USH'S MATRIX GAME 2006 THIRD ASSIGNMENT- 'The Fortress'

Well, I was one of those that quickly joined with Dallas, so he shouldn`t hold a grudge....

Maybe Dallas can join up with Marduk's group while the Shezzies go grab Melkor?

-

Melis resorts to using her hands, punching into a Sentinel in a quick exchange, then twists aside from any attacks coming her way.

(tap LA, swap LA for HL)

And before I completely forget...Barb has asked me to relay that for his last turn and this he will tap IB on sentinels while moving with the group (his computer has died, again...).

Balder will unload on the sentinel nearest to Melkor tap LR, and fire on another while running towards where he fell.

Anyone want to help me?

Okay, I'm going to issue some orders...those in bold are urgent...

BURN - You're two points from dropping. Tap KW and tap CC on the Sentinel in Doorway East and three in South Columns East, then get out the door as quick as you can. Swap something out.

FIRE - Keep with Burn, he's going to drop soon, and you're going to need to grab him. That, or spend this turn to tap HC on Burn...

BALDER - Go get Melkor; thanks for volunteering. Hopefully Burn will follow directions and clear out most of the opposition.

HEPH, SIRIN, HAWK - Keep clearing Center Columns Middle, everyone will get through if we smash enough of them this round.

-

Mors is going to join Balder, charging in with his katana and cutting down a Sentinel, then thrusting his palm into the underside of another.

(tap HT)

Sirin jumps and kicks a Sentinel solidly in the face, then brings her fists up in a reflexive attack on another Sentinel.

(tap HT, tap LA, swap LA for BGB)

Heph steadies Ares on his shoulder with one hand, slamming the other into the leg joint of a Sentinel, reversing its leg. He then performs a spinning kick to parry the attack of another Sentinel...

(not using VG, tap HT, swap HT for SE)

Hawk takes aim with his Glocks and fires at all four sentinels at three damage with a CC tap.

Further directing...

HAWK - Klez is firing at two of those, so pick another two...

BURN - Change your targets to the one in Doorway East, and then three in Center Columns East.

Mors is moving to Center Columns East, as is Balder, I presume, as we're still a block or two ahead...

Add for clarification:

Yes, my move is to Center Columns East.

Actually I'd say Klez should go for ones that are hit for 2; he's got more pool, as well as EE, and would be more likely to kill those than Hawk would.

No real orders from me, just everyone keep up what they're doing.

Good point, San. Klez will shoot for two at two, then. Hawk, knock 'em dead!

Unless you get HC tapped on you this turn, though, you won't likely get another chance to use it...

If you tap KW this round, I don't see the harm in saving the CC tap...

Fine I'll tap KW.

I'll use my HC on you when we reach the door.

5-1; your initiative

Fair enough, Fire! Got confused with Melkor's.

Helios, I think you could arrange your loadout better.

Klez- gets kills- well spotted on re-targetting him; very inefficient for those who can penetrate armour to go for wounded sentinels

Mors- Dallas' orders have not changed. Get to the doorway, was what he said, and ASAP. So get out the darn circle, is what Dallas would say.

Melis... I hate to point this out, but you get fewer dice with your hands than you had with the spear. Still, you just rolled six successes on your unarmed attack there, so judge for yourself how fate is going to call it.

Balder bravely breaks out to go get Melkor! He blasts down two on the way. Mors, your attack (not fatal) is on the way out, not the way in.

Hawk- loadout illegal, attack cancelled, turn lost. Gah! Watch for that, they need that firepower.

Well, Dallas is finally though! Marduk, meanwhille, taps CC on the mass of sentinels approaching from the north.

Bad guys!

Dallas taps LA

In the Marduk group- and a shame he has not been able to post, but as ever, that is how it goes- Cloud falls under the repeated Sentinel attacks!

Having switched away from his guns (which he misfired anyway), Hawk has no chance as he has no defence. He is brought down swiftlky

"Lord Cardigan survived that charge, Captain Dallas. Not so many of the six hundred."

Card- 8H

I'll swap HT for HL and use it on Burn. Meanwhile I'll change from Katana to Ingrams

Use what, sorry?
