Absalom wins WIP roll, chooses Iniative and decides to play second. I make him deploy first then.

On the left flank the Zondnautica goes forward using its impetuous order and launches a first smoke to cover the way to the antenna. The Pupettactica Company uses this advantage and walks to it. One of the forward Observer of the troupe manages to connect the antenna.

Then the Zondnautica gets cover next to a building and places another smoke near the antenna in the center of the line letting the Pupettactica Company approach out of danger and connect it.

On the right flank the Szalamandra moves forward, the pilot leaves its TAG and tries to connect the antenna. He fails (he also forgets he has a bonus being a hacker). He doesn't want to be out of the TAG during Varuna's turn and goes back in it.
Using Cybermask hacking program with its Lieutenant order the Interventor places himself into impersonification state.

On the right flank the Squalo tries a speculative fire on the Securitates Fireteam targeting the Paramedic in order to make them lost one specialist and their MOD +3. But it's a fail.
He decides then to move forward and shoot with his Multi HMG the Zondnautica and the Securitate from the Ft with combi rifle. The Zondnautica uses her Spitfire in response but both shooter fail meanwhile the Securitate manages to dodge and goes out of line of sight.
The TAG still bloodthirsty focuses on the Zondautica. The first attempt is a fail on both side but on the second one the motorcycle is saved by the cover. Not wanting to play more with fire, the Zondnautica moves in total cover.

The Squalo takes the heavy grenade launcher once again and makes a speculative fire on the Securitates Fireteam hitting the Feuarbach and one Pupett. The Securitate falls inconscious and the Pupett gets Battle Ravaged.

The TAG continues his progress and finally manages to kill the Zondnautica and the Battle ravaged Pupett using his Multi HMG.
Without any immediate threat the Camo Marker which is a Zulu Cobra Killer Hacker on the right flank can now move to the antenna and connect it before going back to cover.

End of turn 1 - Tunguska's Connected Antennas: 2 - Varuna's connected antennas: 1

The Szalmandra pilot unmounts his TAG another time and connect the antenna. He immediatly goes back in his vehicle.

The two remaining Pupetts advance towards the antenna of the center of the table. The Forward Observer connects it.
As for the Szalamandra, it goes to the right antenna of the center line, the pilot unmounts again in cover of its vehicle and establishes the connection before returning in the cosy safety of his TAG.
The Heckler still in camo marker moves from the center of the Nomad line towards their left flank. His objective is to cover the antennas on this side of the table.
He's discovered by the TAG but keep moving and hides behind a building. There he deploys his FastPanda and launches it near the left antenna of the center line. There're a TAG and a Hacker, the repeater should be useful.

On the center of the PanO side, the Kamau Sniper gets up and shoots and destroys the Forward Observer pupett who fails dodging while the Red Fury pupett misses its unopposed fire.
Decided to finish the Troupe the Kamau Sniper targets the last one but instead is killed by the shock ammo of the Red Fury.
Without any problem the Squalo shoots and destroys the FastPanda (note for myself: next time HIDE it!). Then he tries to kill the Heckler who manage to survive nobody's know how and hides from the TAG but keeps a line of sight on the antenna.
The camouflaged Zulu Cobra Hacker comes and contacts the antenna. Seeing the Heckler ready to shoot her, the Squalo comes to thes rescue and kills him with a HMG Multi shot.

Once again every threat has been exterminated by the Squalo so the Zulu Cobra can connect the antenna and gets camouflage.
The TAG moves forward near the Nomads line on the left ready to shoot anything that moves next turn.

End of turn 2 - Tunguska's Connected Antennas: 5 - Varuna's connected antennas: 2

On the center of the table, the last Pupett with Red Fury moves and tries to discover the camo marker on its right but fails. Then it bypasses the container and shoots the HVT. The poor civil dies.
The Szalamandra goes back near the Nomads line to see the PanO TAG, aims and shoots. Magnetic Canon's burst 5 destroys the Squalo.

On the center, the Paramedic Securitate stands up and uses his medikit on his unconscious fellow with Feuarbarch. Manages to hit him but the poor guy finally dies (I should have use a Commad Token there but completly forget).
With the diea to cover the unconnected antennas on PanO side, the Szalmandra goes back to its initial position and gets Suppressive Fire. Future will tell me it was a mistake but... damn you future !

On the left flank, the Croc Man Sniper, who has remained hidden since the beginning of hostilities, reveals and fires at the last pupett but fails to eliminate it.
On the other side, the Zulu Cobra Hacker eleminates the Paramedic Securitate in surprise shot. This allows her to advance safely to two antennas connected by the Nomads and take control of them. While connecting the last one she is finally killed via a hacking program of the Interventor through the repeater of the Securitate. But too late to reverse the game.

End of turn 3 - Tunguska's Connected Antennas: 3 - Varuna's connected antennas: 4

Varuna wins 6 - 1 !
