How did they turn out?

This list was involved in a 1v1v1 game with YAMS objectives. (Nomads and MAF)

Third up: Triple Fireteams
1x Hsien - Multi Rifle, Lt.
1x Hsien - Multi Rifle
2x Hsien - HMGs
3x Celestial - Smoke LGLs
3x Kuang Shi - Chain Rifles

I went third... And actually lost nothing before my first turn. The Kuang Shi died horribly to bad deployment against a crafty Nomad player. Rounds 2 & 3 saw the demise of my Celestial Guard, but not before the lined up some nice sneak attacks for my Hsien Link team. The Hsiens destroyed everything that was thrown at them, and everything I through them at. In the end I won the game getting 4 of my 6 victory points in the last round. Not a single wound was delt to the Hsiens.

This list was involved in a 1v1 game (MAF) with a single objective in the board center. (WIP roll to control)

First up: Cops&Cons Fireteams
2x Wu Ming - HMGs
3x Wu Ming - Combi Rifles, E/mitters
1x Bao Troop - Boarding Shotgun, Contender
1x Sforza - ADHL, Viral Rifle, Nano
1x Celestial - Combi Rifle, Lt.
1x Celestial - Hacker
1x Celestial - Combi Rifle

I hid the Celestials in a building, covering all the entrances. They didn't see any action the whole game. I won the WIP roll and took Initiative. My very first order Sforza dies in a blaze of no glory. Literally picked off at range. Oh well. I then moved the Wu Ming link up to the center, took the objective and dropped 2 Morats. Then in my reactive turn the Morats died horribly. In all honesty my buddies dice were failing him miserably, even though I was usually shooting for 16s or 19s most of the game with 2 - 3 link memebers almost always getting in on the AROs. I think he lost 4 or 5 more Morats on his turn. My Bao Trooper did get a kill in on turn 2. He ended up tabled by the end of 2. I lost one Wu Ming and had 1 wound on another 2.
