On April 18th I played my first 300-point Robotech game and it was a blast.
My buddy Dieter had the UEDF, with a total of 16 minis - 2 Valkyrie Squadrons, a Brawler Squadron and a Fire Support Squadron.
I had the Zentraedi, with 35 minis total (plus reinforcements...) - an Attrition Squadron with attached Glaug, another Attrition Squadron with a Glaug, a Quel-Regult and 2 Telnesta Regults and an Artillery squadron.
My big squad faced fierce opposition and I lost the Quel-Regult in the opening salvo, which sucked big time.
The Serauhaug Regults put some serious hurting on the UEDF Brawler squad (off to the left), but an inbound Valkyre squad already picked them as targets...
At this point my big Regult squad had already been destroyed and my smaller one had lost its Glaug, so I didn't get any more reinforcements - and I was running out of units fast while not putting enough of a hurting on the UEDF mecha.
Gluuhaugs make my day. Although there are still 3 Valkyries in that squad (of formerly 4) on the tower after I fired 18 missiles at them, those fighters sputtered away with between 2-6 damage points each (out of 14).
Unfortunately, the other Valkyries down in the park then destroyed the Gluuhaugs.
And right into the sights of my Regults.
Since Dieter had used up all his Command Points to even get them this far, I actually managed to wipe them out. Hooray!
My last desperate push before I was utterly annihilated.
Results after 4 game turns:
The Zentraedi have been wiped from the board entirely.
The UEDF lost 4 Valkyries, one Defender, one Phalanx and one Spartan. The other Defender, one Tomahawk and two more Valkyries had suffered heavy damage. Everything else (except for one unscathed Tomahawk) suffered minor damage.

It's 10mm terrain after all.
