    Here at the trailing edge of N4, I wanted to try an O-12 list that I won't be able to play in N5 (and which probably shouldn't be played at all).

    I only have a single actual O-12 model (the Zeta unit), but vanilla O-12 had so many Aleph profiles that I could get to a full army:

    Me and my usual opponent set up a game of Mindwipe on a dense urban table (using Acid House Cyberpunk terrain - super photogenic!), and added a couple of battlefield conditions for spice - "Urban Combat" and "CQB" - that seemed to fit the terrain.

    For that mission and those battlefield conditions, the all-aleph approach was even less useful, so I went and proxied some useful O-12 profiles with Aleph figures. The actual lists used was then this one:
    https://infinitytheuniverse.com/arm...FtgEBAACFqwEEAACFtQEGAAAyAQEAAIWzAQMAAIYdAQIA
    Cyberghost is played by a Danavas
    Varangian is played by a Myrmidon
    Razor is played by a Dasyu

    My opponent brought vanilla Yu Jing, with a Su-Jian and a Blue Wolf as main attack pieces, Jing Qo and a Ninja Hacker for the mission, and Kuang Shi, Long Yas and an engineer for orders and base defense.

    I won initiative and made an attack run with the Zeta, damaging both Su-Jian and TAG, but failing to put them down and spending entirely too many orders on repairing a point of damage.
    The response turn destroyed the Zeta, while the Su-Jian edged forward on the opposite flank.
    We both activated a console; I needed the center terminal, he needed the one on the right side, right in fron of his push.
    In turn 2 I killed the Blue wolf and the overextended Su-Jian.
    In his turn 2, Jing Qo snuck up under Hectors nose and killed the Rogue AI terminal.
    In my turn 3, my Varangian smoked out the Kuang Shi watching the central terminal, allowing the Cyberghost to move up and hack the Rogue AI to death, and then tried to club a second terminal, sadly running out of orders after doing only 1 damage, then dying from dogged.
    In my opponents turn two, his ninja hacker hacked a second terminal to death, ending the game with a 6-4 score in YJ favor.

    Fun game, but I definitely needed more orders. Limited insertion is rough!

    Here's some pics from the engagement; the Acid house terrain makes for really nice backdrops.
