Commissar DANIIL (Даниил) transcript Афана́сий “AFONASII” patrol survivor’s reports
The patrol code-name Афана́сий “AFONASII” was charged on order of high command to patrol the area of the Space port sector 47 of the Liberty airport.

The main objective was to detect and annihilate any Shavaastii activity. Speculos infiltration was too be especially monitored.
It is unclear how the incident 0987/76-78 began. The com record allows us to think that spetnaz operative Vladimir spotted a “suspicious orange shadow” and decided to open fire.
It appears according to footage bring back by the assault pack Antipode that devastating return fire took our position by surprise.
00:05:00 after initial contact, it appears that the adversary was to be believed infiltration Combined Army team. Last transcript from MIA Vladimir indicated an occupied elevated position by suspicious forces.

Proceeding with “usual caution and restraint”, Lieutenant INNOKENTIY (Инокентий) ordered an artillery barrage of heavy rocket on said position. Collateral damage was to be expected “but 0-12 will take care of that”.
00:06:00 after initial contact, doubt became to Lieutenant INNOKENTIY about the supposed nature of the enemy.

Closed fatal encounter between a strelok unit and “SU-JYAN” achieve to convince Lieutenant INNOKENTIY that impersonification techniques used by Combined army operative was far more advanced than he believes, “this [censored] would be capable of”.
At 00:07:00 after initial contact, heavy fire from enemy position decimated most of Афана́сий “AFONASII” patrol.
In front of the high number of casualties, a strategic retreat was, believed by Lt INNOKENTIY (Инокентий), to be the best course of action.

Commissar DANIIL (Даниил) comments:
It appears from a formal complaint from Yu-Jing liaison agent that the supposed “shavaasti infiltration team” was in reality a joint surveillance operation lead by Captain Hóng Lóng. In the light of the treaty of alliance that has been signed by representative delegates of Ariadna and Panoceania, the information of the presence of Yu-Jing operatives hasn’t been transferred by Panoceanian central command to our forces on the ground.

We can say from this incident that “it was Pano’s mistake”.

AFTERWORD :

We hadn’t played since Kurage. I just painted my Khazak and wanted to play them. I made a lot of mistakes and forgot a awful lot of things.
We tried to relearn the rule as best as possible but had fun anyway playing this game :)
