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

That I should use a force point now on strike you mean?

Yes. It gives Jovan +3 to his Lightsaber pool, meaning you have a better chance of hitting the BV50 (which you need right now, since it has a Defense of 5 and a Parry of 3, meaning the three dice you do have left are not enough to get through the shield; Strike gives you more dice).

Good advice, I'll do that!

Ok, let's go!

Jovan kicks in a Force Point for a Strike... and four successes on his attack roll is a hit! He ctahces a tiny notch on its side as it goes spinning away...

I don't have a Strike-spend confirmation on Vlad, so his blow does not go in.

Vera comes racing in for a mighty attack! Her high-probability roll gets five successes which is still two after the parry- another hit!

Denz, sadly, does not quite make it rolling three successes which do not quite make contact.

The 50's gatling guns unleash on you, firing on you guys in the oreder you got there. I have 7 damage to Jovan, four to Vlad (Balanced Guard ing you well there), 4 again to Vera, and an unlucky roll gets 6 on Denz with no Riposte trigger, I am afraid.

Meanwhile, Xeth, let us look at your troop strength:

Original descriptions were here:

-

6x Selenian Infantry: Strength 30.

3x Selenian Reserves: Sttrength 20

1x Selenian Foresters: Strength 20. Ambush: shift odds one step in your favour when fighting in difficult ground

1x Selenian SWAT Forces: Strength 30. Fragile: Can only take two hits before elimination.

2x Light Artillery. Strength 20. Bombard- can lend strength from reserve sections

2x Armoured Speeders: Strength 30. Fast: Can re-deploy at double speed and gain +50% Strength on a flank attack. Charge: +50% Strength when attacking. [i]Anti-armour: Whilst not armoured unit themselves, these units nullify the advantage an enemy force has for having armoured units in i.[/i]

4x Dorgonath Assault Troops: Strength 30. Charge: +50% Strength when attacking

2x Mounted Riflemen: Strength 30. Fast: Can re-deploy at double speed and get 50% bonus on flank attacks

2x Dorgonath Battlecrawers: Strength 40. Armour unit. Slow: Take twice as long to re-deploy

3x Kaldan Beastmasters: Strength 20. Anti-infantry- Double strength on attack if enemy force consists of Infantry. Multiple beastmasters only get strength increase if there are multiple enemy infantry units on a 1-1 basis

5x Gothan Militia: Strength 15

Again a retarded question of me. I did Strike, so is that "activated" till further notice or do I have to do that again this turn?

I am afraid that Force powers work for just the one turn.

Do we know how much HP the BV50 has?

Nope! But it won't be ecessive as damage capacity is generally related to size.

Seeing as the BV-50 is about half the height of a man, it can't be that much...

Now that we have all the Strengths of the units and how many there are, what are the rules for going about arranging them on the battlefield? You did mention that it is only a straight line this time around, instead of how the Battle of Lanzar was handled.

Also, deployment I am curious about. And how to trigger flanks. The Dorgonath are going to want to smash straight into the battle droids, but a straight fight could go badly.

Also, to coordinate everyone-

Kiu- should spend a point on Dash to get to the others, then wail on the BV-50 with a Forward Guard tap, then swap for Balanced Guard (unless the BV-50 moves away.)

Jovan- spend another point on Strike to hit the BV-50. If you want, also spend a point on Evade to raise your Defense so it has a harder time hitting you.

Wentar- whack away.

Vlad- spend a point on Strike to hit the BV-50.

Vera- swap stuff, woman. How'd you forget that?

I'll swap RIposte with Gunslinger until further notice. Basically I'll chop chop chop away too.

Looking back Vera did request her tapped guard be swapped for Balanced guard.

Wentar will focus on and attack the BV-50 this round. Bodyguard on... Vera this time?

Denzral should spend a Force point on Strike maybe.

So basicly, the bigger the more HP? Then I hope I'm not a midget of 1.5meters!

I edited in the Balanced Guard for Vera, whom I shall now wait on.

Spend on strike, why not.

Thanks Wentar; hush your face, Xeth. 😛

Vera-Kin, after scraping the BV-50 with her lightsaber, keeps up the effort with her attacks.

Ok, let's see. I'll have to hold a couple of actions I am afraid.

Wentar leaps up and takes a blow0- no avail, I am afraid. Jovan takes a Strike... but this time just gets the three successes, not enough I am afraid! No good from vera either. That leaves enz... ahh, unlucky. Orthodox Guard onverts a 1, but that is still only three successes. You cannot get a hit through the shiled!

At which point the tissue disruptor activates; a cracking violet wave that discharges out from the BV-50 in all directions, burning as it goes. That is ten damage to almost all of you.

Vera-Kin is briefly caught off-guard by the sudden detonation of the tissue disruptor, agonized as her robes catch fire. Without relenting on the BV-50, she tosses off her robe while driving her lightsaber into the shield in hopes of pushing through.

Vera is going to swap out Block.
