Deep into the bowels of Novyy Bangkok lies an abandoned city whose name vanished long ago with its inhabitants.

The routine mission of Achilles and his fellow companions (read: they were searching for a bar) suddenly took a more dramatic turn: a Morat group was also on the same mission.
Drinking a beer with a monkey was not even an option: the blood had to flow!

Beeeer!
No way! Here is the last monkey who tried to steal my beer !

Turn 1 Steel Phalanx

On the left, Eudoros and his guys. In the center, Phoenix and the Officer. On the right (not on the picture), Achilles and the Thorakites.
Almost all the Morats hide around the building in front of Achilles.

With a battle cry, Achilles runs out of cover and kills a K1 Sniper. He executes the HVT (he is the Datatracker) and Treitak Anyat.

Say hello to my little friend!
Grrr!

But a pesky little forward observer puts a flash pulse critical hit on the mighty hero who has to go back...

The Thorakites FO designates an antenna, as does the Myrmidon Officer and her team.

Turn 1 Morats

The TAG runs out of cover and fails to kill the Thorakites. It shoots to the Myrm team but one of them drops a smoke grenade that protects each of them, except Phoenix.

The TAG runs upstairs, only to get shot by Phoenix and losing 3 wounds burning...

Beuarrrrgh!

A Morat engineer manages to reactivate the TAG. Burning with anger, it deals two wounds to Achilles.

Turn 2 Steel Phalanx

Achilles wants to go on rampage. His friends cover the Raicho with smoke and the fair-haired hero crosses the table... only to take a pistol critical hit from the cursed FO. :'(

Bad day for heroes

The team Eudoros moves but he is unable to kill the only Morat on the left flank, a lone Daturazi. He takes a wound from hostile environment...

In the center, Phoenix tries to shoot at the Raicho but takes a wound and dies from the decidedly very hostile environment...

Things going bad

Turn 2 Morats

My central team is left to a lone advanced Myrmidon and the prone Officer. The Raicho (Datatracker) tries to kill my HVT, but he critically dodges.

The fireteam has a long way to go around the building, but kills the Thorakites and the lone Myrmidon. The f*** FO designates an antenna.

Turn 3 Steel Phalanx

With few orders left, the Myrmidon AHD manages to designate a third antenna under smoke cover, and I'm pretty sure to destroy it with Eudoros (MA4 +1 Myrmidon, DA = 6 Damage 13 hits). My opponent saves 5 hits... The antenna is not destroyed :'(

Nevertheless, fine special effects

With my last LTN order, my Officer lays a template on the 3-man fireteam and kills that damn Forward Observer!

Turn 3 Morats

The Daturazi runs towards a Myrmidon but fails his smoke and is killed by a chain rifle shot. The Raicho wants to move and kill my HVT, but it is afraid of all the AROs. A Rasyat comes in and kills the most annoying Myrm.

Then the HVT dies horribly. The Raicho shots an EXP round to destroy the previously designated antenna.

With his Zerat KHD, Renard hopes to take back the antenna protected by Eudoros. But it's a hard way. Two coordinate orders later, the Raicho has been shot dead by Eudoros and the Zerat has been wiped by a chain rifle.

7 (More Designated Antenna : 3 + HVT killed : 2 + by the DT : 2) to 7 (More Destroyed Antenna : 3 + HVT killed : 2 + by the DT : 2)

The game could have been quickly closed if Achilles hadn't be stopped on rampage. On the second turn, I would also have been able to kill much more troopers without this damn critical hit. The Vanguard FO is the monkey of the match!
Good game though, with no certainty until the end!
The Hostile environment rule is horrible!
