You'll be properly reinforced next time...
You know what Janthis may not even leave Lanzar until he has personally blasted apart the entire wall piece by piece then peeing on all the debris
But needless to say the Wall will Fall 😠
😛
Actually, at this point Rebels should stop resistance at the West, because just like at the South they will be only losing troopers there. It is much easier for them to defend in the center. And there still chance for destroying the wall with strategic bombardment. We should all prey to the Dark Side that Ush`s dice behaves well.
Ok, we are done with Turn 6.

Results at the West City: Defenders Retreat (Retreat Requirement cancelled)
Capturing important strongpoints in the outskirts of the city, the Imperials outflank their opponents and pour down fire upon them. They refuse to retreat but casualties are heavy. Two Warrior units are hit and destroyed. All other forces remain where they were.

Results at the North City: Attackers Retreat
Trooper casualties attacking the walls are so high that an Osokan counter attack removes the enemy infantry presence in the area. Accompanying war machines withdraw before they become vulnerable.
All Imperial North Arm units return to the reserve; a trooper unit from (West) and one from (East) are hit for a second time and destroyed.
The enemy bombardment fails to breach the walls but a Warrior unit is hit and destroyed by it.

Turn 7 can begin
Rex, I have forwarded you troop allocation from Ush, and my other correspondence.
Still, one good thing is that apparently Rebels don`t have much left in reserve, considering that all their units we hit seem to be already injured. Perhaps observation from the board of Star Destroyer would confirm this?
Well, according to my calculations attacking from South at West may lower our ratio if they reinforce the West defenders enough to have ration of 17 or higher.
Actually, what would be the ratio in 49 versus 17, 2:1, or 3:1, considering no other bonus?
By the way, what is the exact benefit of Coll being present at West?
TURN 7
As Imperial forces with fresh trooper reinforcements arrive to the North- mirrored by a rotation out of trooper units outside the south walls that have taken casualties- the Imperials renew their attempts to take the Western sector. The Rebels move forces from the North to meet this threat, but their position is exceedingly tenuous.
The Rebel strategy depends on a bold move, as their forces from the centre attack the Southern sector, preventing those Imperial forces from joinging the attack on the west.
Ironically the Imperials had miscalculated; their planned attack from the South had been a waste of time due to it putting the western battle inside the city and there was no way those extra southern forces would change the odds enough to overcome the Rebel bonnus for in-city fights. It just would have drawn more units to be killed into the fight.
To the West, the Imperials manage 35 against 17, a 2-1 odds in their favour, shifted to 3-1 due to armour superiority. Once more the Rebels have condemned their defenders to a pointless death.
To the South, on the offensive for the first time, the Rebels manage to get evens, shifted to 3:2 in their favour by being in the city.
No tactical fight this turn; results come in immediately.

Results of the Western city battle- Defenders Routed (Retreat requirement cancelled)
The slaughter is immense as the city sector is levelled and defending Osokans flushed out by troopers advancing with heav fire support.
Each defending unit takes a hit, destroying a Warrior unit and a Hunter unit. The two remaining units stand fast; no movement.
-
Result of the Southern city battle- Defenders Retreat (re-roll used)
The Osokan counter attack succeeds in catching the troopers as they move annd chases them out the city. One un-hit trooper unit takes a hit; one Hit trooper unit goes to (East) and the rest go to (West) outside.
Osokan forces from the centre may move to the South arm if they wish.
Turn 8 may begin.
