Asteroid Blues

Deployment:

First the Rodok HMG went forward and shot the Wildcat HRL. After two shootouts, the Wildcat went down.

Now the Nexus Hacker started his Controlled Jump Programm so Ko Dali was able to land near the Pony.

Ko Dali then begann shooting the Ponys defenders, the Moran on the other side of the Board and Sr. Massacre and his Jaguars. The First shootout was with the Moran, who just dodged.

Since Orders were scarce, Ko Dali next tried to go for Sr. Massacre splitting the Burst between him and the Moran. Sr. Massacre went down, the Moran dodged.

Next Ko Dali went for Harley, again with splitting the Burst, this time Harley inflicted a wound on her and survived herself.
Ko Dali now in NWI tried again, this time only going for Harley, so the Moran got a free shot. Now Ko Dali had bad luck, because the Moran Critted her of the Board from extreme range (rolling a 3) and Harley still survived.

With the last order the Rodok Team rearranged. Since the Missile Launcher Rodok was not the Team Leader the Bandida took the free shot at the ML Rodok using her ADHL, hit and glued him into place.

After McMurrough was switched to Group 1 he got last Instructions from his Lieutenant, took his Impeteous Order and moved forward as far as he could. The Alien Camo Token didn't react. Another Movement and he was at the building with the Rodoks.

Going careful (prone), but aggressive he was laying the Chain Rifles over the Rodoks, while avoiding the Total Reaction bot. After some shootouts, while the Rodoks were mostly dodging, all Rodoks were dead or at least unconscious. To get the Umbra, he threw smoke to avoid the Q-Drone and then went for the Umbra.

While he was at it, he tried to go for the TR Bot as well, but the TR-Bot was lucky, saved the hits and McMurrough took all four HMG-shots, going unconscious.

Using her Irregular Order the Bandida recamoed.

Then the Hellcat landed right on the spot out of sight of everyone to clear the backfield of the aliens once and for all.

First he finished of Dr. Wyrm ...

... and then the Q-Drone.

Now Sr. Massacre regenerated.
Since Onyx (only Nexus, Malignos and the immobilized Rodok left) said he would give up at the end of the turn, the Hellcat moved in Base to Base contact with the TR-Bot to fullfill one Objective.

Onyx surrrendered and we were able to bring the Pony safely home.

Board at the end of the Game

Conclusion: McMurrough is a beast. That sums it up pretty well. I hadn't used him till these two games, because I don't like his sculpt, but the Zondmate as mechanical McMurrough is great.
