"They put me in a headlock, and made me feel pain!"
So the battle went as well as you might imagine it would, a bunch of nogoodniks with pistols squaring off against trained professional soldiers were thoroughly stomped. It was a blast! A human opponent really upped the challenge, even though it was his first sci-fi shooty game.
We played lengthwise on a Kill Team matt, I set it up as dense as possible with the terrain on hand. The objective was the communications dish on top of the building in the centre.
The first two rounds saw us jockeying for position, with the first battle event giving my opponent an extra action. He used it well and delivered absolute obliteration to Vos'ae, whose decision to climb up to the rooftop turned out poorly for them.
Augustin Stancil rushed to the stairs, attempting to ascend to the communications array with Lysi Wicked providing back-up. Both found themselves in the firing line of the trained troops and were thoroughly gunned down. Lysi bore the brunt of the attack, luck saving her from a gruesome death but not without severe injury.
Seeing his crew fall to the superior troops, Fabulous Jay pulls out all stops and climbs the verticle wall with Born of the Solstice providing distraction from the rooftop adjacent to the objective.
Born of the Solstice provides a juicy target to the Unity troops and his reward is a minor injury that will see him back in sick bay.
The Round 4 battle event is fitting to the theme of this battle, the clock is indeed running out for the Whispering Band.
Rune Crimson is far more effective at providing covering fire from his rooftop vantage. He eliminates the Unity Lt and a Grunt.
One of the Unity grunts leaves the field to find some back-up.
Fabulous Jay manages to fumble their way through a clumsy hack job while under the fire of two Unity grunts and a heavy. They retrieve the data and single Rune Crimson to bug out. The alien jumps off the side of the building and only luck manages to stave off a wound that would have seen them eliminated.
With the information in hand, Fabulous Jay retreats to the edge of the rooftop. As they leave the array, three Vent Crawlers come bursting out and attack the Unity troops. Fabulous Jay makes use of the distraction and dives off the building, running for their life towards the lift-off point.
As fearsome as Vent Crawlers are, they are still no match for the Unity Troops who make short of of them, then take a potshot at Fabulous Jay. A Grunt downs the Captain but Jay uses their luck and gets back up again, escaping the line of sight of the Unity troops and making it off the field with the information they paid so dearly for.
