Kyle gets another hit in, but it is he who is forced to retreat under Jaiden's heavy weapons fire.
-
In the city, Sasha uses Fortune agauinst Arvus, though that only works on one of the two rolls she makes, and that roll is a hit.
Arvus is trying to blow out the catapults via his heavy weapons, but he cannot see them; the catapults are not in direct line of site from the street. He can only blast at the building like the STs are.
The stormtrooper melee has cleared enough now for catapult fire to elp there also, and the STs strike out this round, not firing well.
-
The North wall is turning into a disaster; with Janthis' troops in melee the STs cannot readily help them. Janthis blasts pretty hard into an Osokan but the atttrition rate is high.

Ok, time to call the results.
At the South Wall, the flood of Imperial troops up the wall will overwhelm the defenders, and Eerin is too pressed now to change that. The Imperials will take the walls!
Tactical Result: Imperial Victory. Battle odds shift to 2:1 to Imperials.
Inside the city, as Arvus runs for cover, the STs don't have much chance now (Coll's not unreasonable new orders for them have arrived late in the day). The Rebel ambust forces the Imperial force from these streets.
Tactical Result: Rebel Victory. Battle odds shift to 1: 2 to Rebels.
At the North wall, Janthis' troops are forced to withdraw under heavy fire. The walls are not bombed, though as there are no Rebel players present this simply concludes with no difference made.
Galahad heaves a sigh of relief once the results are in.
"This is good news for us, Drakkon," Galahad says. "They're exhausting their efforts, trying to get in. It seems we've lost the South Wall, however. Kyle and Eerin were overwhelmed by a stormtrooper commander's additional forces. The Imperials will try to take the starport, I'm sure."
TURN 3 RESULTS
-----
Result for Battle at the South Wall- Defenders Retreat (Retreat requirement cancelled)
Again, the Imperials get a solid foothold on the walls and try to move into the city, and again they cannot rout the defending troops and their position becomes untenable. No advance is made and the sector remains under Rebel control.
I defending Warrior unit takes a hit from the battle.
The currently undamaged AT-ST unit takes a hit from Rebel air attack
Thanks to the orbital bombardment, the South wall has finally been breached.
-
Result for Battle in the City- Attackers Routed (Reroll used)
The Imperial atttack is a complete disaster. With their armour met by anti-armour weapons the Imperials actually are in inferior strength to their foes. Add to that the difficulties of fighting in thr city, their tactical reverse and that the defenders had a re-roll available and it all amounts to a small catrostrophe.
This catastrophe is made larger by Imeprial troop movements outside the walls that prevent efficient retreat.
The two ST units both takes hits and go to each of the outside West Arm locations, bouncing trooper units to the reserve.
This is the limit of Imperial flexibility. The two trooper units in the attack are both unable to retreat and are destroyed.
-
Result at Battle for the North Wall- Firefight
Looks like this fight will go on for a while.
The North Arm (East) trooper unit takes a hit, also the North Arm (West) speeder bike unit. As does the defending militia unit that was already hit. This unit is destroyed.
