Battle breakdown:

YJ first turn:
Yu Jing decides to take advantage of the position of the enemy HVT and shifts the Shang Ji over to fire. Though it isn’t a favourable shot, he has three shots total, and hits with 2. The HVT is thus killed by the Yu Jing datatracker. Next, the Yu Jing commander shifts over the Haidao Sniper to provoke and potentially discover the camo marker on the left flank. The Camo marker reveals as a Caliban and fires a light rocket launcher at the Haidao but misses. The haidao then peeks from cover, shoots and kills the Caliban. The Haidao is then moved to attempt and discover a camo token and succeeds, revealing that it was nothing. The Yu Jing commander then moves Wild Bill (Contender) to the building in the middle to discover and potentially shoot the camo marker. The camo marker reveals as a “Shrouded Hacker” and deploys an anti-personnel mine, not opposing Wild Bill’s MULTI Pistols and though they hit home, armour took it.

CA first turn:
Combined Army begins by moving the Gwailo Lieutenant up the board to target the Shang Ji without cover, but is intercepted by YJ’s camoed Zhencha FO and the Zhencha FO got wounded. The Gwailo Lieutenant proceeds to move out of sight for the Zhencha and still able to shoot the Shang Ji with a Heavy Rocket Launcher and hits, downs but does not kill the Shang Ji. The Gwailo proceeds to shoot the Haidao as well, wounding it but not killing it. Thus, the Haidao is now in NWI.

YJ second turn:
Yu Jing immediately utilizes the Zhencha to outflank and kill the Gwailo with most of his orders. With the remaining orders, the Yu Jing commander moves the Zhencha to the building on the left flank in the CA deployment zone, in cover behind some crates.

CA second turn:
The Combined Army commander moves a camo token to outflank the Zhencha with a surprise boarding shotgun shot and the Zhencha survives, revealing a Shrouded (not hacker). Another attempt (this time not in marker state) kills the Zhencha. Afterwards, the Combined Army commander moves the Shrouded Hacker to place another Anit-Personnel Mine closer to Wild Bill.

YJ third turn:
Yu Jing utilizes Wild Bill as the sacrificial lamb and provokes the anti-personnel mine in front, dying as a result. The Haidao shifts over and how has a clear line of sight with three shots in not too great range. The Shrouded Hacker returns fire with a combi rifle, but is killed. At this point, the Combined Army commander declares surrender.
