Asteroid Blues

This was my fifth and unfortunately last game for Asteroid Blues.
It was played last sunday (6th October 2019), but I had no time to write anything earlier. My opponent wrote his in time and he also found time to write an overall narrative for our gaming groups games for this campaign. If I have spare time this weekend I will try to add story parts with my point of view to my batreps, but more important I wanted to publish the game with at least my notes and the pictures I took. This should give you a good overview of what happend in the game.

-----

The mission played was Rescue from ITS 10. We replaced the 'difficult terrain' in the Exclusion Zone with a 'dangerous terrain' (everytime you roll an 18+, except on armor rolls, while you are in the zone it forces you to take a armor roll against damage 15). Terrain abilities would not protect from this.
The 'dangerous terrain' and the 'saturation zone' in the center of the game completely changed the outcome of this battle. The terrain was very very dangerous due to our average rolls.

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).
