Tohaa efforts in the Edda region to capture and protect Tohaa assets from the discriminative strikes of Human extremist and the Combined Army. Facing off against the misguided Bakunin Strike force that are burning all aliens assets. The Tohaa had to play it smart to capture the key assets from the Bakunin forces and to disappear into the safety of the night.

The Tohaa forces took the initiative but decided to go second instead, taking on strong defensive position. The Bakunin forces immediately started off forward, towards the Tohaa, forcing a firefight with the Nikoul Sniper on the right flank through a white noise screen that was dropped in place by the reverend custodian hacker. On the right and center, morlocks moved forward and dropped smoke. Robin Hook also headed forward and hiding on the second floor of a building. For the Tohaa, the Triad of 2 Makaul and 1 Kaeltar on the left flank moved up with little opposition, eventually dealing with the Morlock and a sniper on that side of the board. At the end of it, one Makaul is unconscious while the other stands ever ready with his heavy flamethrower to react to any other movements by the nomads. The Taquel Lieutenant went forward to the midboard alongside a makaul, with a Kaeltar trialling behind. Using a combination of pheroware tactics and heavy flamethrower, the team manages to break up the haris of reverend moira and cenobite and to dominate the midboard position.

Second turn sees the Bakunin initiated dropping in on the left flank and sought to pin-down the left flank of the Tohaa tropp movement. Robin hook and the morlock at the center of the board tried to deal with the makual to the side but to little effect. On the right flank, the reverend custodier spec fired a pitcher near the hiding makual and Taquel. Spotlighting the Taquel, the Vertigo zond let loose its missile payload before the taquel dropped into the unconscious state. The other cenobite attempted to move forward but was stopped by the Taquel’s pheroware before he got hit by the vertigo zond. At the states phase, the Taquel manage to regenerate back to one wound with a roll of 9 on the PH roll. In the Tohaa’s second turn, the taquel made a mad-dash towards the objective, spending most of the order pool to for mirrorballs to conceal his movement, and to run in front to grab the opponents objective and to pull as far back as possible. The Igao also revealed himself and helped to bring the objective a bit more into the tohaa side of the battlefield.
As the Bakunin reinforcement dropped in in the third turn, the rounder took up position on the high vantage point and started laying down fire onto the tohaa units still present along the centre lane. Jelena took up a suppressive fire position further behind the rounder. The marspider moved up to try to fulfil his classified objective but was stop dead by the pheroware tactics: eraser. the vertigo zond also sends more guided missiles to take out previously guided igao and dropping the taquel to the unconscious state again. The turn ends with the Kulak moving forward to the Tohaa objective and captured it. The Taquel once again manages to regenerate himself back up to one wound and fresh tohaa troops dropped in. The Igao in the reinforcement mirrorballed the area near the objectives to block line of sight from the rounder before the Draal took back the dropped Bakunin objective. The taquel dealt with the Kulak using pheroware tactic, while the hatail and Sakiel went to dominate the tohaa objective. The game ends with both objectives firmly in tohaa’s hand.
