Commander,
In response to your request for approval, the Aun of Voi’la have requested your patrol be accompanied ny Shas’Ui Rio’Myroi, a veteran battlesuit pilot of the Thoth campaigns. His command will help bring much needed fire support should your patrol encounter enemy forces.
The Aun also suggest rounding up a gaggle of Kroot, whose attunement to natural surrounds will assist in routing out any concealed forces amoung the vegation on the sector.

So got my reply form Old Shatter Hands and he suggested 2 alternatives for the mission. The first strips things down to the basics but stays with the theme of an advance scouting squad.
Troops:
6 Fire Warriors with Pulse Rifles 60 points
1 Devilfish, Disruption Pod 85 points
This unit has had it’s SMS and upgrades removed. The Gun Drones are more valuable than SMS anyday. They will pop off and contribute fire and get in the way of assaulters.
Fast Attack:
1 Piranha, Fusion Blaster 65 points
Again, stripped of it’s upgrades. Sure we lose BS4, but we need those points for more guns.
Fast Attack:
1 Piranha, Fusion Blaster 65 points
Elites:
2 Crisis Suits: Twin-linked Missile Pods, Flamers. 94 Points
Total: 399.
The second is a little tougher but also fits a theme assuming the area being scouted is a little more dense with terrain.
Troops:
10 Kroot. 70 points.
10 Kroot. 70 points.
Elites:
2 Crisis Suits: Twin-linked Missile Pods, Flamers. 94 Points
2 Crisis Suits: Twin-linked Missile Pods, Flamers. 94 Points
Fast Attack:
Piranha with Fusion Blaster and Targetting Array. 70 Points
Total: 398
So what did I do, well here we go.
Commander,
Due to the speed of events and the need to redeploy some of our Firewarriors we are calling in some of the Kroot for additonal support. The area they will be scouting is a little rougher and their physical nature will allow them to keep up with the other fast moving units. We also suspect that the area will be hot with enemy patrols. To counter this were are deploying Stealth teams to allow us to get closer than we can with heavier units.
For the Greater Good.
