USH'S STAR WARS GAME- CAMPAIGN II EPISODE IV (RENEGADES)- Battlefield

You don't have a giant valley-collapsing bomb I am afraid.

The Selenians should look into that for future use...

Xeth is voting that the Jedi on the ground take the straight charge up the middle, then.

Denz also votes that ALL the Jedi charge up the middle and leave the Selenians to charge up the sides with Skimmer support. Sometimes "the best offence makes a great defence."

Is that the plan then? Full on attack at the centre?

I have no-better ideas, that involves less than a massive explosive.

considering there are no sides... what's left but the middle?
Only things left is air and ground... perhaps we should createt a crater or some sorts to slow them off and thus making them easy pickings for snipers?

I really would rather not just charge through the middle, but it seems like we have no other choice.

The alternative is to divide up into two groups and go at the sides. I'm still thinking of an alternate tactic. Do the selenians carry explosives; we could lure the droids further forward and detonate the explosives, destroying a few of the tanks and such. Then we counter-attack.

A full attack on the center is what we are going to go with, with Wentar in his skimmer and Vera-Kin, Denzral, Kiu, Vlad, and Jovan charging in.

Let's get this show on the road!

This is a much more open battle than befoe, though visibility is relatively short due to conflicting bombardments throwing up dist and debris. Not much cover!

This is the starting situation before you guys get there. As you have asked for a central attack, I have brought up the furthest point of the Federation advance on the ground.

As the battle goes better, the overall advance of the enemy droids will push back, else it goes forwards. If they ge to 10 out of 10 they will swarm out the valley and the battle is lost; only the narrow confines of the valley prevent their full numbers from overwhelming you.

Coming in now are Xeth, Wentar and Jovan. Xeth has no special tricks to play so he just goes in straight. 'His' Jedi Starfighter, whilst not very sturdy, is biot fatser and more manoeuvrable than the Vultures so he gets +2 dice against them in all circumstances. However, in such a large fight like this actively avoiding enemy fire is impossible so lastability is his main issue.

Jovan is on foot so I need his loadout. Wentar is on a speeder so he's using Pilot but I will want his loadout as well in case he gets off it, voluntarily or otherwise.

you need my what? 😕

btw, is one of us named Leonidas? If not, we're screwed.

Your loadout is the Blade Schticks that you have active when you go into a fight.

All Jovan has is Orthodox Guard and Cleave.

And alrighty, Xeth is ready to go in and see how this fight goes.

"Zeth, try not to get hit to badly..." Denzral whispered as he heard the radio chatter on his comlink. He turned to Kui. "Looks like we'll be together for a while." He opened a comlink channel to R4. "How are things holding up buddy?"

"I'll do my best," Xeth responds to Denzral as he races off to fight the Vulture droids.

I'll take Block, Reflection and Focussed Guard as my loadout please. Here's hoping the force is with us on this one.

Sorry I haven't had a chance to get on lately, been working full time and struggling to get a couple of essays done. I'm still at the command centre right? Anyone want me to ask the commander anything?

Did we discover the reason for the shield thingy?

I think we would've said if we did. It seems to be an effort to destabilize the shield, and that's all we know.

Ok, first lot is in. I made a Pilot roll for Wentar; he has no made it to within fighting distance of the enemy lines without being blown down, and I assume he took Jovan with him. Suddenly the fighting is almost point blank all around you; Jovan, you are two moves away from melee range.

You can all see the fighters clashing overhead- Xeth, this is a confused melee, so all you are doing is taking shots when you can.

Xeth has called in about the shield bombardment; the Selenian Marshall is studying the position of the Federation fleet on the white command table. A commentary runs

Federation fleet committed to shield bombardment now 75%. Fleet position still in high orbit.

"We now estimate some 50% of the Federation fighter force is staying in orbit to cover the fleet," says an aide.

"They are playing a conservative game," says the Marshall. "No guts."

So what are my options? Do I have any way to lower my chances to be hit or is this like my previous vehicle fight where I just pick a target and fire?
