Though the heavy machine fire can drive the Rebels from the walls.... so nobody would be there.
So by foregone conclusion to this fight you meant the fact that Imperials will be unable to take the Rebel players, as opposed to Osokans?
Actually, Janthis`s idea of taking Sasha so Ranad would have to ensure her safety sounds like only chance.
Well, none of the Rebel players are going to go down as fast as Janthis, and indeed it seems very unlikely that enough troopers have got up there to destroy the Rebel players.
Heavy machine fire is irrelevant for taking the walls. You fiire, they go into cover. You stop firing, they come out again. The only way you can get them out to be actually hit by such fire is to force them out by having men up there.
As ever, in any sort of war from the beginning of time, you need infantry on the ground to hold an objective. Everything else supports that.

Janthis will still be shooting Sasha but I also want two other troopers firing at her.
I want 6 firing at Rhys and I want the rest holding off the Osokans.
He will still be dodging named character attacks
Originally posted by Lord MelkorWell I'm hoping between Janthis and two other people shooting her that will do 14 points of damage but you right I need to take her out and hopefully have that absolutelty destroy her.
Why not concentrate all fire on Sasha then? Perhaps your assumption that Ranad will leave with her is right.
So Janthis will fire at her along with 4 other troopers. I hope that will do it. 4 on Rhys once again the rest holding of the Osokans
Janthis dodgeing any atacks coming at him.
Originally posted by Lord MelkorNot very but at the same time I can not let the Osokans go without being shot and I can not let Rhys go a turn without hopefully sustaining some damage.
Hmm, I am not sure how big a chance has a trooper to hit her, though.
My only real hope is to have the Troopers take out about 3 Osokans.
Have Sasha taken out this turn which in turn forces out Ranad and get Rhys taken into the 30 point range. And I can not loose anymore than 9 troopers this turn.
I also can not get taken out this turn. If I do Janthis would have his men next turn cocnentrate half their forces on the Osokans with the rest firing on Rhys which hopefully Sasha gets taken out this turn. If not then theywould have to have half fire on sahs and the rest on Rhys.
And of course all this goes on the idea that Ranad leaves with Sasha.
If he doesn't then well I'm screwed because I jsut will not ahve the trooper numbers to deal if all three Rebels remain after this turn. 🙁
Originally posted by Lord MelkorThats true but like I said I need to get Rhys into the 30 point range as well.
If you are counting of the slim hope of eliminating Sasha and Ranad, you should focus on this. It is always better to make sure that one person is out than to injure 2.
Plus I do not want to under utilize my resources right now. I've got hope that me plus 4 other guys can get 14 points of damage. 6 normal troopers were able to get 12 points.
But man it is way to important right now to get Sasha and Ranad out.
So Janthis will have him plus 6 other troopers fire at Sasha.
Two firing at Rhys and all the other firing at Osokans.
Ok, time to sort this.
At the walls, the Rebels fire exclusively at the troopers.
Janthis snaps an attack at Sasha... but the first attack is dodged. He leaves himself a little exposed to an osokan attack but it misses. This gives him time for a second such snapped attack and this one hits!
Janthis has earned a frame advantage and can snap another attack... a 20! Another hit. Sasha's dodging has kept her in play.
Janthis orders toopers to fire on Rhys and Sasha. In fact, the combined weight of fire takes out Sasha. But this has made a great difference to his troop's ability to kill Osokans.
It's all over shortly afterwards. Two Osokans are left standing as the laat trooper falls. It's a minor miracxle how Janthis gets out of there; effectively taken out the fight on fifty damage, and every one of his men dead.
The Rebels have take horiffic casualties but the onus was on the Imperials to take ground. They have nothing to show for their total loss. This is a Rebel victory.

At the warehouse, there are no more personal scores to settle. But there's little to be done. Kyle and the Osokans fight the troopers in the main part of the building to a standstill but they are now under ST fire and the elevator is totally overwhelmed; those forces pour into the main area. All the Rebel forces must retreat to safety eastwards. Casualties for the Imps are again high but the strongpoint has fallen. Imperial victory.
