Brikspace Turn 2

Post by Theblackdog » Mon Mar 16, 2009 6:38 pm

It's finally here!
We've had a lot of delays with order posting, so I'm implementing a strict 48-hour rule. If a player does not report orders within the time limit, another player from his team will be asked to give orders for his squadron.

Image
The boarding frigate moves up, while the defense field frigate coasts alongside to protect it. The pirate boarding pod launches and docks with the freighter; the reinforcements will arrive on the interior battlefield next turn.

Image
The JDF lancer spots the pirate boarding attempt, and opens fire with its main gun. It misses.

Image
The Republic troop frigate moves up, and deploys its boarding pod, which also docks with the freighter.

Image
The Assault Frigate moves up, and the Republic and pirate ships exchange fire. Neither side manages to damage the other.

Image
The Noral Shipping escort frigate fires on the pirate boarding craft... and misses.

Image
The freighter accelerates out of the clump of warships near the station.

Image
The Trick Shot opens fire on the JDF lancer, destroying its main gun. The Trick Shot has seven missiles left.

Image
The Nurse Shark frigate fires a pair of missiles at the lancer, but misses. It has 14 missiles left.

Image
The Tiger Shark closes in on the Falcon.

Image
The JDF lancer expends another missile, and manages to do a point of damage to the pirate boarding frigate. It has 2 missiles left.

Image
The Falcon opens fire on the Tiger Shark, and does two points of damage.

Image
Unfortunately, the Hellfury appears. Its forward lance isn't able to hit the Falcon, but its heavy missiles are...

Image
BOOM! Chalk another one up for the Hellfury.

Image
Space Overwatch. A lot of people will have to lose velocity and move out of each other's way next turn.

Kills
Hellfury: 1
Pirate Boarding Party: 1
Coalition Boarding Party: 1

Deaths
Falcon: 1
Pirate Boarding Party: 1
Coalition Boarding Party: 1

Damage points given
Jovian Defense Force: 1
Falcon: 2

Damage Points taken
Cutlass Squadron: 1
Shark Squadron: 2

Victory points
Pirates: 50
Coalition: 0

Now for the ground war...

Image
The Stealthtrooper attacks the security guard in the engineering room, but misses.

Image
The other pirates have more luck, killing the security guard in the engineering section.

Image
The guards in the cockpit make response attacks, but miss.

Image
The pirates steal the dead guard's machine gun, and hide in the hyperdrive room.

Image
The security troops charge the engineering room and kill the pirate stealthtrooper.

Image
They activate the R2 unit, and it takes cover in the room along with one of the guards. The R2 unit can heal a minifig and/or repair its life support system. If it heals a minifig with a broken life support system, the life support system is repaired as well.

Image
The pirate reinforcements appear out of the elevator.

Image
the Coalition boarding pod docks, and the reinforcements plant a breaching charge on the wall. The charge will detonate and bring the wall down at the beginning of the Coalition boarding party's next turn.

Image
Overwatch of the field giving you a better idea of where the reinforcements are.

Awaiting orders for turn 3.

Darn, I knew that the Hellfury was going to be a problem . . .

Since the Coalition is doing so poorly due to bad luck, I've decided to give them a secret faction which will be commanded by whichever Coalition commander is the first to lose all of his combat forces. The faction will launch from the station one turn after their commander is chosen.

Orders received from jifel, but he needs to clarify.

Since I only have control over one army and Sigfig and Jifel have two, could I have the secret faction?

Sigfig actually only controls only one army now, with only one combat ship, whereas you have two. jifel will probably be the first to lose his ship (since its only remaining armament consists of two missiles) but he still has the ground forces. The secret faction will go to whoever loses all of their forces first. It's actually NOT as powerful as the ships you have now, so don't try to kill yourselves to get it.

My next battle won't be for several months, so no reserving places yet. It will be a more-or-less conventional ground battle, with some scenario objectives and a LOT of pick-up weapons and equipment.

The good news for the Coalition is that the Hellfury won't be able to do much on turn 3; all of the Coalition ships are behind cover relative to its position and it has a large vector to cancel.
I have orders in from Cpl. Halan, MasterEcabob, jifel, and birdman, but jifel and MasterEcabob still have some more things to clarify.

Sorry I forgot you. Silent-Sigfig is the only one missing, but you have clarifications to send in.
