Infinity N3: ALEPH Training Sim

Hey Folks,

Long time no blog (3 months in fact!) due to life and reasons and stuff :) 

Last weekend Ben came around with his new ALEPH force. I'd been thinking about some terrain concepts so set up a table with very simple base shapes (Tupperware buildings, large polystyrene hex bases I'd made, hexagonal gift boxes (an idea I stole from Jamie that day no less)) and not a few wooden building blocks. 

As a table this looked crap of course visually but the shapes, fire lines and overall aesthetic was pretty cool. In my mind it looked awesome anyway! Also both Ben an I had a little to paint (read: a lot) so I played around with some Apps and to steal another idea from Jamie (imitation, flattery etc) did this;

Cartoon photo app and a comic strip created app. And yes Jamie that's a Tacitcal Armoured Gear you can't really see...the arms race is on! 

Mission was armoury, I went real subtle and bought a heavy infantry link team AND the Iguana. Which was a bit silly but fun!

I let Ben go first and they AI troops bounded forward and got first dibs on the armoury. However my counter assault got going with Mr Sad (my Intruder Sniper) dropping an HMG Dakini but also driving off the Asura who was on suppression fire. Forced four saves and Ben passed three...which was to become a theme lol.

In the end the Igauna got popped by a lucky shot with the Asuras multi rifle (and then we got ejection wrong). The Mobile Brigada link team got to the objective and held it for a turn until being gradually aro'ed and isolated. Highlights were the Brigada shrugging off three mines (next time Bens bringing monofilament...) and the Deva hacker dodging or saving multiple shotgun and light flame thrower blasts. On the flanks an aerial infiltrating Garuda got Mr Sad and the Dasyu was unopposed. 

Ben got his Secret Objectives while I couldn't so 5-2 to Ben! 

Great game and looking forward to the next one. 

In case your wondering here is the table in all its no cartoon glory ;) 

Also ad the Lunokhod and his Kola friends. I love the iguana model!
