Lt: This is going to be a tough fight. HQ has called all hands to the Battery. We have been beset by Haqqislam and we must help repulse their thinly veiled land grab. So load up while we’re here. Weapons and ammo only.

HQ: Lt. Kobli, we need you divert to Battery Aplha Charlie 3-7. It seems that a Yu Jing contengent has breached our peremiter. With your recent success against them, we trust that you can handle this inconvenience.

Lt: You heard them gentlemen. Let’s hoof it. They don’t know the territory. Let’s dig in and we’ll hit ‘em hard when they wander in.

Russel: We are moving up on the left.

Marcos: High ground secured, sir.

Holiday: You’re clear to move up Doze. Looks like they wanted the tech coffin.

Doze: Moving up.

Lt: HQ, the Battery is secure and the Yu Jing incursion has been repulsed. We have suffered heavy attrition. Please dispatch reserves.

HQ: Copy. We will see what we can do.

Mick: That’s a no, Lt.

Lt: Mick... I hate you.

BATTLE SUMMARY

I lost the face off and my opponent chose to go first. He deployed fist and I took the half that gave me an elevated position on my right and a place to deploy my Marauders up field on the left. My Foxtrots went high in the midfield and I landed the roll for one HFT Grunt.

My oppents turn one saw the HFT grunt getting smoked and then CCed by a monk. The Rhu Shi put down Rosie. He then made the mistake of pushing it too far forward and my Marauder with HFT was able to ARO back through the smoke and hit it and his DaoFei. Burned the camo off the DaoFei and killed the Rhu Shi.

On my turn my opponent brought his Hac Tao out of TO and killed both my sniper and my 112 in ARO. Van Zant was able to kill his TR bot. The lone surviving Marauder with Molotok put a wound on the Hac Tao and a Foxtrot killed his ninja that had failed to push a button.

Turn two saw the Hac Tao with Missile Launcher get critter by the MM with ML. He killed Van Zant, but failed to gain much ground.

My turn two saw the MM advance up the field to get into a good ARO spot and he killed the Yu Jing model holding the tech coffin. My Desperado killed a Guilang holding an atenna and a monk.

His turn three saw him crit a Foxtrot (after spending about four orders) and losing three Kuang Shi to the MM ARO.

My turn three the Desperado did some great work clearing the way for my Dozer, also a Datatracker, to secure the tech coffin and the HVT. My MM was able to secure the antenna on the right and the Desperado forced my opponent off the left flank antenna.

Final result is he pushed both buttons for two. I held one antenna, the tech coffin with my Datatracker, and secured the HVT for seven.

Final score 7-2 Ariadna.
