Asteroid Blues

Taqeul… This shit is broken on this mission… Blues de Lezo (better known as Jandrus or the kazacat) got his brains melted and his mind collapsed due the taqeul’s symbiobugs…

OK, he, with a list of 18 orders, was clearly playing to order spamming. Knowing I was playing against Ariadna, I prefer not to limit my list to a single combat group.

He managed to deploy two of his five grunts in my face, and in very good places. I started playing and I spent my whole first turn killing one of the grunts and trying to open the frikin gates of the armory (really, if you wanna know how many 16s can get a WIP 14 guy, you should have been there). I just managed to open the damn door with my second-to-last order. So, at the end of my turn, most of my people was in a really bad situation regarding to what the remaining grunt near my deployment zone could do.

Combining a desperado with the grunt, he inflicted me so many casualties. The taagma, a chaksa, the makaul, the draal… Even the rasail’s chaksa was knocked down. It was a devastating turn. Luckily the taqeul was still alive.

And that’s where the taqeuls started to shine, because to the special rule of the mission, he had endless symbiobugs. I managed to enter the armory with the taqeul sacrificing the sakiel to clean it from the ¿marauders? that were guarding the doors. The taqeul got +1ARM on a panoply and once he got there, no one could reach the armory.

He tried everything to enter, but symbiobugs kept jumping and killing people, and when he managed to see the taqeul without being attacked by the symbiobugs, the taqeul went prone behind the symbiobug getting out of line of sight…

So, at the start of my third turn he had only five-six miniatures on the table, so I decided to start using the rasail seriously and he cleaned a couple of guys until we realized that he was already in Retreat!!! and that he hasn’t any command tokens to do anything on his turn, so we ended the game there.
