Think we are all set for scenario number three of this battle which I've set up below. Love to hear your thoughts on it before we run it through. UPDATED!
Headhunters
Headhunters
Galaxy Commander Frederick Ott had ordered a headhunter strike even before the initial trial with the Sohei had taken place. Convinced that the Spheroids were incapable of engaging in honorable combat the stern Jaguar commander was intent on dispatching them with every tool at his disposal. While this ‘Wolf Clan tactic’ was not generally palatable to the rigid Smoke Jaguars the repeated dishonorable actions of the supposed noble Kurita samurai had left them embittered enough to overlook this distasteful battlefield assassination. A successful operation aimed at decapitating the Draconis headquarters staff and equipment here would enable the Clan to wipe out their despised foe in short order.
Attackers: Clan Smoke Jaguar
Psi Galaxy Command Trinary
Bravo Command Star (Clan Veteran)
Star Commander Klem, Elite, 4 Elementals
Point Commander Daga, Veteran, 4 Elementals
Point Commander Scoros, Veteran, 4 Elementals
Point Commander Granok, Regular, 4 Elementals
Point Commander Onyx, Veteran, 4 Elementals
Bravo Command Star of Psi Galaxy Command Trinary was the honor guard that Galaxy Commander Ott had fought hard to build. Many second line commands lacked any such armored infantry formations in the Clans but Ott’s efforts and successes earned him this retinue. While these warriors are not the elite of Jaguar line formations or even the naval guard they are an experienced determined group. Either disgraced or older these Jaguar Elementals are extremely fanatical in nature and will succeed or die trying.
