Truthfully, Rashida Ghali was glad she was no longer in command. Yes, the change in command was maybe a bit abrupt, but she genuinely felt safer after Tarik Mansuri show up to take the burden of leadership from her. The man was a dynamo – charismatic, fast-talking and quick-thinking. She felt better having him there.
As such, when everything went directly to Hell in the final 30 seconds of the firefight, she felt relieved that it wasn't her fault, while at the same time feeling guilty that the first time things were handed over to the living legend they went precisely, perfectly wrong. The chest full of shrapnel didn't make her feel any better, either.

This game started out fantastically for me. My Khawarij/Ghulam/Naffatun fireteam moved up and secured an early lead. I knew his grenade-dropping AD troopers were on the way, so I tried to minimize how much damage they could do when they landed, but there wasn't much I could do there. Still, I was ahead by a few points.
Then, everything went wrong. His first AD trooper landed an died to AROs, with the grenade pack bouncing off my ARM 1. His second one, though, landed and flattened four of the five-strong fireteam. In the following turns he took down Tarik Mansuri twice, the second time catapulting him to a win by dropping him with a template weapon and scoring extra points for dropping a trooper with Super-Jump.
I wound up losing hilariously at the last second, an incredibly entertaining turnabout that I don't know would have happened if we weren't using the fun and mercurial TACOS cards.
The winning shot. Tarik Mansuri was previously unconscious then put back on his feet to go hunting for this Yu Jing trooper Multiple orders later, the enemy trooper was standing and Tarik Mansuri was left in the open. The Yu Jing LT closed and fired repeated shots with their chain-colt, and Mansuri eventually went down due to a failed Dodge and a failed ARM roll (if only the die rolls were reversed...).

Awesome example of that HI’s “impact jump”.
Oof! The Kawarij Link Team. That’s one of those moments where you go “Oh, crap baskets,” just as soon as your opponent says “I’m using an order from outside the pool…”
Superior consoles. Would 100% make high tech phone call on that. Better luck next time!
“Tarik goes down thanks to a failed dodge and failed ARM (if only the rolls were reversed)”. Hah, a lament I’ve made many times – feel your pain there mate.
The only time I faced IA, I deployed everyone inside buildings. Everytime I go against Yu Jing now I am like “….shooting stars????”
