Alaudae versus Sincanmo: Club night game in 15mm

I wanted to try out my newly painted Sincanmo Federation (Trained, 2 detachments) versus my friend Kevin Dallimore's Alaudae Legion (Elite, 2 detachments). The Sincanmo deployed in a small industrial unit and dared the Alaudae to wheedle them out. The elite forces won initiative with one detachment but the Sincanmo forfeited their second unit's initiative to enable them to spring snipers spotting for ATGW teams. Sadly, offering up their initiative meant that the Sincanmo lost more than half a dozen TUs before they even got to fire. But fire they did and losses the Alaudae took - some 4 TUs. In the second and third turns, however, the Alaudae used their superior leadership to move forward and destroy any remaining ATGW systems - and even the Sincanmo's Buzzbomb carrying infantry. Finally - at the end of turn 4 - the Sincanmo's morale broke and Chief Diabate beat a hasty retreat taking the rest of his forces with him!
