So first game tonight. I played the Americans Experimental:
OSS Agent
Mechanic
Sniper Marksman Hero
Buffalo
Rocket Troopers
Robots
I'll go by memory with his list:
2 Psi Officers, one raised to Elite and given Parent
3 Psi Commando's
Sniper
Psicannon Crew
Chuman Squad
His list may have had some detachment building holes, but we'll look closer in our next game.
I made him deploy first with my superior Drive roll. He deployed his Sniper on the third floor of a ruined building and his Elite Psi Officer behind a central building.
I deployed my Sniper Hero behind a wall and my Buffalo trained to move towards his Psi Officer. This was a slight mistake as his movement rate obviously had some issues til my mechanic came in. Either way, a Buffalo can be tough in this scenario unless you deploy them both together so the mechanic can support the Buffalo.
My sniper took a quick shot at his sniper and got a hit and wound, the 2+ is nice to have with a Marksman hero. His sniper took a shot at mine and missed. My Buffalo moved forward... 4" and did nothing else
His Psi Officer moved behind the building a bit more. I then moved my Mechanic up behind the Buffalo. He moved his Psicannon team on the board.
I won Drive again and my sniper attempted another shot to finish off the Soviet Sniper and I couldn't get through his cover this time even with Crack Shot. He did the same and missed once again. My Buffalo moved up and took a upward shot at the sniper with his Tesla gun... that thing is cool 1 dead Soviet. His Officer moved up a bit and took 3 shots at my Mechanic, killing her. My OSS agent then jumped out from behind a wall with the Psi Officer in his sights. 8 shots later, I couldn't get any good rolls and couldn't get through my Clouded Mind... sigh. He then brought his Chumans out and were able to charge my OSS Agent. He survived the initial assault as only one was able to get in contact with him.
I won Drive once again. I'm unable to remember the order, but this is where things really started to go downhill for me. My Rocket Troopers were able to move up towards his Psi Officer and totally whiffed on the hit rollls. His Chumans were able to get to my Buffalo, tie him up, and allow the Psi Officer to psychically push him out of CC and be shot up by the Psi Cannon (which is deadly in the late stages of the game when everyones Drive start lowering.). I then started losing Drive rolls and he just started whittling me away.
It ended up a Soviet Bear buttkicking as I only killed the Sniper. I nearly had the Psi Officer with the Tesla Gun, but I came up literally about an 1/8" short with the template.
Damn fun mission and game. We'll do some more next week and try the next unplanned mission. I may try a Vet Detachment next time up.
