Asteroid Blues

This was another of our 'group games'. We played it at the start of phase two, as you can see at the linked report. Unfortunatly I did not have time to write the report earlier.
I will try to add story content before I publish it, but will eventually have to publish it without any at all, before the phase ends. :-/

We did a 'interrogation' mission.
Three HVT at the central line guarded by two bodyguards each (one Keisotsu Foward Observer for each and then one Wu Ming with Light Grenade Launcher, one Druze and one Brawler Hacker in addition) had to be interrogated and the right one had to be connected and brought to one of our deployment zones. The HVTs were secretly numbered and each side rolled in secret for its target. Other Victory Points could be scored via having uploaded a virus into the local Maja Network at the end of the game (two consoles at the central line 8 inch from the edge) and having remaining points (more then 150, more then 350). And each side had one classified objective.
On one side we had two Haqqislamite Units each 300 points strong. On the other the Invincible Army with allies from Corregidor, also each 300 points strong.

We played on a 72x48 table to accommodate for the mass of troops.
The Armies had seperated deployment zones: From the left flank it were 12 inch deep and 24 inch wide, then there was a 12 inch gap and then the second deployment zone also 12 inch deep and 24 wide, leaving 12 inch to the table edge as neutral ground.

The whole table was dangerous terrain. On a roll of 18+ (except armor rolls) the trooper got a hit with damage 13 against BTS. If failed the trooper would be IMM-1.
You could prevent this by turning of the power through two distributor knots placed on the table, but we did not care.

The Texts between the picture galleries marked with §§§ are my notes.
When I am writing left or right, it is always from the point of view of my deployment zone and KO means unconscious. Also if you see any Retreat! markers in the pictures it means there is someone in that building as many markers deeper as there are (e.g. if the building has two floors two markers on the rooftop means the trooper is on the groundfloor).
