Asteroid Blues

Our Aleph forces ran into the gruesome Tohaa. We had the initiative and charged into battle.

The mighty Achilles, our data tracker, rushed up and fired his spitfire at a Sukeul that had our units pinned down with a missile launcher. Being in bad range, Achilles couldn’t hit his target.

So now, it was up to Thrasymedes, with his fireteam to move up into good range and fire his light rocket launcher at the Sukeul. The Sukeul dodged out of the way. Achilles’ bloodthirst grew and he ran up the side, trying to take out a sniping Gao-Rael that was near the Sukeul. Suddenly, a hidden Calypsos with a boarding shotgun appeared right in front of Achilles.

Without hesitation, Achilles split his burst between them and took them out. He then ran across and killed the Sukeul and enemy designated target.

The enemy moved up a triad that had a Sukeul Lieutenant and a Makaul. The Makaul smoked his way to Thrasymedes and jumped out of the smoke to flame Thras and a netrod. Thraymedes’ ODD burned off but he survived as well as the netrod.

The enemy then moved a Kriigel near Achilles and used eraser, criting him into isolation. On my next turn, Achilles raged out impetuously fired at multiple targets. It only allowed him to fall unconscious, putting us in loss of LT. Thrasymedes died from the Makaul.

His Thoakatiai’s killed the Makaul, and the Sakeul LT. The enemy captured 5 antennas. On my last turn, Phoenix blazed his way across the battlefield with Machaon and two myrmidons. He set the enemy ablaze and burned almost all of them down. The heat of his heavy rocket launcher was felt all over the battlefield. With the final orders, our Thorakitiai engineer activated one antenna and destroyed it with her D-charges.

We won 7 to 5 in a very close, very intense match.

The fires of Phoenix are still burning to this day.
