“Alright men. As you know, we’ve recently signed a non-aggression pact with PanOceania. Yes, yes, I know, I know. But they have a green commander, so we’ve been tasked with bringing him up to speed. We’ve set up a war game in the battery fields; show him the ropes. Teach him why Ariadna is not to be trifled with!”
“Hoorah!”

"Alright, looks like they've got a fireteam on the left flank. Set up smoke and overlapping fire on the left flank; Newports Green and Argent on the right. Uxia, you in position?"
"Roger. Got thaim coverit. They sae much as sneeze they'll be coverit i rit paint."

"Negative. He's not doing much at the moment."
"Roger. Will keep eyes on-Ha! Volunteer Green nailed him with his chain rifle! It'll be a month before he's PanO Blue again!"
"Dinnae lauch ye sneaky git. A'll be tastin this paint for a week. At least A wasnae wearin ma favorite kilt. Permission tae leave early an get cleanit up?"
"Negative, Green. You and Raider Tan can play cards or something in the meantime."

***
"Lead, we have some suspicious activity. Be aware; we may have a TO unit in play."
"Team, you heard him. Keep an eye out for thermo-optic camouflage."

***
"Heads-up team: We have two croc-men, and they are deploying mines. Repeat, we have mines on the field."

*Beep...beep...beepbeeepbeep*
"Oh crap"
*Bppfft*
"Lead, I'm out. Got tagged by a paint mine."
"Roger that. Get to the staging ground, have a beer."

Board state, end of turn 1.

***
"Lead, this is Newport Argent. Croc-Man is on the move; he just seems to be checking me out. Hang on: He's deploying mine. Deploying mine in response!"
"Roger, Newport Argent."

***
"Team, we have movement from one of the crocs. Take him out before he secures the Antenna!"
"Damn, ai missed."
"Laying mine."
"Direct hit Lead. He'll have a nice bruise in the morning."
"Roger Heavy One. Good shooting!"

***
"Lead, Uxia. Fire team is moving, firing! Direct hit on Patsy, no effect on the Orc."
"Lead, zis eez Wulf un. Undair fiyaire! Targeteng Patsy-Oof! Oh, 'e got me. Oh, ai am not long fair zis whirld..."

"Uxia, we're about to push forward. Try not to distract them too much."
"Aye."

"Lead, this is Raider Blue. I'm sick of those Orcs. Moving to neutralize!"
*BRRAAAPPP*
"Well, I'm covered head-to-toe in paint, but Patsy is down. Hope she enjoys being Ariadna green!"
"Good work Raider Blue."

***
"Team, this is Lead. Moving to secure the Tech-Coffin-"
*PFFF*
"Never mind, caught Kamau with his pants down. Kamau is immobilized. You know what..."
*Gunfire*
"Kamau down. Hopefully that paint round only cracked his ribs. Falling back; will move up after their counterattack."

***
"Lead, Pluton deux. Moveng to éngajé ze airc... Damn, zey taggéd me. Good theng they're on-lee fiyairéng paintballs..."

Kamau gets glued.
Board state, end of turn 2

Turn 2, one of the Croc-Men recamos, and moves close to the Foxtrots. He decamos to drop a mine; my Foxtrot drops one as well, leaving them in a standoff. The other Croc-Man moves, triggering reactions from one of mines, the Loup-Garous, and Veteran Kazak. The Loup-Garous and mine fail to do anything, but the Veteran Kazak scores a critical hit, removing the Croc-Man from play. With no other choice, the fireteam activates, prompting Uxia to reveal herself and boarding shotgun the team! She puts a wound on Patsy, and survives an HMG shot the following round. Her luck runs out after rolling a 20 on two point-blank BSG shots in a row, and she is taken out of commission, as is the Loup-Garous. The Orc HMG also forces the chasseur out of LOF.

During Ariadna's turn, the surviving Irmandinho is able to move up and chain rifles, dealing a second wound to Patsy while taking a massive number of hits. With the fireteam reduced to three, one of the chasseur attempts to surprise attack the Orc, but is taken out instead. Vassily begins to move the tech-coffin, prompting a Discover roll from the Kamau. Vassily fires the Akrylat-Kanone, and manages to glue the Kamau in place! He spends an order to kill the helpless Kamau. The rest of the turn is preparing for a Turn 3 rush on the Tech-Coffin.

***
"Lead, got another bush moving up. C'mon, c'mon...damn, mine missed. We have a Zulu-Cobra controlling the left antenna."
"Roger. Will move to secure shortly."

***
"Lead, we have movement. Looks Bipandra is on the move. Not sure what she's doing."
"Roger. Will keep eyes on her."

Mine triggers on the elusive Wandering Bush, revealing a Zulu-Cobra, which survives the blast

***
"Lead, Pluton un. Movéng up; engageng ze airc."
*Gunfiyairé*
"Airc eez down, repeat, airc eez down! Movéng een to sécure la entenna."
"Good work! Heavy One, you're on deck. Secure the Tech-Coffin!"
"Roger, Lead."
*Gunfire*
"Bipandra down. Moving to secure-coffin."
*Gunfire*
"Tango down. Zulu-Cobra is no longer an issue, Lead."
"Nice shooting, Heavy One. Stay in position, I'm moving up to secure the HVT...HVT secured.
"Roger."

***
"Nice work everyone. Relaying results to O-12...damn it, even the radio is buggy!"
*Whack*
"There it goes."
