Oof, and absolutely brutal battle. I failed to realize that the wide-open terrain wasn't ideal for my Khawarij/Mukhtar list, and I wound up getting thoroughly shot off the board.

It was my own fault, really. I went first and hoped to shoot the Ariadna troops off the board with superior fireteam shooting, but I was too far out of range for cross-board shooting and wound up getting massacred. There wasn't enough cover for me to move up – I was so used to more “urban” boards that having open fields like this was a disaster.

I had hoped to secure an early lead, but a big stompy Ratnik with a heavy rocket launcher was able to drop bombs on me from the word go. I was barely able to secure a single objective point, but SpearHavok was able to score multiple ones mostly in ARO. I was in Loss of Lieutenant by turn two, which completely shut down any chance I had to try to even the score.

We had a second game this afternoon, and I was able to score sweet, sweet revenge.

The battlefield. A huge amount of open space with little cover to keep me alive, which is what got me very, very dead.
Team photo. There were few survivors.
The accursed enemy. An awful lot of them were empty bases.
Thought I'd get off to a strong start and Discover + BS Attack that camo marker. The camo marker revealed itself, successfully dropped a smoke bomb, and then my Zhayedan got blown up.
A tank hunter revealed itself and blasted my Zhayedan from across the board, knocking me in to Loss of Lieutenant.
The Khawarij had to take a long-shot and got cut down in this open field. I was barely able to get in to cover and within range of an objective.

Meanwhile the Mukhtar got closed to another one, scoring me a single point. I coasted to one point on a tide of bodies.
My sole objective.
And SpearHavok's final score. A pretty clear and overwhelming win for Ariadna.
Cat tax! We actually played in a gaming store instead of my house so I couldn't get a shot of Grimlock or anyone stomping around the battlefield.
