Operation Walrus: The Amir and the Khawarij Assault Chalcis Theme Park Part 2
Deployment:
Task Force 29 quickly advanced into the theme park after whiping out the initial defense. Tarik and the Khawarij remained on the left flank, as Asil and her team moved further right with the rafiq's and fanous remotes. Sekhmet taking lead of the force and the CSU continueing to follow, documenting any damage caused. Arrayed ahead of them though was a second line of defense of Nomads. A Gator held the right flank with a Stygmata, backed up by a zondbot attached to a Monstrucker. A Salamndra hid in the back waiting, while the left flank was a group of Uberfallcommando, but these lay right under the sights of Haley, and Neema, the twin Missile Launchers.
Turn 1:
The Nomads wasted no time as a Heckler ran up into the center of the line, tossing out a Fast Panda into the middle of Asils team. While the Heckler was gunned down, the Salamandra's pilot disembarked and began using Trinity on Haroun. The Hacker worked feverishly setting up firewalls, and trying to fight off the quantronic intrusion, after a few moments though his eyes rolled back and he collapsed. There was no time to check on him though as Ein-213 beeped, the remote was being quantronically assaulted as well. Thankfully its firewalls held. The Gator moved to a better covering position, and launched two mines on the path towards it, and began suppressing.
Sekhmet roared towards the Nomads, beginning the offensive. Mau loped beside her, and went charging around a utility building. While the cat was able to dodge the mine that exploded, the Gator supressing the alley was more accurate. Rounds impacted into the thick hide of the beast, and it collapsed. Sekhmet quickly veered to the side, "Hey Amir! Take care of this thing!"
"We are already advancing, do not do anything rash!" Tarik responded, the Khawarij already running up the alley.
They got to the structure quickly, and Tarik began trading shots with the Gator, wounding each other, but not progressing.
"Ugh! I have an idea! I hope you can take advantage." Sekhmet said before screaming out from cover around the building.
She took a smoke grenade out and tossed it down the street, covering the khawarij as rounds hit her and the bike, tossing her to the pavement. With a thud, she slid and rolled into a banner board, knocking her out of the fight. Tarik cursed under his breath as he saw the action, but knew it was his teams chance. Pulling his giant scimitar, Rashid and Khadim did the same, as they raced into the smoke. Qadim and Rashid broke from the smoke, their scimitars flashing in the light as they cut into the TAG, severing its legs, and driving them deep into the torso. They quickly sheathed their blades, and darted behind the same billboard that Sekhmet fell. Qadim did a quick medical check found her stable but too far gone to assist in battle. He tagged her quantronically for evacuation and moved with the rest of the team.
On the right flank, the Rafiqs moved forward, Rafiq-002 connected to and synchronized with a console of interest. The data they found was huge, but too much to decipher on the field. The remote set up a tunnel to the adh-Dhib for review, and moved to the corner of a giant structure, getting sight on the Uberfallcommandos. It quickly set a quantronic spotlight on the chimera, and relayed information to the shaytaniya. A rocket suddenly shot into the air, a trail of smoke showing where it was going. It arced over head and slammed down directly onto the chimera.
Turn 2:
The Salamandra took point of the Nomad forces as it leaped up on a roof, giving it visibility to Tarik hiding behind the billboard, and catching the Amir unaware. The HRMC blasted and knocked him to the ground. The Stygmata then took an offensive path, coming around the building that Rashid and Qadim were taking cover behind, both tried ot dodge the TAG's weapons, the heavy rocket launcher fired continouesly impacting first Rashid and then Qadim putting them down.
With the path open, the Salamander advanced, its HRMC spinning up again as it got site of Ein-213. The remote tried to tag the TAG but got its leg shot out before it had a chance. Seeing what was happening, Neema raised her missile launcher, and hunkered down behind a half wall, waiting. It was not long before the TAG stepped out from the corner, raising its heavy weapon, but it never had a chance as the armor piercing, explosive rocket impacted directly in its chest, cutting through the armor, and exploding. The TAG was decimated. The Stygmata then began moving out towards a console, passing across a narrow alley, but this did not get passed Haley's keen eyes as she quickly aimed and fired her missile launcher. The rocket streaked down the alley, between buildings, and impacted into the TAG's armored shoulders, knocking it off balance but not out of the fight. A Fanous also tried to contest the TAG's advance as it tried overloading its optics. While it was unsuccessfull, the Stygmata was unable to land its own weaponry as well. With time and resources running out, the remote pilote thought it best to simply access the consol and begin tunneling the data and ignore the Fanous remotes. While the pilot was successfull, the TAG temporarily lost its optics. A zondbot attempted to run the gap the TAG did, but Haley's missile obliterated it. With all options exhausted, and their defense forces all but depleted, the Nomads quickly began to withdraw from the field, allowing the RTF forces to push forward.
Conclusion:
While the Nomad player played a bit more seriously, he was hit with more aggression and speed than he thought was possible, along with a lucky Missile Launcher crit on the Salamander which he only made 1 save from, putting it fully to dead and not giving his engineer a chance to fix it. The Khawarij were able to get 2 of the haris on the Gator in smoke, and while both have NBW, the Khawarij B2 and CC22 won it out for them, getting a critical hit which the Gator was unable to make either save for. By the end of Turn 2, neither of us had any real attack pieces left, but I had more models to draw from, along with a 4 man Core.
