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

Family problems, and chance of home-less-ness. I'll get on when I can but otherwise I'm not so sure what my immediate future holds. I want to continue with this but solid online time is now definately uncertain. I'm sorry guys, but just know this is my own fault and a situation I have to rectify. Even if it means finding a new place to live. 🙁

Fine, I'll move forward and attack a Super Battle Droid while tapping Orthodox Guard to draw in some attackers then I'll tap Riposte to eliminate them.

If they get initiative, I'll have Denz attack a Super Battle Droid when it reaches Denz and tap Riposte, staying amongst the Selenians.

Vlad will shoot a vulture.

Wow, that really sucks, Jedireaper. Best of luck to you, man.

Initiative roll is drawn, initiative switches to bad guys!

The droidekas deploy a little further back as the droids advance. Their shields flare into life. Next turnm, the droids will have bypassed the Selenian cover.

Vera survives her barrage very well but the Droideka is the one that causes her trouble, managing to inflict some damage. Still in cover, Denz is safe. She cuts down a Mark II, earning her six points of protection against their fire. But now the tanks are advancing... and suddenly find themselves running into an isolated Jedi!

Note- I mixed up which Mark II group advanced and which stayed for you- do you wish to change that action?

Denz charges out to attack! I shall save his Riposte until next turn as the enemy moving first means they won't fire in his melee range until then.

-

In the air, Vlad and Xeth still find their mark and Wentar distracts well (though his attacdkers rolled like crap), but the situation does not look good. Your shield alarms are going off all over, Xeth!

And now, coming in from the side, is a squadron of new fighters. Sleek, pointed wedge-shaped fighters, clearly capable of use in space.

Can I have changed that action to an attack on the damaged Droideka in Vera-Kin's presence?

This action, though, I think five tanks and a bunch of battle droids is a bit much for Vera-Kin. Can she utilize a combination of Dash and Defensive Leap to return to the Selenians?

Xeth struggles with the controls as the shields flare and the ship pitches when a direct hit is made on the port side by the swarming vultures. He sees the incoming craft and tries to hail one of them via headset while targeting another vulture.

"This is Xeth Tam of Nexu's Grin, please identify yourselves," Xeth says, loudly to be heard above the sounds of battle, partly just due to adrenaline.

He squeezes off another shot at a vulture as he does this.

"Those don't look like Vultures..." Could the Federation be deploying a new fighter force or is this aid from another nation? Wentar wonders.

3 more distractions on the Vultures. Hoping for more bad rolling on their part.

And one more question from me, here. If the tanks open fire at Vera-Kin, will their heavy weapons take some battle droids out too?

Not if you are moving out of there at the same time, no.

But if she stays in the area, yes?

Err... well, yes but... that's a trade they'll take.

"We have guests, eh?" says Vlad as he takes another shot at a vulture.

"So it seems," Xeth says to Vlad. "Hopefully they're friendly!"

Vera, you shouldn't stick around. Defensive Leap would keep you clear but I don't think they'll get that much friendly fire out of it. Go help the Selenians.

I think I am going to assume Vera's retreat action.

Oh wow, I totally didn't post my action. Yeah, Vera-Kin is going to use Defensive Leap to protect herself and then Dash back to the Selenian lines. It will come off as some ridiculous leap where Vera-Kin propels herself onto a tank and rebounds off of it.

Vera gets the heck out of there, at heavy Force cost.

Denz, entirely exposed, is taken out the fight, though he downs three Mark IIs with his Riposte first.

Droideka fire takes down a field guns the advancing tanks fire on the speeders, taking one loss for two kills. The field guns down another droideka in return.

-

"Hold fire, that's a friendly," a voice from the new ships comes as they fly over Xeth's ship and go on the attack. Xeth misses his shot but Vlad scores a direct hit.

Elerian, eh? I don't have enough armor left to distract without unreasonable risk. Time to switch to offense. Wentar will make an attack on a vulture.

Vera-Kin will attack two Mark II battle droids at the Selenian lines and tap Cleave.

Xeth smiles as the wedge-shaped Elerian craft blast apart a grouping of vultures.

"Welcome to the dogfighting!" Xeth says, greatly relieved. "We MUST keep those vultures away from the artillery or this fight for Mopet Valley will be dragged out longer than it already has. Happy hunting!"

Xeth chases the vulture that he missed and gets a second lock on it, making sure he has it targeted before blasting at it again.

Luckily, you guys win initiative as Vera cuts two down fior six points of immunity. It all gets blown away in one round and she takes a hit as well!

A ferocious exchange of heavy fire takes place at the lines- and suddenly two of the speeders are blown to pieces by an orbital strike, which no-one knew was incoming as no Jedi are posting from the command centre.

Now outnumbered, however, the Vultures begin to suffer very badly...
