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

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."

Posted for you a few pages back. 🙂

we jump behind an AAT or something fancy?

It would be useful as cover! Can they do that, Ush?

So long as it is not moving!

The one they disabled should qualify as 'not moving,' I assume.

Defensive Leap into cover behind the AAT sounds like a great idea. Also Sean should see if they know anything more about that BV-50, damn thing is still out there somewhere.

It might be overkill to both leap and move to cover... or they might roll well. Your call.

The defense bonus from Defensive Leap is cumulative with Guard defenses, right? So then the droids just wouldn't have dice against them... whereas if they just move into cover they will have their Defense and then one or two points of Parry?

Indeed so.

How much cover is the armored tank worth?

At first, two.

Then Jovan and Wentar should just move into cover, without using Defensive Leap.

Can they attack as they move into cover?

Afraid not.

They're still drawing gunfire, that alone should help the Selenians turn the tide.

What if just Wentar goes to cover and uses Bodyguard on Jovan, would he still get the cover bonus even if he remains out and attacks?

Unfotunately Bodyguard cannot transmit cover bonuses.

Not a bad idea, though. Nice try, Craft.

Xeth is going to try tying up four starfighters again with his evasive flying.

Question... I'm able to distract more than one fighter, am I able to shoot at more than one?

Different idea (Annoying I know)! Jovan has saber throw. Would he be able to use it on... something (Droid or AAT) and get behind cover before the droids fire? With Wentar bodyguarding him he wont lose any defense for it. If that idea is also a bust then I'll just stick with the two of us moving to cover. 😛

Personally I'd save the Force point and just concentrate on your immediate safety...
