We played a game of Highly Classified with Extreme classifieds in preparation to upcoming tournament.

Shasvastii barely won the Lt roll and chose to go first so they were sent to deploy first on the side without a castle.

The classifieds were revealed and I found out I can do Telemetry quite easy if I put an enemy model into null state first. Failing that I could go and sensor an hvt at wip-6 but I knew already this is a terrible gamble and potential order sink. To this end I moved the Gwailo & M-drone haris in such a way that the M drone was stuck in a position where I needed to remove AROs for it to move close to the hvt... Well done me.
Then Gwailo completely burnt one TR Zond, took a wound from another, then applied a wound to a Hollow Man ML and took a missile to the knee. Fortunately it just went Unconscious so I put Assisted Fire on the W drone then moved and healed Gwailo with the slave drone. Q drone put enemy TR zond into unconscious but there was no easy way for the M-Drone to observe it thanks to the Hollow Man ARO. Plus orders were depleted. I recreated Haris after moving Sheskiin with her 2 free orders around and passed the turn.

First a Hellcat BSG attempted to make an assisted jump and land just behind my Specops. I duly hacked the aircraft as that was the only ARO allowed, but he scattered anyways, and into the only spot still on the table and not in LoF of any Shasvastii model! Doh!
Gwailo then had a ridiculous reactive turn, surviving Libertos, killing a Puppetbot and forcing Jesus to spend orders healing it... A perfect reactive turn.

The sabotage looked doable for Sheskiin, and would place 3OPs on the table. First an assisted fire was placed on the Q-Drone as shooting 14s vs 8s with the TR Zond is good. The Q-Drone first removed the Libertos and then tried to.do the same with the TR Zond but whiffed!

Sheskiin goes for a D-Charge adventure but whiffs too and is blinded by a Puppetbot FO. She sobs hidden behind dumpster...

I am tilted and take unnecessary risks. Gwailo gets critted by the Hollow Man Missile Launcher. I put him back to life, then decide it's bound not to happen again! It happens and Gwailo is Unconscious and for the taking with Telemetry.

Puppetbots go and kill Sheskiin who rolls 20 for a dodge. Then they Forward Observe HVT 2 in preparation to observing their own HVT at a later moment and the FO puppet falls to a Q-drone ARO.
The Moran FO scores Telemetry on Gwailo, then flash pulse bot jumps twice in full view of the Q-Drone trying to get shot. I see Test Run and do not oblige, so now he has a repeater actually able to close to my HVTs for any Classifieds involving hacking.
The Puppetbot gets healed and that's turn.

Cadmus khd lands and takes out two Puppetbots and a zondmate in preparation to Extreme Prejudice. I cannot remove third one safely as there is the Hollow Man ML AROing. Caliban CoC uses his shiny new Lt order to move through the AROs, then just break the neck of the downed Puppetbot - and survives! He then breaks the neck of zondbot and survives too! He didn't even have to as Cadmus was in range to do a suicide neck breaking, but hey!
I do not have orders to complete any other classifieds so I just heal Gwailo.
