Firepower Superiority

 

Yeah I pronounce it ‘pasketti’. Why? Is there another way?

 On Tuesday 5\23\23 I had to opportunity to play the first game of our grow league against a budding Nomad player. I will be playing O-12 through the matches so decided to try for some of our achievements in the first game. The lists were as follows.

 

On rolling the Willpower rolls my Alpha narrowly beat his Interventor and knowing I was against Nomads and their strong Hackers I decided first turn was the best bet. 

Placing everything in hiding but my gun piece I rolled a panzer Faust for the Bounty hunter. not to be out done my opponent counter deployed on his side.

Top of first turn

The bounty hunter rolled up to the first corner and shot at the Lunokod, We both missed so no big deal then with a second order it rolled up to see the Stempler and Camo token. after taking 3 shot from the surrounding troopers he was dead but managed to take out 2 in the process 

Then Shona and her linked Varangian moved forward as well as a Kappa moved to the first console then proceeded to roll an 18 and 20. Then the Gamma moved up and took out the Lunokod hitting all 3 shots in burst mode.

Bottom of turn 1

Feeling the burn of loosing 3 Troops my opponent stands his Hollow man up and opens fire on Shona and her smoke thrower but only manages 1 hit knocking her down to No wound Incapacitation. Then decides to shoot a pitcher at the far console to stop me from advancing my hackers to it. Using that opening the Varagian is able to land smoke obstructing the Hollowman's rampage. Realizing he doesn't need Los the Interventor spotlights the Varagian and then proceeds to launch a missile at him in hopes of wiping both models off the board. Too bad The Varagian dodged and Shona was out of the blast zone. Using his last order The clock maker decided to try and get the Stempler up only to miss both shots with his Gizmokits

Top of turn 2

Fearing the repeater a nearby Gamma came to the aid of the Cowering Kappa and took out the Hollowman so that the Repeater could be dealt with safely.

 

Then using an order to hack the left console and then move the first Kappa took the first console of the game then coordinating with his counterpart they both moved up to touch the next consoles. Feeling an itch for combat Shona and the Varangian moved up and dodged a particularly scary crazy koala. Only to have her face shot of by a waiting clockmaker. Not to take it laying down the varagian came around the corner and chain rifled both the doctor and the taking the doctor out and then on the very next order taking a missile to the face 

Then ending the top of 2 the Kappas both take a console

Bottom of turn 2 

Being just the Vertigo and Interventor the Vertigo moved out and met eyes with the Gamma then promply with into standby mode with the Interventor moving forward into his closest zone

Top of turn 3

With only the enemy LT remaining The gamma was again on the prowl with withering fire he moved ever forward to his prey but it was for naught because no matter how many shots he firsed or how hard they hit his quarry was stalwart.

Bottom of turn 3

 The last of his team The Interventor did what they do best and immobilized the brave gamma only to have him reset out of it when fired upon in the last order of the game

End of game results 

9-0 

102-24

O-12 Victory
