Gombe, Nigeria (NAFP) – An attack on a diplomatic mission from the United Alien Council and the Yu Jing Ambassador left seven dead.

The brutal assault took place near Gombe State University while Ambassador Lei Wei was showing Legate Oschock the city on the border of the Yu Jing wedge.

Captain Yu Mai of Yu Jing Security Services, said that the attacking force consisted of 10 attackers. During the fighting several unsuccessful attempts were made by alien terrorist aircraft to penetrate Yu Jing airspace in the wedge, she said.

"All ten attackers were either killed or taken into captivity," she said.

Mai said that two Yu Jing soldiers were killed in the attack and another five were injured. She said that two of the Legate's Praetorian Guard were injured in the attack two but participated in trying to repel the attackers.

"One of the Praetorians was instrumental in our defensive measures," she said. The Praetorian guarded one side of a building prevented an advance by the terrorists on that side while Yu Jing defense forces moved up the other side to route the attackers, she said.

The attack left wreckage over several city blocks.

Resident Tiwa Olinlola said that she was about 10 feet away from the Legate and the Ambassador when the shooting started.

"They came out of no where. They were impossibly fast and the whole area was covered with spikes," she said.

Olinlola said that in the initial attack two aliens were killed but two of the Praetorians and the Ambassador's two bodyguards were down.

"I just ran after that," she said.

"The whole thing happened right in front of my window," said Kalu Balogun, a student at the University.

"I could see them moving up the street behind the market," he said.

"After the initial assault there were five more of the terrorists moving up," he said.

Balogun recounted that the attack seemed clearly to be aimed at the Legate and the Ambassador.

After Yu Jing security forces arrived they moved up to secure the area and then the Ambassador and Legate were quickly moved into an aircar, he said.

"One of the attackers shot at the aircar while it was on the ground still and I saw smoke pouring out of it," he said.

"The Ambassador and the alien guy got out and ran to the other aircar," Balogun said.

He said that after the second aircar took off with the two diplomats the aliens started moving back the way they came.

"There was a lot of gun fire. I saw two soldiers drop in near where the aliens went," he said.

Several local sources contradicted the official report that none of the terrorists escaped. YJSS would not answer injuries calling their statement into question.

Looks like a really fun battle. I have a feeling they will be back…

It was a fun battle. The Sogorat went down from shooting from the Hac Tao, failing 2 of his 3 armour rolls needing a 7 or better on a d20 to save.

Then he made a crit roll with his auto medikit and got back up. The Hac Tao in turn failed to save either hit on him by two Pretas and went down.

The Sogorat then fired a burst into the downed warrior killing him.

It was enough to allow the two diplomats to escape.

In the retreat a number of desperate attempts were made by Yu Jing forces to cut off the morats. They were partially successful in that each time they took at least one more guy down.

Still the Yu jing forces suffered most of their casualties trying to stop them from escaping.

The yu jing forces had about 275 pts plus the two bodyguard and the three praetorian troops and the legate.

The morats had 245 pts.


It was a lot of fun. The early rush by the two Pretas almost accomplished the objective on the first turn. It was a very spry ambassador that got out of the way of the chain rifle fire while his body guards took the hit.

Great AAR. Thanks for posting. It looks like a good time was had by all.

Great one Pics!
I have a very new found love (bordering on obsession) for Infinity – can't see how it has escaped me all this time until now.

Best small skirmish game out by far (IMHO) for near future special ops (not just killing) game. OOps fan geriatric boy rant off…
