Coll watches the spiked log tumble down with an agonizing fury as his stormtroopers are skewered and scrambled.
Angered by Drakkon's unexpected move, Coll orders the stormtroopers to spread out along the pyramidal structure, to prevent another log from taking out the bunched up troops in such numbers.
He also orders the troopers to concentrate their firepower on the Osokans a quarter of the way up.
He then lends covering fire to Rylis by shooting at Kyle. No doubleshot.

Problem with that strategy, Coll, is that the more spread out they are the more easily the Osokans kill them, up close.
They are pretty much already doing that with firepower, btw. The upper casualties are from ST fire as they blow away the structure.
Coll attempts to organise the troopers around the base to not be in the firing line of the next log that comes down. This is a complete waste of time as the next one goes out in a different direction, to roughly the same effect.
Eerin is quite flash as he rockets the last log sending out debris everywhere, which does not kill any more troopers than a siomple shot but looks good. Only trouble is, blowing away troops at the base makes little difference to the main fight; not as if the troopers are short on reserves. And they can mount the structure from too many directions for his shooting to prevent reinforcement.
Eerin is still under fire from Arvus; he dodges out the way but his frames aren't looking healthy.
Not that the hassle is only one way; Rylis is still under triple fire which she is only partially dodging.
Jaiden has opened up with his concussion rifle at the Osokans some way up; I'll hold Janthis' frames this time but not again.

The first shot has been fired at Drakkon! Jaiden fires his concussion rifle at the Top Pig. But the shot goes wide, blasting a chunk out of the structure instead.
The triple-fire from the Rebels on Rylis continues- though this turn it does not go that well. Enough to rule Rylis out of action though.
Note- please check frames, people. Arvus has based his action on Lyle's, who does not arrive until frame 20. He fires at Cass, landing a hit.
But as this duelling continues, Imperial players are starting to worry more about the battle. Janthis is leading men up the steep steps, whilst Coll is organising them from the base.
Drakkon orders another charge- the next wave of Osokans is incoming.
