so fast, very zond

Meanwhile, on O-12's turn, smoke is thrown to allow the gangbuster KHD to pop open the armory door, then step in, trying to redrum the Hollow Man assault hacker. Of course, she fails and gets immobilized.

The Epsilon shoots through smoke, pulping the exposed zondnautica, who couldn't get all the way to safety, and is able to wound the Kriza Borac once.

Hackers aren't my friend

Turn 3

The Hollow Man steps forward, twice, finally letting the gangbuster free herself using reset. The Hollow Man then proceeds to get 2 classifieds against the O-12 HVT in its zone of control.

The 5-man securitate link shuffles to shoot the Epsilon with the Grenzer's ML; the grenzer takes an HMG hit, but lives. A securitate then shoots his combi at the gangbuster, but the gangbuster is able to dodge to safety. At which point, the Hollow Man bounces away, immobilizing the gangbuster a final time.

Hero Varangian steps forward to throw a smoke behind her.

The varangian predictably explodes to grenzer missiles and combi shots. This allows the Monstrucker to dodge past the door, avoiding combi rifle shots. He then gets HVT retroengineering before also exploding.

Inside the room, the gangbuster is able to immediately reset out of the immobilization, steps forward to tap the console, then also explodes to the grenzer, who has racked up quite the kill count. Meanwhile, on the other side, the cyberghost prones and sneakily grabs the console on the second floor of the building.

Then, the Razor who had been concealing himself the entire game, charges forward to try and take out the Hollow Man AHD, as Tunguska currently has taken out more specialists; if the Hollow Man goes down, the specialist count will be tied, denying Tunguska an advantage. The Razor is spotted, but keeps pressing forward, shotgunning the Hollow Man. The Hollow Man fortunately fails both armor saves and instantly goes down with that final order.

What a hero. Also, I can't, for the life of me, remember what knocked the Kriza Borac unconscious.

OOC:

I got points for having secured more consoles. I got 2 classifieds, one of which apparently cancelled out one of my buddy's. Liaison officer liaised. Somehow, my buddy missed that I had my cyberghost practically right on top of the console on the right, which sucks. Had he sacked his hollowman to get my cyberghost, I prolly would've lost right there, as I wouldn't have been able to get enough consoles; mebbe I could've at least tied it to prevent him from getting the points.

Did I mention that it sucks I can't spend more time writing these BRs D=?
