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

Unless he is throwing anti-tank rockets at the tank, there's nothing suitable around to Bombard, no.

How many battle droids will be focusing on Jovan and Wentar this turn? And if they both make an attack on a tank, will that dismantle it? Say one of them severs the main gun and the second disabled the engines with a well-placed lightsaber thrust.

I can't give that precise information I am afraid; they have sensed the increased danger is all.

Their attack deoends on their roll. Wentar has droids between him and a tank of course.

Could he use Leaping to jump over them, land on the tank and attack in the same turn? Or would he need Charge for something like that?

Takes a force roll, but possible.

Okay... so here's what I'm thinking...

Wentar will make that Jump roll over onto the tank and take out the gun, while Jovan moves around to take out the tank's engine. This will disable it.

How does that sound to you guys?

just to be sure: Wentar and I are taking on the same tank?

Yes. It will render it immobile and unarmed. I would say that you should just make it immobile, but with only two Selenian speeders left, it would be best to just scrap the thing.

Ah damn. I knew I was forgetting something.
Your plan works for me Xeth. I'll use Leaping to get to the tank, attack it's gun and then swap out Reflection for Bodyguard... Anything else I need to do after that?

That should pretty much be your turn. Maybe nominate a battle droid shooting at you with Focussed Guard to shave one die off the attacks coming your way?

I think if I do that I lose the defense against everything else shooting me. However after I swap in Bodyguard should I use it on Jovan right away?

Jovan has a defense equal to yours, but if he taps his Guard at any point it'd be useful.

Ah, so best wait till later then, eh?

Unfortunately a bit of a misrake here. The droids go first and pour a massive volley of firepower into Jovan and Wentar, both of whom are easily visible in an open battlefield I have 15 attacks on each of you. I did give a warning about being targeted; you get these warnings courtesy of the Force and they very much should be heeded

This ends in 28 damage to Wentar and 20 to Jovan. Unfortuinate- though also hopefully part of a learning curve. When a small army is about to fire on you, that's a good time to either post a defensive action or use a defensive power/schtick.

On the bright side, your moves go extremely well. Wentar passes his Force and Agility roll to soar through the air and land on a tank, burying his sabre in it, as Jovan runs up to it and hacks into its vitals from the rear. Your combined assault brings the tank down.

That's it for the friendly speeders! Now the enemy tanks will look for new targets...

Your defences go well again Xeth; you take just one hit.

we're not being targeted by the droids now? Are other Jedi coming in or are we all alone?

Denzral Vassisk clicked on his comlink. "Selenian Command. Is there any way for your people to change the frequency of your shields to create come kind of static field, or a dampening effect. It should temporarily disrupt communications signals from the Trade Federation control ships. We could press the advantage." He sighed. "If not, do you have orbital based defensive cannons such as an Ion cannon?"

Command isn't taking convos by radio I am afraid; they are very busy and comms traffic is still a big problem with the Union disruption. If you want to talk to them in any detail you need to go there.

Blimey, you have three Jedi on-scene already... that's all you have, Jovan. As for the droids, well their tactic seems to be working so they'll probably keep shooitng, yes. The good nes is that you are distracting them from firing at the Selenians.

pardon me for finding that bad news ... better they're dying than me. 😉

so, we're doing a new AAT or the droids?

You might actually want to go on the defensive for a turn as the droids are swamping you with blaster fire. Both you and Wentar have Defensive Leap, you could use that to raise your defense and also leap to cover?

Also, Ush, you forgot to do Wentar's Reflection-for-Bodyguard swap.

I'm at the Command, is there anything anyone wants me to do/ask here?
