Deployment:
Sync wins the roll, choosing 1st turn. Deploys first, traditionally across the edge of his 9” deployment zone, with Total Reaction bot in the centre. Flag in north eastern corner. Sync selects tech console as sabotage objective.
Dulydude deploys primary on western corner of the field, close to the civvies. Secretly deploys hacker ninja behind wall near civvies. Flag in south western corner.

Turn 1
Sync moves Sierra Dronbot + Order Sergeant/Auxbot down centre of board into Dulydude’s deployment zone, covering the corridor that Dulydude’s forces will need to go down. Father Gabrielle De Farsen, Knight of Santiago and another Order Sergeant/Auxbot advance, Order Sergeant link team advances.
Dulydude immediately reveals ninja hacker and moves to inside 8” of both total reaction bot and other bot and successfully hacks the TRB despite a -6mod. Raiden with MSR on western edge de-cloaks and destroys both TRB and other bot. Ninja returns to original position and re-cloaks, Domaru link team advances to ninja’s position.

Turn 2
Sync moves Knight of Santiago into base contact with tech console and successfully sabotages it, gaining 2VP. He then moves the 2nd Order Sergeant/Auxbot into Dulydude’s deployment zone on the eastern side, and deploys an airstrike marker to net him an extra VP at games end.
Dulydude starts moving the Domaru link team towards Sync Order Sergeant link team. Neko had all 4 potential AROs declared on him and managed to save all and charged into combat. Another order is spent to get 2 more domaru into close combat, both taking 4 AROs each, and only taking 1 wound each. The Domarus then destroy the link team in close combat, netting dulydude 2VP (capture). Dulydude then activates the ninja hacker to move around into base contact with civvie in an effort to synchronise, requiring 2 order to do so, gaining dulydude another VP at games end. The remaining orders were sent on the Domaru again in finishing off the Order Sergeants in close combat.

Turn 3
Sync uses his orders to consolidate his forces on the eastern side of the board to prevent movement towards the airstrike beacon
Dulydude uses his whole order pool on moving the Domaru through to Sync’s flag hidden in the north eastern corner and manages to destroy it in close combat (gaining 2 VP).
