Still on Weber’s World, the Revengers are approached by Ret. General Niam Hakir (Patron mission) for a very special op. On the anniversary eve of the near-destruction of his old Unity Military Cadre, Hakir hires the crew to infiltrate the site of his unit’s loss. There they must plant a flower (the Secure mission) in honor of his fallen comrades.
Meanwhile, the area around the old battle site has become a hot bead of criminal activity, and the Orgon Cartel has hired hardened mercs (Black Dragons, Hired Muscle) to defend their interests there.
With the benefits of Hakir’s personal security team for both insertion and exfil (-1 enemy models), the Revengers faced four formidable foes in the Black Dragons, with three wielding Military Rifles and one wielding a Hyper Blaster!
While Stevens was securing General Hakir as the crew’s latest patron, Lykos traded for some basic supplies, Sawtooth destroyed the team’s broken motion tracker while trying to repair it, Crane recruited a new crew member (Sasha Rourke), and Singh traded for an amazing cache of 2 Stim Packs and 2 Med Patches.
As the crew approached the old mining town of Dashin (the site of the old battle that shattered Hakir’s unit), they immediately sensed trouble. The Black Dragons were in the area!
 |
| Dashin, a quiet little town. The forces arrayed. |
 |
| Tactically minded Black Dragons advance to cover. |
 |
| Cpt. Stevens & Singh advance on the center; the others take flanking actions |
 |
| A Black Dragon seeks cover and a field of fire near a storage container. |
 |
| Black Dragon trooper takes cover in the bed of an abandoned truck and brings the dreaded Hyper Blaster to the battle. |
 |
| Stevens blasted by Hyper Blaster fire and forced to spend his Luck! |
 |
| Singh bravely stocks forward and deploys his Insta Wall to provide a vital barrier. |
 |
| Stevens finds himself behind a building after cheating death, and Lykos takes to the rooftop to bring cover fire to bear. Corvus and Sasha continue to flank. |
 |
| Corvus Crane draws first blood with his Colony Rifle. |
 |
| Lykos follows by miraculously taking out the Black Dragons’ Lieutenant! |
 |
| The Black Dragon heavy moves around the wall and blasts Singh, taking him out, but Sawtooth answers with his scrap pistol and guns him down! |
 |
| The last Black Dragon bails! |
 |
| Security cam footage of the Dragons prior to the battle. |
 |
In the post-battle, Singh pays the ultimate price!
|
Revengers held the field, planted the flower, and looted the Hyper Blaster. They also found 3 dazzle grenades, and collected a new Insta-Wall to replace the one lost with Singh’s death (I ruled that Hyper Blaster fire destroyed all of his gear).
Next turn, Dirk Morgna (injured way back in Turn 1) is back!
