Initiative to the droids this tuen means they down another field gun and inflict casualties on the Selenians.
Vlad just about makes his roll though and downs two STAPs. Vera also downs one as she jumps up as well, hacking down one in mid-air...
The droids have reached the lines!

The field guns are not in range of the tanks and the artillery is firing down the valley which was the purpose of it being there,; the droids ehre are too close in any case.
The tanks are not advancing precisely because of the field guns.
The droids have reached the lines but will have to get past them to nullify cover. Tank blasts are doing more damage than the droids to the lines.
I say switch to lightsaber, Vlad. I have a feeling that the second wave of battle droids will advance if we clear out this one, and then we can get at the tanks which currently elude us.
Vera-Kin will leap out of the trenches and hack down a pair of battle droids, tapping Orthodox Guard and Cleave, swapping out Orthodox for Balanced Guard.
Vlad and Vera both emerge from the trenches. In this set-up, the droids are certainly close enough for Vlad to find three targets and so, going first they drop five targets between them. Vera, you have achieved 8 points of protection with the Cleave tap.
Under fire, the droids are taking heavy casualties! But the now unmolested STAPs blow away another field gun.
