Preface

So let's make a quick introduction.
This is the first real game after Operation Icestorm for me and my oponent.
I just had one initiation game with a local warcor beside that.
We are both rookies in Infinity, so there was some rules mistake and a lot of newbie error in decision making. We used some proxy on this game (a spektr for a Bandit, an Anaconda for a Squalo, a CSU for a Warcor, a female Alguacil for Lupe Balboa).
My table was occupied by my wife so we played on the floor like if we were adolescent again.
We've tried to stick to the fluff of the mission and chose the terrain in accordance.
We'll use the shiny MAS buildings for the next one i guess.
And sorry for my english, I’m french.

Introduction

Engulfed in his seat, his feet crossed on the table, looking disillusioned, Lieutenant Dante Alvarez waited for an order from the Corregidor Jurisdictional command. In front of him, inside the Loy Nam Bar, he could see his comrades trying to avoid boredom, drinking, flirting, fighting... He could feel their desperation for action.

They were here in the last operations : Wotan, Kurage, Daedelus Gate… always here, always in the reserve, always put aside. Since that MotoTronica facility raid, and that one skirmish with a Tartary Korp force, nothing… one full year of boring securities missions in that Cosmika HQ in Novvy Bangkok.

But now it was happening here! Just in front of them! He was sure they were going to call on them. A question of time ;

While the lieutenant's line of thought was there, a call rang out on his Commlog.
A call coming from the command, a call to arms.
A smile of satisfaction appeared slowly on his face.
« You made me wait, you bastards… »

The Setup

My opponent won the intiative roll and choose his side. He decide I deploy first and I choose to let him start the game.
The Pano Side

Turn 1

Turn 1 Panoceania :

He choose to flank me on the left with his Squalo, Father Knight Hacker, and Orc forcing my Intruder sniper to reveal without result.
Then he miss two speculative fire on my sniper and my Mobile Brigada link with his Squalo.
And to finalize his serie of bad luck he lose a duel of sniper between his Nisse and my Intruder.
His attempt to revive him, of course, fail.

Big bad boys coming on the left!
Sniper Duel.

Turn 1 Corregidor

It will not be said that Nomads do not know how to welcome people as it should be, so we prepare a nice reception for Mister Squalo advancing my Mobile Brigada link in position between my two Intruders.
I try something risky with, my bandit hacker with assault hacking device, and after a bunch of order I hack his Squalo and possess it. I use remaining order to use the Squalo to kill his Father Knight (Datatracker) and make my hellcat drop on the other flank.

We forget to make photo of this part of the game.

Turn 2

Turn 2 Panoceania

Enraged by this turn of event, my opponent goes in full aggressive mode.

He retake possession of his Squalo and rush with it.
He stubbornly try to kill my Intruders and Mobile Brigada Link. But he understimated my defense.
After some unlucky roll an ARO from Lupe Balboa with a Panzerfaust finally destroy the Squalo with a result of only one wounded brigada on my side.

So he decide to deploy his Akalis Commando on my back, and succeed to make some kills.
After downing a Jaguar, an Alguacil and wound my other Brigada he finally died killed by a Mobile Brigada.

Akalis rush!

Turn 2 Corregidor :

At this point of the game, things look good to me.
My Hellcat advance on the left and take out a Fusilier.
On the right flank I advance with my Mobile Brigada link and chase down the Orc troop and the Bounty Hunter. Both are killed.

Mobile Brigada link chase down the Orc

Turn 3

Turn 3 Panoceania :

Retreat rules doesn’t apply on this mission, so my opponent try to grab some points with his 3 remaining troops before the inevitable defeat.
One of his fusilier avange his brother in arm by taking down the Hellcat. His warcor succeed to discover my second Bandit (Datatracker) and his other fusilier take it down.

Revenge!
They discover and take out the second bandit (proxy with a spktr).

Turn 3 Corregidor :

Time to finish the work.
The Intruder Sniper kill one fusilier.
And the Mobile Brigada link finish the remaining troops on the table with a notable last stand of my opponent lieutenant.

Last stand

Conclusion

That was fun.
A lot of mistakes, and a lot of time lost searching for some rules we didn't remember.
But it was fun and we learned a lot (the hard way for Dlay, sorry mate).
We can't wait to make another one, that of course we will post here, with better pictures this time :)
