    Unfortunately, I don't have any pictures, but I have deliberately set the table as quite flat, practically exclusively with MDF buildings, placed densely, slightly skewed and asymmetrically. Various scatter was used as cover on roofs and in the streets, there were no sniper towers. We agreed that barriers give cover, windows are solid and we don't shoot through them, we don't go in and shoot through holes in the roof, etc.;

    I won the WIP test and I chose to start, Julian chose the side and told me to deploy first. It didn't hurt much, because the two nominal aces up my sleeve were coming in from the reserve and as a jumper.

    I started with the main target in a well covered place next to the edge of the table. My LT was a Taqeul who not only set up his pseudoKoalas, but also got a symbiomate from a Kaeltar for extra resilience. I placed all Kaauri and Chaksa (one in b2b with the LT to feed him more pseudoKoalas) all around him to detect and demolish anything that would dare to fall or infiltrate with my SMGs, flamers and nanos, as well as all the MSV, Biometrics and sensors.

    On the opposite side of the table, on a small building, I've placed the Sukeul ML + Kamael + Makaul triad to watch over the edge of the table and parts of the roofs. I've put the HVT under their nose, covered with a box hugging the edge. Next to the HVT, next to the Objective Room MDF building (8 "x8", four entrances), I placed a camouflaged Igao (infiltration without testing). The other Igao was guarding the middle of the table, and on the side with the LT there was a Libertos deployed with a mine. I set up a Kaeltar near the Sukeul to keep an eye on the Objective Room's other wall, the one closer to the center.

    I left Jaan Saar in the Reserve, hoping for her Inferior Impersonation. Originally I was thinking of giving her Symbiobombs and approaching with her as an IMP-2 from outside the enemy deployment up to the building in / on which the enemy LT would inevitably sit, but in this 16" deploy mission, I preferred to harden my own LT and the ARO Sukeul with symbiomates rather than give myself a one-time chance to attack from Str 13 and let my opponent heal their LT.

    The opponent deployed even more defensively, which surprised me and finally made my job easier. Diagonally opposite from the Sukeul, a Mk4 Proxy stood with a HRL, guarding the roofs and from any AD into the area. The enemy HVT was placed on the opposite side of the Objective Room from the first Igao, at the very door (+4" limitation from the big deploy in this mission), which soon I've proven to be a mistake.

    Closer to his own edge, the enemy placed a Posthuman engineer, a Warcor, and in the middle, at the front edge of the DZ, a Rudra - a REM with Red Fury. In the middle of his deployment he had a medium-sized square building with a roof (about 5 "x5"?) and an entrance towards his own edge. He put six (!) models into it, including the LT, set up like dots of the score of "6" on d6, all of them facing the only entrance. There were three Dakini Tactbots (combi / combi / HMG), Deva hacker, a Shukra LT and a CSU (so, a full link and the LT). There was also a Sophotect sitting outside, around the corner.

    I had a lot of luck from the get go, because Julian forgot or made the so-called Other Tactical Decision and did not use a Command Token to take orders away from me or block my use of CT in my turn. I suppose there was a lack of concentration and a mistake was made, but he may have had some plan with the CTs which fell apart later. I have no idea. I'm sure the orders came in handy later.

    As part of the opening I declared a visit from Acmon, a colleague from the HQ, meaning the impersonation of Jaan Staar behind the back of most of the crowd in "building d6" and an attempt to take out the LT in the first orders :P Unfortunately, a failed WIP throw evicted me 16" towards the middle line of the table and my own LT. I gave the order to approach the nearest full cover and spit out a mine. Then I started with plan B. My cover was the building on which the Mk4 rocket Proxy stood. Thanks to Stealth I climbed this building unnoticed (Julian's fair play call) and fired two Viral Pistols in the Proxy's uncovered back, which ended up with crits and death for him. When nothing was guarding the roof of the "d6 building" anymore, I fell on it with a Gao Tarsos, intending to punch a hole in the roof with D-Charges and get to the enemy LT like a SWAT team in the movies. Did I pass PH at 12? Did Aleph's hacker help? Nay. Gao Tarsos got evicted as well, all the way to my edge of the table. Time for Plan C.

    I activated the Igao standing next to the Objective Room, going through it and opening the door behind which the enemy HVT was standing. Fast spear strokes, two crits and first objective points earned. The opponent was a bit deflated after that (he noticed his mistake late). The Igao put on camouflage again and ran forwards. On his last orders, the Igao forced Rudra to ARO Dodge and leave a possible CC. At the same time the Warcor detected the Igao. The Rudra turned towards the Igao, expecting to shoot the charging Tohaa warrior. With this move, however, it turned its back on Jaan Staar, for which it was punished by Viral's numerous crits and did not get up again. From the second group, I've pulled Libertos up, hit the unconscious Rudra twice, killing it and then shot the Warcor to save my Igao.

    In his turn, Julian jumped near the Objective Room with a spitfire Garuda, intending to get close to my HVT and return the courtesy, but he got into a multi-order shootout with the Sukeul who was set up with a cover + mimeticism + triad set of mods and still over 8" from the Garuda - it didn't get beaten. It lost the mate, lost the level of Symbiont, but on the damaged one it still fired equally well, and didn't get hit again. The Garuda went down from a heavy AP+EXP allergy syndrome. The rest of the orders Julian came in as suppressive fire, with two orders on the Sophotect killing my heroic Jaan Staar and he finished the turn.

    In my second one it all went much faster. The Igao took on camouflage again and moved to the entrance of the "d6 building". Having cut himself such an angle that he had cover, mimetism and great distance he pie-cut out only the HMG Dakini Tactbot and threw a Stun Grenade under his feet. If we're playing SWAT, then this is my SWAT, Mr. Robot. As ARO, he made the whole link Dodge, then six models consecutively both failed Dodge (Dakini on -3 as REMs) and then failed at least one of the two BTS tests per head. Hilarity ensued, the whole group in the room was Stunned after this flashbang :D

    Igao entered as if it was his place, said hello to the goose, stuck a spear in her throat, went to b2b with a Deva and another tactbot, killed both, went to two more, killed the one with HMG, it was mayhem, a fox in the henhouse. From the second group I used the Libertos, walked him up to the door, gifted the CSU and a Dakini with two servings of chaincolt, after which the CSU said goodbye to the world, and Dakini got fixed with a double shotgun blast.

    On the last fumes of his orders, Julian made an assassination attempt on the HVT with AD Garudas, but they ended up well dead under the fire from the well-positioned Sukeul. After their death, we shook hands and finished the game.

    My feedback:
    - Julian forgot about CT at the start and didn't take orders from me. Without two in the large group, I wouldn't have been able to do the Igao raid. I might have pulled it off with the Libertos, but most likely not as well.

    - His deployment was too conservative - the link doesn't have to be all together in the building, the Posthuman Engineer didn't see the entrance to the building, the Sophotect was standing outside the building instead of next to the LT, basically only one model was placed out to ARO (Proxy Mk4 HRL).

    - No attempt to attack my LT, even dropping down with one of the Garudas who would trigger all the not-Koalas on himself, and then the other one who would get only the usual shooting would probably have more chances than pushing towards my HVT.

    - OSS has two profiles with TO Camo and infiltration - both with a boarding shotgun, one with NWI and AVA3. Why in this scenario four such models didn't get inmy face, leaving Hidden Deployment one by one, I have no idea, I would have done it :D
