USH'S ORIGINAL TRILOGY GAME EPISODE I 'LANZAR'- Rebel Alliance Thread

What's their difficulty for breaching through the blockage on a rating of very easy to impossible?

And I don't suppose the stormtroopers are using grappling hooks that we could snip? Maybe really tall ladders? 😛

Same question. Could they easily blast through it with heavy weaponry?

Well, they've been blasting away for a while, it cannot hold forever.

And no, they are just picking their way up. But it's not very fast.

I can put off my shots at Rylis and Jaiden just fine?

Okay, so cargo door is jammed, main entrances blocked...

How about windows? Anything they could climb up to and jump through?

(I was thinking about a new tactic. I'll switch to shooting at stormtroopers as fast as I can. Like a constant series of snapped attacks. I'll dodge anything from the nemed ones of course, but mostly just fire madly at the crowd. But with skill...
It just seems that it takes a whole battle to take down another character, when maybe we could support the Osokans in thinnig Imperial numbers. Besides, it takes more for their characters to kill an Osokan than it does us a Stormtrooper. Any nay-sayers?)

Oh! I have not stated my revised action, in any case.

Eerin will be firing at a stormtrooper to the West.

I think that's actually a good call, Kyle. You don't want to make yourself the target of our enemy players, seeing as one good shot and you'll be out of this fight...

Plus, we're really outnumbered! It's 120 Osokans against 340 Stormtroopers! The more thinning of enemy numbers we can do, the better!

Scarlet will fire on two stormtroopers to the South, snapping her attack.

Party is starting.

The ST's start to blast away at the warehouse. This will likely cause Osokan casualties but it's going to take a while to breach it this way.

(You're lucky. This fight is based on the German/Russian battle at the grain silo in Stalingrad, which was also fed by a large elevator. The Germans shelled it, bombed it, tanked it, had men on three sides... it took them weeks to take it and when they finally did they only found forty dead bodies in the elevator where the resistance was centred. This fight is only going to take an hour.

One of the big lessons of modern urban warfare- as reflected in this game- is that war machines do not work as well as you think. You need men on the ground doing it the hard way.)

Arvus- you cannot precision fire with a Heavy Weapon, so that's taken as a general Heavy shot on the warehouse itself, adding to the attempt to breach it. Your shot blows open one of the smaller doorways, revealing a barricade behind it. They've done their best to block the entrances.

Rylis jetpacks over to the side of the elevator. Jetpack speed moved her pretty fast; she only has to take one turn of firing before reaching the edge of the building which takes her out of line of sight of the defenders inside.

Eerin- having to hold your action. Sonic blaster is useless at this range.

Kyle gets blasting away at stormtroopers, as does Scarlet, who scrambles into the eleavtor shaft to fire southwards.

Troopers start to close! Vicious exchange of fire going on. Some osokans are being blasted bacjk by heavy shots; more are suffering from building damage caused by the STs.

-

Atop the walls, Ranad and Sasha blast away at nearby troopers. I am having to hold Rhys' frames.

Janthis- the troopers will climb when they can but they cannot whilst the approaches are blocked. You can grappling hook up easily, though.

A lot of janthis' troopers seem to be taking a personal interest in Rhys...

(Incidentally I misstated the number of top wall Osokans- corrected)

-----

Yes! Osokans on top of the wall have gained an edge!

Sasha moves to the edge of the wall to fire down, once she sees that things are going well up top. She blasts away at stormtroopers at the midway point.

Dodge Janthis if he fires.

"Rylis went off the radar!" Scarlet warns everyone.

She snaps an attack, blasting at stormtroopers, then snaps another attack, turning one heavy pistol on Jaiden and another on a stormtrooper beside him, as she had done earlier.

Dodge any enemy players if they manage a shot at me.

Hmm. Eerin sets his sonic pistol into its holster and grabs his disruptor rifle off of a crate. Sliding the barrel through a tiny hole in the wall, he lines up a shot and fires the charged beam at Arvus.

It seems that we have the superior tactical position this round. Kyle, Eerin, Scarlet, make sure you hold that superior position, it's the key to our success!

(Kyle will continue wiping out Stormtroopers, but will dodge the expected ambush from Rylis.)

Ok, on we go!

Arvus considers messing around with his ammo to try and destroy the blockage behind the door, but he doesn;t need to as he can just keep shooting at it. He begins to advance forwards, taking another shot; this shot cocks up though and hits nothing important. Whilst advancing, those hundreds of troopers will be in his way for further shots.

Arvus- someone is firing at you with a high energy disruptor rifle! That sure as heck is no Osokan. Shoots like one though- a miss.

Kyle is blasting away at troopers. He sure as heck is not missing, but he is no killer of massed armies.

Scarlet goes a bit wild, snapping dobule gunned shots all over. One of her shots goes at Jaiden but to little effect.

Jaiden continues to advane in- not strong enough to fire that weapon on the move, I am afraid., Arvus is the guy decked out for such big gun usage.

At this point Rylis flamethrowers the elevator through one of the defensive slits. This is NOT good news, Scarlet, and forget about trying to fire back at her- no angle except through the slit she is flaming throuugh and that's hardly practical.

-

At the walls-

False logic from the Commissar there, assuming that the casualty ratio would be even. AT-ST fire will kill troopers much quicker than Osokans.

It would be impossible for Janthis' troopers to fire up at those atop ther wall... except they obligingly just moved over to fire down for him. You guys are under fire.

Walkers in position any time you want them, Coll.

Troopers have more than half-cleared the middle so they can begin moving upwards again.

Rebels- better hope Rhys gets into action soon...

-----

(Eerin, go kill Rylis, maybe sneak around behind her. Kyle will continue as before.)

Eerin will need an invisibility cloak to sneak.

Scarlet, however, is our sneakiest player!

She will move off of the elevator and look for a way to sneak around behind Rylis, perhaps firing at her out of another vent with both guns.

Geez, where IS he?

Sasha will keep up her rate of fire at the midway point.

Shoot like an Osokan...hmph...

Eerin will shoot down a stormtrooper near Arvus, seeing as he's not a very good shot against the Assassin. He satisfies himself by vaporizing the stormtrooper with a high-powered blast.
