Re: Obolis Invasion: The Charadon Campaign

Also after playing a bunch of KT today, David and I discovered there's no actual benefit to winning the game in campaign mode! It's likely if you won you'll do a bunch of stuff that gets you XP and Spec Ops progress but it's not obviously better than a draw or a close loss (or an absolute drubbing where you ignored the mission objectives to go do your Spec Ops stuff?). As a result for games in the Charadon Campaign we agreed a slight incentive to actually win was in order:
To the Victor: On winning a game of Kill Team with your Spec Ops force, after the casualty step, choose one of the following two options:
Battlefield Salvage: Add one piece of standard equipment to your stash, up to 3 points in value.
Marked for Greatness: Select one member of your Kill Team, who earns 3XP. Note this is affected by caps on XP from casualty rolls etc.
Phase 2 Standings - After Some Kill Team Games
Defenders: 26

Achievements Claimed:
The Taran Heresy (Jye): Secure at All Costs, Overrun
Hit Squad (Dekana): Tactical Masterclass
War Diary of Master Inquisitor Tara
Reginleif reported that her pack, on route to a rendevous with their sisters on Brezantius VI, encountered and were driven back by an unusually determined cadre of the Dusk Raiders. By coincidence I received her message - wisely relayed to me so as not to...distract...Wolf Lord Sangrior - while entertaining the newly arrived Twelve Yaskha of the Throne, Custodian Guard of my acquaintance who after the mutual service we rendered to each other on Kleidion were more than happy to do me the favour of relieving Reginleif's pack.
Master Kuvira reported the Dusk Raiders were thoroughly routed, and my intelligence indicated they were further harried by Drukhari raiders who drove them from the field and demolished their temporary base. By the end of the day I received yet another report (though long after the High Lord had first read it) that Sister Superior Tomoe had ambushed the Dusk Raider squad on the march, inflicting over half their number in casualties while only two escaped.
(many Sisters were injured, but to their disappointment, not martyred)
This is a matter of exceptional concern. While on balance the Dusk Raiders had very poor day from a tactical perspective, their fighting capacity does not seem to have been diminished in multiple skirmishes with elite forces, and I can only presume their strategic goal has advanced accordingly. I am unsure what I can ask my allies to do against such hateful resilience.
