You may have watched my full breakdown and review of the new DBS sectorial on YouTube. This is my first game/batrep with them.

(0 | 3) 5 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army My opponent was trying to take advantage of the new 10-order alpha strike in ITS9 with no -2 orders subtracted from single combat group lists. It's just a little harder to do with nomads.

(0.5 | 27) 5.5 SWC | 300 Points Open in Infinity Army Druze with LT face-off roll, opt for turn order and specifically second turn. This scenario is a LOT easier to win if you can just capture more quadrants than your opponent at the end of at least one of the game rounds and generally hold the rest of the mission to a draw. Nomads are relegated to picking their favoured table side and deploying second. First game round The Krakot has been deployed in such a way that he can easily make a mess of a cluster of relatively defenseless cheerleaders on one flank, but the Druze have recognized this and sent their reserve--Saito Togan--to deploy opposite him and respond with a combi rifle behind cover. The Krakot's twin-smg's are dangerously high burst, but beyond 16" the modifiers prevent him from hitting at all. With a warcor adding flash pulses as well, this plan is thwarted. Instead, the interventor hacks into the tsyklon and assists its fire. The spitfire remote advances and starts ripping into the enemy, neutralizing the TR bot and a kameel bag bot, before using climbing+ to scale a tall building and train fire on the warcor. The turn ends with him pitching a repeater onto a roof overlooking the main Druze core-fireteam. Advancing the link only to be hacked by both the interventer AND inevitable zero-KHD through the nomad repeater would be a mistake. So the LT brawler climbs to the roof and disposes of the repeater with his shotgun. The link can then move out and user their OWN pitcher/repeater process to land a mark near the enemy intruder and successfully redrum her. Elsewhere, Druze forces move into quadrants. Bashi-bazouk appears, using a holo to strip away a problematic crazy-koala before moving in tandem with the hunzakut to gun down that moran, placing their points in an enemy quadrant to put the Druze up 2-0 at the end of this round. An attempt was made to hack a console, but WIP failed. Second game round The interventor was NOT the LT--it was the Kriza. Angered by the Druze resistance, he hoists his HMG and begins laying waste. The clipper and brawler sniper both fall, as does a pathfinder before he sets up suppression mid-table. The Tsyklon which remained in Druze territory atop a building repositions and eradicates both the hunzakut and bashi-b. Going in for the kill, it descends the building and tries to eliminate another Druze trooper at close range, but the desperate mercenary is too quick with his viral pistol and stops the bot! Saito Togan sees an opening. All command tokens move group-2 models into group-1 and in he goes. A very fortuitous smoke throw ensures that as the Kriza and nearby zero discover him, that he is able to continue into combat with the Kriza. MA4 gives him b2 but he only rolls 2 and 5 in the face of a full-auto-pistol. The Kriza unluckily misses and is shredded by the EXP CCW. Even the zero misses. Third game round Things are looking dark for the nomads who are in loss of LT. Carlota arrives and makes use of irregular orders turned to regular with the last command tokens, to kill the Druze grenade launcher and then go after the brawler LT, but she runs out of good luck and orders. The brawler, seizing the active turn, shotguns her, while valerya goes after another console. 6-0 win to Druze with more quadrants capped over two game rounds, and two consoles picked up.
