First blood goes to......

...me!!

The grunt I targetted last turn is dead, giving me a 1 point lead. reedonly blew the far barrels on the left side, and a stray shot from the last turn took out the larger grouping just to the right.

I have a couple of wounded XT's but nothing too serious at this stage.

I've spotted his Commander just outside the room we are fighting over, and have also seen 5 grunts kicking about. That leaves 6 FPs undiscovered....

I've got quite a lot of firepower over on that left side, and I'm going to try to take out a few more of his toopws to get a better scoreline.

I'm moving a few units into position to fire through the holes blown in the top of the room by the barrels. I can get most of my troops attacking in this one turn, with the exception of the AI, which is rumbling onwards. I'm parking it up behind the remaining wall, so that next turn I can shoot through that wall to attack the units behind. If any are still standing....

The trouble with this plan is that a few good grenades will decimate me....

Hmmm

Its a bit of Give And Take so far....

One of his grunts ran in and blew up the same barrel pile I was going for... He retreated a little into the building, so I'm going to follow him up with my hinter form one side, and a couple of XT's from the other. This grunt is slightly wounded already as my central hunter got a shot off while he was making his grenade run.

On the other side of the map my hunter has spotted a lone grunt doing a little dance in the middle of the map. Shots were exchanged but my litle metal chap has come out a little worse-off.

I dont really want to give him an early lead at this point, so I'm going to withdraw that hunter and run it round for repair.

I havent really seen much of his troops so far, and I've covered a fair amount of the map with my hunters, so I think he is hunkering down and going for a point lead. I really dont want to have to try to storm his position, not with the slow moving Mechs.

It loks liek the rest of the barrels are going up this turn, so I'm going to advance my scanner up a bit to try to see what else he has hidden away.
