First of all, I have to explain why i have screenshots instead of real photoes.
We met each other in an online chat, and due to the fact we are from different cities had some troubles with playing on the table, so decided to try out the tabletop simulator during the campaing. It was a hard experience, because we had to play without lovely miniatures, but the game was interesting.
To start with, I got a classified objective to make a wip roll with veteran troops (my guailo) complitely on the opponent’s side of the table. As i learned after the game, my rival has drafted the same one.
Then we rolled initiative, I rolled 7, but my opponent 18, so i won and took the first turn. As usual, i set aside my caliban as a reserve model and started deployment.
The battlefield had 1 central building, 2 walkways around it and a way to the roof of that building.
The smallest of the walkways was clear, while another one had plenty of obstacles. I placed my sniper and flash pulse R-drone to be aro pieces on the small passage, and put guailo and TR bot so that they controlled the big one. Then, i placed an M-drone near the guilo, so that when i need it i can make a fireteam of them.
Ikadrons with baggage were placed by the edge in total cover to control the possibility of drop units. One nox was placed near the sniper in total cover as an order generator.
I set my little taiga creature at the back edje so that it wouldn’t get any aro in her 12-inch impetous move.
When everybody were at position, i placed 4 noxes (3 common and 1 hacker) in the middle of the field behind the central building so that the couldn’t be seen from the opponent’s deployment zone.
Finally, i placed Sheskin so that she could go attaking the big passage while being in coherence with that 4 nox troops and declared the fireteam core with them.
My opponent deployed a gao-rael sniper to control the small passage then a kaeltar specialist and kamael forward observer in prone by the side of the sniper to make a triad. Then, on the other flank, he deployed a sukeul with missile laucher, and 2 support troops in prone by his side: another kaeltar specialist and makaul.
At this moment i had a though “oh my, 4 symbiobro pokemons!!”
The deployment continued, so a triad consisting of sukeul hmg, makaul and kamael was placed to threaten the small passage, a rasail with viral rifle was pit to attack the big one, and 3 kaauri sentinels were set to protect the backfield from imaginable speculo killer. The last two where 2 camo markers near my sheskin, and i were a bit afraid.
I placed my caliban at the left flang,and my opponent placed a smoky synhro unit to opposit it .
My rival spent a commad token to reduce my 1-st command group to 8 orders.
1-st Active turn:
Taiga creature just moved closer without aro.
I used 2 orders on guailo to remove a mine near sheskin( 1 was a succesful duscover and a miss), then spent obout 4 orders with my Sheskin to kill the missile sukeul:
1)went closer and shot down his symbiomate, he went prone.
2) went back, got an aro from libertos, 2 bullets in him but he saves them
3) went to the roof, i see all of the triad in the prone, 1 wound to the sukeul and saved the flash pulse
4) placed sukeul into unconcious, got stunned
Then i used my taiga to kill liberto (got killed myself in the process too)
Kaliban moved up, then out and back. Got 5 “discover” aros!! Destroyed symbiobro on sukeul hmg. Then he regained camo.
The last to orders on the main group i used to reposition do that noxesand guilo were as aro on the small passage. Spent two command tokens to reassemble fireteams:
Haris: Guailo, Mdrone, Sheskin.
Core: 5 nox (now with sniper)
And there was a nice surprise: while repositioning, one of the noxes catched an aro from symbibeast and shot it down with his comby rifle on a crit.
Tohaa’s first turn:
My opponent placed a smoke on the small passage, and stareted attaking it with hith gao rael: He killed with 2 orders myR-drone, then with 1 my nox sniper.
After that he used his hmg to attak my massive aro: nox from the fireteam with 2 dice and guailo with 2 dice. Sukeul spent all of the orders on this attack, and killed me 2 nox (each with 1 dice against 2 of mine!) and set 1 wound on the guailo, but lost his symbioarmor. With the last orders on his second group, my opponent discovered and killed my caliban, because it got very unlucky on the dice.
2-nd Active turn:
! spent the 3-rd command token to move one of ikadrons to the first group.
Then, guilo killed the sukeul hmg, and his fireteam went to the central rrof. From there, Sheskin spent 3 orders firefighting with kaeltar flash pulse and Rasail. Rasail was cruel and tried to shhot down my guilo, but nanoscreen is tough and guilo survived. Kaeltar become dead, and Rasail unconcius. It was very hard to remove a symbiomate and 3 poits of wounds.
When the road was clead, guilo went forward and attaked Gao-rael sniper and her fireteam with roket launcer. 2 hits, all fireteam is down. what a nice order!
At this point, the game nealy ended. My apponent was at Loss of leitenant state with no more profissient gunfiters, while i still had a good aro and attakers.
Ending:
At the end, i’ve controlled the tech coffin with guailo datatracker, 1 of consoles with surviving nox and accomplished my classified objective.
It was a great game, thank my opponent for it.
And thak you all for reading this heavy staff from me.)
