Asteroid Blues

Mission: Countermeasures, extreme.
Shasvastii were ambushed (!) by an even more sneaky enemy; vanilla Yi Jing, so full of dirty tricks it seeped at the seams.

A camo walks around Gwailo and reveals as Zencha, surprise-missing a D.E.P. to Gwailos' back. 3 orders later Gwailo is facing Zencha bit otherwise unharmed.

On the other flank a regular camo reveals to be a Daofei with Spitfire and surprise shoots the Q-Drone, putting it unconscious.

Next to Gwailo a Tiger Soldier lands (not sure which loadout, but I am positive he had a flamer!). Gwailo turns to face him and...

Surprise! Gwailo gets hit twice with DA multisniper, taking 2 wounds and going unconscious.

There is one classified Sheskiin can do this turn. Alternatively I can heal stuff up.
Sheskiin puts a wound on Zencha, taking care not to enter Tiger Soldier's burninating zone. Then the M-Drone goes around and crits the Tiger soldier in the back, but goes unconscious to Zencha's smg.
Sheskiin moves forward towards enemy HVT with her datatracker order and crits Zencha.
Decision time. I have 4 orders left plus Lt order. Sheskiin could just about make it to enemy hvt and have 2 chances to synchronise it. But my right flank is ripe for Daofei and anything else that could show up there. Alternatively, I could do a whole bunch of healing with the Specops.

I decide on slow, steady play and go for the heals.
First the M-Drone is patched up by the slave drone. Then the Q-Drone is brought back online by the Specops while the slave drone closes to Gwailo. Then I spend 2 command tokens patching Gwailo up (multisniper misses the slave drone) and put Sheskiin up against the world with Suppression for her Lt order.

Yu Jing's bag of tricks opens up and a Tiger Soldier multisniper (!) Walks in from their edge. He shoots Sheskiin, who fails her dodge, but tanks all the armours and guts to the left.

The inconspicuous doctor starts walking across the table... After she reaches position behind a bus next to Sheskiin... She reveals to be a he! With a Spitfire! And still a doctor! He shoots Sheskiin but again, she tanks.

On the right, Daofei continues his exchange with the Q-Drone, now sporting Assisted Fire and needing 8s versus Daofei's 10s. He hits once and the drone tanks.

Ok, Net Undermine is the plan for the turn. Sheskiin can easily make it into enemy's deployment and do a WIP test, right?

Sheskiin pastes the Specops with a crit, then the Tiger Soldier, with a crit too.
A Cadmus khd lands and clears two mines for Sheskiin, who walks and loses a wound to a crit from minelayer infiltrating camo dude with combi while she destroys the multisniper Minelayer camo dude who shot Gwailo before and who handily is bioimmune and leaves a body for her to eat later.

She pastes the guy who wounded her, then tries to Net Undermine twice, eats a snack and tries to Net Undermine twice more, failing all four attempts.

With 2 regular, 1 irregular and a Lt order Yu Jing needs to put some points on the table. Luckily, a Telemetry shows up!

Daofei shoots the Q-Drone for the third time, putting it into Unconsciousnon the second try. A Forward Observer tries to spot it and succeeds once in two orders - he needed 7s due to range and cover (sorry, the pic suggests he made it - I had issues with comic strip app I am using and I had to redo 4 strips, I don't want to redo this one again for one text blurb at the end!)

With Telemetry still on the table and HVT: Identity check showing up, this is M-Drone's turn.

First, the conveniently unconscious Tiger Soldier gets Forward Observed twice for Telemetry. Then the M-drone scuttles to an enemy HVT 2, and manages to scan it on the second try!
