Lakissov's JSA run at Interplanetario

Hello folks!

There's been some interest from across the globe regarding JSA's performance at Interplanetario, and Lakissov, a player from Estonia, placed 8th out of 91 participants in Pulpi tournament (Pulpi Interplanetario ITS page). He was kind enough to post his mini bat-reps in Infinity Estonia FB group, and after asking him, he gave his permission to re-post them here. All of pics posted in this thread and a bit more can be found here as well.

Since Lakissov is not on forums, if you have any questions regarding the games - I'd suggest going to the Estonian FB group and ask him there.
If by any chance you'll be visiting Estonia, don't hesitate to visit the group and look for a game, or contact @Meidjur - Estonian Warcor!

So, without any further ado, here are the bat-reps.

Game 1
So, here are the photos from my Game 1 at Interplanetario. I played Supplies against Shasvasti and took the list with two ninjas.

I won the starting roll and went first. The ninjas were placed not far from the left and central Objective. But the middle was protected with a mine by my opponent, and there was a Taigha near the left one. I spent one group's orders to kill it with the Ryuken. The big group's activations were mostly wasteful, as I was trying to get rid of an msv multi rifle AND the bot near it but the bot survived.

My opponent moved to midfield, leaving left side open. I then grab two boxes and do a melee kill after smoke dodging with Yojimbo and defusing the mine with a koala. Shikami takes one box and Yojimbo the other and they move away. My opponent moves further ahead and kills several models on the way but the Ninja in the middle lives. She then kills Victor Messer, recamoes and goes to kill the only remaining specialist in melee (which also completes my Predator classified objective). In last turn, the one remaining specialist, which was a camo before, takes the last objective but dies to the second mine I had placed with a Ryuken.

I win 9-2, missing only the point for last Objective.

Game 2
Here are the photos from my Game 2 at Interplanetario.

We were playing Hunting Party, and my opponent was Tunguska with hollowmen. He got first turn, came to my Keisotsu link leader with a Jammer and isolated him. The hollowmen link then approached my table side and started killing things. I do manage to kill one of them with a blast from missile launcher but a doctor comes up and heals him back up. They then take defensive positions in midfield. Yojimbo, a Ryuken, a baggage bot and a ninja who I shouldn't have revealed are killed.

I spend four orders from small group killing the heckler and then start moving Karakuri. At one point I miss a position where a hollowman Veteran will have LOS to her, lose the ftf roll versus ADHL and am immobilized. I then just move my Shikami over the table to his leutenant, getting blinded in the process. I forgot also to suicide my Leutenant by jumping off the roof top with leutenant order. This mistake allows my opponent to hunt down the Leutenant, also killing the rest of Keisotsus. I then try to hunt down his Leutenant but fail. Last turn is just cleaning up for my opponent.

The game result is that I lost 8-0.

Game 3
So, it is now the second day of Interplanetario, and we have just finished playing Game 3.

I was playing Unmasking on this horrible table (and deployment zones are saturation and low visibility) against Varuna. Thankfully, I won the starting roll and so was able to choose the side where I can cover two antennas with ARO from deployment zone, and my opponent can't.

Varuna took first turn and on the first order did a movement where Karakuri was able to see a missile launcher fussulier while he wasn't the link leader. I managed to roll low enough to get him unconscious. Sniper then made the Karakuri withdraw. The doctor spec ops went to heal him and had to use all four command tokens, but thankfully the fifth roll (with wip 15!) was successful. Then he revealed cutter and inflicted a wound on Karakuri and killed my missile launcher and flash pulse bot. Out of orders, he retreated and recamoed.


I then put a smoke with Yojimbo to cover the corner near the cutter and the three HVTs of varuna, who are bundled together. A hacker from small group goes and activates the two antennas, revealing the Designated Target and one decoy. Shikami data tracker then moves to the HVTs, though the smoke and exits on the other side, with no models seeing him. Except the assault hacker who is hidden nearby. I kill the designated Target but not the decoy. He fails to isolate me. I try to kill him with killer hacker but fail. Shikami then just moves away, killing the decoy in the process and getting immobilized. He did manage to kill the Shikami in second turn, and I don't do much in second turn (tried to move the Karakuri to body block my Designated Target but failed), but we don't have time for turn 3. I decide to be generous, and we agree that he would kill the designated Target with his cutter if we had time, so we write score as 8-3, a victory for me.

Game 4
Here are the photos from my Interplanetario Game 4.

It was Highly Classified, and I was playing against vanilla Ariandna. The classified objectives were the same for all players in the event: Data Scan, Kidnapping, Test Run, Inoculation. The Ariadna has no robots or hackers, and so has no chance for Data Scan or Test Run. I rolled Net Undermine and so took the list with a Shikami (he is Elite and can do both my secret objective and the Kidnapping).

I chose the side with more cover and my opponent went first. I positioned Shikami and Karakuri for a late game run to HVT and covered approaches to mine with mines and a missile launcher.

Ariadna went for a run with dog warrior and killed a bot, a koala and Keisotsu link leader with grenade but went unconscious to missile ARO and two mines. Then others moved in, killing a Keisotsu on the way and getting btb to my HVT.

I killed that guy with Ryuken in my turn. Ninja appeared and completed Data Scan against unconscious dog from third attempt. Karakuri and Ryuken went into Suppressive.

Then ryuken shone in ARO, killing two models who were trying to get to my HVT. A Libertos died to a mine. I lost no models and started my turn, eliminating some speed bumps with second group Ryuken, moving Karakuri closer and moving Shikami deep to enemy territory inside a building and completing my secret objective.

Ariadna again moves models to my HVT and Ryuken keeps being a nuisance, killing one, putting mines, passing three armor saves in a row etc. My opponent succeeds in only one FO roll against my HVT.

I then diffuse a mine with second group Ryuken (he dies) and use the orders on a Karakuri to move in and make two FO rolls against his HVT. Shikami moves btb with HVT but fails to synchronize during two rolls. Game ends with an 8-0 victory for me.

Game 5

Yesterday's last game at Interplanetario was the overall Game 5. The scenario was Firefight and I was playing against vanilla nomads.

My opponent took first turn, so I chose the side with a good building to hide my Leutenant.

In first turn, he destroys my missile launcher, takes a few things from panoplies, moves the TR bot up and kills the Ryuken positioned to kill that bot next turn.

I then sacrifice a second group ninja to kill the bot, freeing the way for Karakuri. She moves up, kills the intruder, kills a morlock, then tries to kill a Jaguar but gets glued instead. The biggest mistake here is that I didn't finish the Intruder - I didn't notice that his medic's bot was nearby.

He heals things back and moves into my territory. I then do several stupid things and lose Shikami and second Ninja, while killing the TR bot again. He heals it again and continues moving in. In last turn, I revive the Shikami and complete a Classified Objective. I also have Secure HVT and my opponent completed both of his. But he killed more points and more specialists, so I lose 7-2.

Game 6
Today there was only one game, Interplanetario Game 6.

The scenario was Frostbyte, and I was playing against TAK. I took the same list as all previous games, the one without the TAG.

I won the starting roll and took the side with more cover and better view of Consoles. My opponent started.

His dog warriors advanced under cover of smoke, and one killed the ryuken that I was planning to use for Sabotage classified objective. The other one suffered a wound from the Karakuri by placing the smoke dodge wrongly. He decided to retreat and suffered another wound.

I then go on a rampage with the Karakuri, killing both dogs and an Irmandinho. The second one manages to smoke dodge. I reveal the second group ninja and kill him, then recamo.

My opponent starts to have difficulties. He tries to kill the Ninja but she dodges into total cover. He then takes Karakuri into dogged, then suffers a wound on the HMG and gets back, not willing to risk more. A Strelok with SMG tries his luck but dies.

In my turn, I turn on both heaters in my side, create a smoke screen with Yojimbo and move Shikami data tracker over to the center and also kill one more SMG Strelok. The Ninja in the center recamoes and retreats

He tries to kill her again but she dodges into total cover. He heals the Strelok and retreats a bit.

In last turn, I move Yojimbo over to the heater that he had activated and destroy it (throwing smoke on the way). This means that in the end of the game the killing cold will kill all Ariadna models except Veteran Kazak HMG and the data tracker. I then spend four orders speculative firing smoke (two templates) and with remaining three orders get over to his data tracker (killing an antipode on the way) and kill the data tracker. 10-0 victory for me.
