"Talon 3 to Talon 1! we are being enga......"
"This is Talon 1! repeat your last transmission over!"

In following firefight they managed to knock out one of two drones. Recon team established strongpoint in church and engaged Brazil fireteam in orchard which pulled back behind wall.

"Talon 1 to King six! we are being engaged by NEU infantry! 20+ footmobiles supported by SAGPs!" 

Brazilians engaged US in deadly firefight

The US assault lost momentum but managed to knock out second SAGPs and Brazil start advancing keeping pressure on enemy.
two fireteams moved forward to fix US fireteams. Under heavy fire US forces managed to gain foothold in building near pod.

Both forces being tired, low on ammunition , US Commander decided to make dash toward pod with single fireteam but was caught in brutal crossfire and eventualy whole team were tear down by enemy fire.
the game ended as marginal victory for Brazilians, since they managed to inflict more losses on US  althought pod was not recovered by any side.


My friend was very excited by game mechanics, and intensity of game (it was his first hard scifi wargaming battle) so expect more reports in future.
