Okidokey then!
19 from Cass is a kill of kills, done in any spectacular way he likes.
Kyle blows away one of the damaged TIEs attacking.
And then kills from Scarlet and Rhys!
And to cut this short, we can quickly repeat that for a wipe-out of the TIEs.

Tip of the Lance: 5
RFT: 0

Imperial response has been the following:
- Victorious has left station and is moving across to Deviator, above the city, where they can combine fire against attackers
- The two squadrons at ground level are coming up to cover the SDs. The independant fighters are not coming with them.
Alright then. We should probably head back down, then. If they were foolish enough to keep the pair of personal ships acting as cover...
Rhys lets loose a whoop of victory. "Yeeeeaah hahaha! Good job, everyone, that squadron's history!" He punches the air, then winces when that punch knocks his pair of fuzzy dice to the floor.
Alright!
Hmmm, Here's what I'm thinking.
If all of a sudden we rush back down, won't the TIE's just turn around and come back down to give us hell? Or do we have enough lag time.
Also, what is the penalty for trying to engage the personal fighters in atmosphere?
Because I'm thinking of going down and attempting to engage them, and leading them into space.
umm, how many of the personal fighters are there? 2?

Franjly, you'd like the chance. If the TIEs broke from the SDs to follow you... well, two squadrons is no pushover, but if you won that fight...
It's not worh the risk with the SDs firing at you as well, of course.
The independant fightes are not atmospheric craft, so you are all on the same penalty, so it all evens out.
It is 2, yes. But it seems they are heading to land in the jungle.
(Once the army clears the jungle, the city will have to keep the shield up, won't they? Are we trapped outside, or would we be able to coordinate a quick window to get back in. The only trouble i see with that is if the Imperials are watching, they might take the hint and fire as soon as the shield lowers. Were we planning on returning at all, or giving them hell from the air?)
Hmm... that's a complicated problem I hadn't thought of. Once we're out of torps we don't want to be stuck outside with a giant army of stormtroopers.
It might be possible, if we attack hard and fast, to do sufficient damage to the artillery and then call in for the shield to be dropped just long enough for us to get through.
Did the earlier reconnaissance figure out what was leading the army?
