Asteroid Blues

*disclaimer still new to writing batreps constructive criticism welcomed*

With the initiative die roll lost my opponent decided to take first turn I decided to have him deploy first and I picked sides

Deployment Combined
Most of his larger models were clumped up to his right side, my left with the exception of a infiltrating killer hacker and doctor worm in the middle and a TR bot on his left flank and one imetron that scattered and ended up in my deployment zone on my right flank

Deployment StarCo
I deployed most of my troops to my left in a building all laying prone including a core link of alguacils and Emily handleman I needed to keep the link alive until my turn 1 and with the fear of a possible speculo killer lurking (he had one reserved model) I decided to deploy a lunikhod
In the building as well for some crazykoala protection/deterrent slightly off to the right of that core team I had a Harris link of riot grrls with Avicenna as well as a warcor in the right side of the board I deployed a sparse amount of models (senior massacre and uhahu along with my obvious lieutenant option (a brawler)

I decided to spend a command token to remove two orders from his main pool it was a risk that did not pay off as he had counterintelligence removing only one order

Turn one: Combined
His turn started out with a infiltrating prone killer hacker moving into contact with the middle supply box out of sight of my links and my right flank I was unable to oppose his dice roll he succeed and grabbed a supply box and moved the killer hacker to his left flank away from the two links and behind a building he co-ordinated a few moves to move a remote up into base contact with the hacker and transfer the supplies to the remote then they both continued to move to my far right flank. His next order was to put up support ware programs on his TR bot to ignore my cover, and then he proceeded to move a camo token up his left flank to get into striking distance of my brawler rifle light shotgun, I declared delay and he revealed a libertos smg/dep This proxied two ARO’s one from a Harris linked missile launcher in good range and one from my brawler rifle light shot gun I opted for the rifle shot as it was clearly outside 8” my shot failed to connect and my brawler went down to smg fire but not before an unopposed missile x2 from the Harris link hit the libertos and liquefied him.

Turn one StarCo
With my lieutenant dead Emily was now the lieutenant (chain of command)with the enemy having moved a supply box to my right flank behind a building I had to work fast to get it back before he bunkered up with it I started by moving a riot grrl link to get a better vantage with the missile launcher making the missile launcher the fireteam lead she climbed the ladder half way up and he revealed a hidden missile launcher that had line of sight on the other riot grrl so a dodge was declared but failed and went on to lose that riot grrl to missile saves so on would come raoul spectre, using his irregular order to step out onto the battlefield on the right flank I couldn’t move further up with him because he would be seen by a TR bot so Emily spec fires a regular grenade and takes out the TR bot with raoul now free he moves to the corner of the building and throws a drop bear out the next order sees raoul peak the corner and aim the ikadron used his light flamethrower vs raoul, raoul hit both times with his shotgun and due to the angle of the drop bear it clipped both the ikadron and the killer hacker incapacitating both raoul managed to stop one of the flame throwers putting him into NWI but still alive for the remaining orders Emily took aim spec firing several grenades taking out doctor worm and a cluster of models that included a slave drone a chrontid and a Unidron both the unidron and the slave drone perished to grenade fire but the charontid remained. I rounded my turn off by killing the imidron that landed in deployment zone to a hail of gunfire from senior massacre I then put cyber mask on uhahu and ended my turn.

Turn two: Combined

With his forces bleeding orders he decided to bring a drop troop in a fracta with spitfire attempts to land in my deployment area opposite a core fire team I declare hack transport which takes uhahu out of cyber mask but she fails to stop it and he lands everyone else changes facing. He activated the fracta and peaks the corner of a building in order to stop Emily’s team he shoots 3 shots into a linked alguacil and one into my warcor the warcor fails to return a flash pulse and dies the combi alguacil is in good range in a core link and passed his shots but the fracta saves them he tries again and again the combi alguacil passes but this time puts a wound on the fracta. He tries one last time to remove my fire team bonuses and this time he succeeded and the alguacil goes down his remaining forces move up into positions overlooking supply boxes
And turn passes

Turn two:StarCo

This turn I knew I had to get more supply’s and a classified or two So uhahu I transferred her to the main combat group raoul walked to the ikhadron corpse and picked up his supply box uhahu got a order and cybermasked her again she then moved up the now undefended right flank all the way to his side of the table only taking one attempt at a discover on the way (from the fracta) she places a d charge and detonates it securing me sabatoge as she comes back I make sure to grab a supply box with her but somehow failed about three times to roll a wip 14 🙁 she finally gets it but with only one order remaining she move moves to try and find some cover albeit bad cover

Turn three: Combined

Turn three for combined was spent trying to kill all of the models that currently had supply crates
The charontid moved for a couple ordersto the Center fire lane to get a shot at uhahu out of cover with a long range plasma shot uhahu opted to dodge, she failed her dodge but passed the saves and failed guts to move out of sight of the charontid but closer to the fracta 🙁 stuck between the fracta on one side and the charontid on the other she was trapped he then spent an order to move the fracta and shoot uhahu scoring three hits and killing her. He then revealed his lieutenant camo marker to be a mentor with a boarding shotgun and moved to a building overlooking raoul out of cover carrying my only controlled supply box after uhahu went down it was a long shot in bad range for a boarding shotgun and failed to connect with no further orders it passed to my turn 3

Turn three: StarCo

At this point I was guaranteed enough points to secure a major victory so I decided to play it safe and speedy using all remaining orders to push Avicenna up the board to the last remaining untouched supply box along a narrow walkway with no line of sight to the enemy and to capture his hvt because my second card was not able to be scored she quickly grabbed the last box giving me two boxes and stood in ZoC with the enemy hvt for a 9-0 victory

Commanderdron_batroid was a stellar opponent as per always always have a great game while fighting him and he’s already thinking of ways to deal with Emily first for the rematch!
