Game TAK vs Shasvastii

Lost the Lieutenant-Roll, i had to field first and i decieded taking the first turn. (you don´t want to let sheskiin go first and rampageing throuh your ranks)

My Army was a Line-Kazak Core-Link with a ML and Frontovik HRL, a Haris Frontovik-Haris with two Veteran-Kazaks T2 and FO-AP-rifle, HMG-Spetsnaz, two Streloks ML and K9, one Dog-Warrior and two Irmandinhos

All Troopers were set in Cover except LK-ML.

My opponent fielded a sheskiin-RF as expected in a Haris with Gwailos HRL+MSV2 and a M-Drone, a Nox-Trooper, a Noctifer with ML, six Taighas CC, Dr. Worm, two Ikadrons, a Caliban CoC and an other Caliban i had overlooked the whole game..

First Turn TAK:
Impetuous-Phase… Dog-Warrior and Irmandinos just do what they allways, running towards … any time i move in sight of the Taighas they dodged in my direction, getting closer and closer … that´s not so nice..
One Irmandino ran to the Armory and placed a D-Charge.. knock knock… and the door opened 😉 … Gettin inside and plunder the first panoply..
The dog-Warrior on his heels, want some good stuff too, but just found some smoke grenades … upset about his bad luck he went to the next panoply and found, guess what, a HMG… Putting him into Supresive Fire…
Now come on Sheskiin, Come on you Alien-Scum…
Meanwhile one Thaiga was shot by the Missile-Launcher…

First Turn Shasvastii:
Impetuous-Phase… The Thaigas running and dodging around … some got shot… The Caliban aproaches the Armory-Gate and found the right button and all doors opend … what a boring way to enter a room 😉 …
Finding the door open, one taigha charged the dog-warrior, in rage he flung the HMG away and burst to battle this alien-creature… beast vs beast fought each other but in the end the Dog-Warrior overcome that taigha although it uses Berserk.
The Dog-Warrior sufferied a Wound and he transformed into his Wolf-Form.
One Thaiga declairing assault on the irmaninho but the situation was soon cleared and an other taigha was down… At some point the irmandinho threw smoke for some reason which was no good idea from a retrospective view..
Haris-Team led by the Gwailos was activated. Got in line of sicht with the irmandinho and fired with his HRL through the smoke.. The irmanginho died instandly… Next order the gwailos fired to the Wolf… The Wolf dodged once, twice … still alive .. got hit, but saved two from three … still alive … dodged again … haha come on … last order … and the wolf fell unconscious … poor brave wolf…
Sheskiin in her Lieutenant-Order enterd ther room and tasted Wolfflesh … She will regret that… for sure …

Counter
TAK 2 : Shasvastii 1

Second Turn TAK:
Impetuous-Phase… One Irmandiha left … doing her walking and had to dodge from an ARO from sheskiin, avoid playing with smoke because some badass needs vision .. 😉
First order and the spetsnaz moved in Camo in the right shooting position right beside the irmandinha … Fireing his HMG and Sheskiin is coughing blood… man, four dice hitting three times and this alien-bitch lies unconscious on the floor … ha, it seems unaccustomed food can quickly upset the stomach 😉
so, let´s go and finish her off… Spetsnaz moves on, getting in LoS with the Gwailos … Two Orders and the Gwailos is down… next activation and a noctifer with ML pops up… but not for long … he is simlply no match to this badass-Spetsnaz … just dead in a secound…
after this short ahmm delay, the spetsnaz is about to finish them up. both, sheskiin and the gwailos. And here is it, where things starts to change. While Sheskiin was intant send to dead-state, the gwailos just don´t wanted to die. Three or Four orders for nothing.
It ends with the last order putting the spetsnaz back into camo and the gwailos still not dead, and his Dr. Worm was very close to him … bad, very bad…
Second Group-Orders were spend to put the irmandinha into the armory…

Second Turn Shasvastii:
No Impetuous-Phase… all Taighas dead … 🙂
As expected Dr. Worm revived the Gwailos and his Wormling tryed doing the same with an unconcius Tagha but failed.
Gwailos declaired “discover and” to the spetsnaz and they had another shootout … but this time the TAK-Warrior was hit by a Rocket and failed his armor-roll … and burned, and buned, and burned ..
Gwailso moved and killed the irmandinha in the armory … some coordinated-order movements and a nox-trooper occupied the armory… Ikadrons got closer in a new position …

Counter
TAK 2 : Shasvastii 2

Third Turn TAK:
No Impetuous-Phase… all dead 🙁
So, stop kidding around. Haris + Veteran-Kazak T2 activated. Move and shoot … Nox dead … Move and shoot … Ikadron down … Move and .. get stuned by the other ikadron …
Never Mind .. Vet-Kazak FO+AP-Rifle as the new leader moves .. lets burn some things … Move and burn … Gwailos burned to death … M-Drone dodged successfully!! … Vet-Kazak burned by the 2nd Ikadron and failed the the armor-roll… 🙁
Just two orders left … Frontovik moved up and got charged by the wormling… one shot and it was dead.. frontovik was set into supressive fire.. both vet-Kazak and frontovik awaiting now the final battle..

Third Turn Shasvastii:
Ikadron enters the Armory and set fire on the frontovik … ARO from both Frontovik and Vet-Kazak and the Ikadron bursted into pieces …
unfortunately the frontovik failed his armor-rolls… last regular order and camomarker enters the room… and finally the Caliban, enters with his lieutenant-order in camostate as well.
And thats how it ends. Both Camos (Calibans) brought more with them points than my Veteran-Kazak…

It was close, so close … really a shame that it happened that way…
But i must admit, it was well played by my opponent.. ☺

So it ended up with the final counter
TAK 2 : Shasvastii 7
