A late arrival comes with a surprise...

"Almost a week late... this is not a good start" said Commander Sorbus in his usual grumpy mood at the arrival on the Spaceport. "Now all i need is a good fight", he continued. Good thing his arrival was long expected and immediately his orders shown up on his COM screen:

"Welcome to Novyy Bangkok Commander. We expect you to secure the Spaceport as we are the target of constant smaller raids here... We are glad you are here and we hope you do enjoy your stay here". A slight grin was shown on his battle scarred face and he thought "Oh yes, i will enjoy this mess here".

Immediately the veterans under his command spread out at the Liberty Cargo Spaceport. "Keep your eyes open lads", Sorbus ordered, "I have it in my guts this will not be quiet for long".

As soon as he finished this sentence a scream echoed through the halls: "HELP ME" and a sudden explosion gave them the badly needed welcoming sound for the next battle...
"Nomads... let us teach them a lesson"

The Battle

My opponent Rotfuchs and me agreed on my favourite mission "Unmasking".

Here is a screening of the battlefield as provided by panoceanian intel:

Rotfuchs won the Lieutenant roll (what a surprise ;-) ). He chose he first active turn. Hence, he had to deploy his forces first on the side of my choosing.

Turn 1 - Rotfuchs

"Those Nomads are trying to execute civilians here in our Area! This must not be tolerated!", Commander Sorbus said. Nevertheless, his troopers knew exactly what to do... eliminating the Nomad terrorists and securing the civillian lives!

Rotfuchs started his turn by activating a remote, which climbed a nearby rooftop. Some uncoordinated Fastpandas (or whatever this was) came into the line of fire of the Kamau Sniper and was destroyed immediately.

Then, the remote targetted the Orc with the Feuerbach with its adhesive launcher... it needed just one bullet by the veteran Orc trooper to stop this threat.

Noticing the advance of the Nomad Forces brought to a full stop on the right flank, Rotfuchs sent his Hackers forward

Those sneaky Nomad invaders... a pitcher was shot close to the ORC and the brave soldier got isolated unable to identify his attackers.

As the Hackers advanced, they learned a lesson that isolating is something the 101st V.I.R.D. can do as well... the Hackers identified the first target decoy, but were isolated by the Zulu Cobra Jammer on the nearby roof.

With just a few orders left, the opposing sniper targetted my isolated ORC trooper. Needless to say, the Nomad weaponry was not able to penetrate the supreme panoceanian armor as the actual footage shows:

Turn 1 - Sorbus

Now the Nomad forces got my attention and it was more than my duty to stop them...

With my first order the Kamau Sniper took out the Nomad Sniper... an easy task for this soldier

Security cameras recorded this epic shot from Nomad perspective:

The Echo Bravo was now able to enter Nomad controlled territory and targetted some enemies from a skywalk... unfortunately this bold move was not as successful ... a reverend healer was shot down but the engineer dodged successful. The Echo Bravo went down...

A grave mistake was done by Patsy and her Haris Team... she obviously forgot about that pitcher close by and got isolated... disciplinary measures will be conducted.

Those Hackers had to be eliminated.. therefore the Zulu Cobra surprise shot them.. he managed to take one down but was wounded by the second hacker

The unconscious Hacker was a perfect target for the Kamau HRL.. the unconscious Hacker was killed and the ODD of the other one burnt down...

Without ODD's, the Hacker was gunned down by the Kamaus using his Submachine gun

Turn 2 - Rotfuchs

The Nomad forces started to panic... the fleeing Engineer was stunned by our loyal Warcor.

Another careless Nomad did not survive his first encounter with our Helot (I have to underline he volunteered to join the 101st V.I.R.D. ... any claims we threatened his tribe are completely nonsense ;-) )

Another Reverend tried to take out the Kamau Paramedic but was shot down in ARO... the Kamau Specialist then (in my turn) revealed a Nomad terrorist disguised as a civillian.

Turn 2 - Sorbus

Patsy immediately shot down the Nomad invader aka designeted target

Now, with almost all enemy fighters gone, it was time to clean out the nomads in the warehouse and to eliminate the other targets... The Fusilier therefore advanced.

I had to ease down now as my order pool ran out and i had to take care about Rotfuchs not entering retreat.. therefore i repositioned my troops and handed over to him

Turn 3 - Rotfuchs

Desperatily, the Nomad aggressors tried to execute the innocent civillian... but the Reverend failed and was gunned down by a clean shot from the Kamau Sniper... the civillian dodged this attack successfully.

Unfortunately the innocent civillian was shot down by another nomad, who evaded the defensive fire and fled back to the warehouse.

Turn 3 - Sorbus

Now it was time to deliver the killing blow... the Fusilier identified the last target decoy..

Finally my Fusilier entered the warehouse and cleaned out the remaining terrorists.

With a satisfied grin, Commander Sorbus secured the area... "well done... now let's move on lads"...

The Aftermath

What a great game! Many thanks to Rotfuchs for this game evenning.

I won this game 8:0 with 168 points left on the table. Rotfuchs had 25 points left... Mission accomplished ;-)
