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

so whatcha guys think then? I say get the droid since I probably get myself electrified or something if I try it

Is Riposte any use against Destroyer Droids? And what are the senarios for killing DD's

Yes it is, Denzral. You attack the Destroyer Droids like you would the Super Battle Droids, they just take longer to put down.

What if Vera-Kin left the crowd to go escort R3? Would the crowd become too unruly?

Ok, let's move on.

I've not had a cancel from Kiu on his Evade, so h goes for it. Again, he and Denz hack down a droid a piece. Denz's tap keeps him safe from all harm, and the two remaining droids firing at Kiu miss him, and his Evade keeps him safe from the destroyer droid also! Good round.

-

Vlad- presumably pinned by the mass of droids near him- is actually lashing out using Combat, trying to smash a droid away from him with the butt of his sabre. Vlad is no slouch with Combat, having a pool of 8, and bringing in Counterstirke makes it a 10. However, Combat is much harder to get successes with- he gets neither the bonus dice that sbares get against Mooks (four extra dice), and he needs the normal 5 or more for a success, not the 4 or more a sabre needs. So, ten dice rolled, threee successes needed for a kill... and he has it! Smashing a droid down you then land on it and yank its head off, Vlad, which is strangely satisfying.

He then taps Dodge and Weave to get the hell out of dodge when the answering hail of gunfire comes at him. Against standard battle droids, that is enough for a clean round- no hits on Vlad! He's surviving very well so far in such a dangerous situation.

Wentar is still two on one as he rolls four succssess and blos a Vulture to tiny pieces. he takes three damage in return. Five Selenians are now tkaing on seven Vultures- betetr odds, but the Selenians are very battered. And indeed, their shileds have given out and they can no longer hold; you find yourself with just one companion left, Wentar. On the other hand, only three Vultures remain...

Sean is going for a straight charge down, which leaves the standard five firers shooting at him (this would have been a very good time for a Dash). The dice favour him- only two hits! He's charged down one of their covers, jumps oiver it and hacks down a droid immediately (it says something like "What the?" first). Ok, now it's on!

The field gun also takes a pot shot this turn, blowing away three more droids in the distance (they dare not fire upon the closer droids lest they hit their own side)

Yes, there would be crowd problems if Vera left. But there's no perfect solution, and if Jovan is out of other ideas (not a surprisde, it's not easy to think up new escape ideas on the spot) he might well be better employed escorting the droid into place.

I ment to move towards the Droidekas, so this turn I could Riposte them, taping it.

Don't worry, everyone is close enough together in that fight that you all count as being effectively adjacent.

Well, whats the best senario for taking on Droidekas?

They can't actually take much damage; the thing is to a. appreciate thwy will be shooting at you and they hit hard and b. generate as many dice as possible, as your first three successes through that shield will be ignored.

how come I have the feeling that if I would take the droid with me, you'll laugh at my face and point out the solution which would have warped every citizen into safety?

Anyway, I'm really out of ideas... we need something to get citizens on that moves the right way. Only thing I can possibly imagine that's left are bikes.

Haa ha! Nice Jovan. ^^

Uhm, perhaps we should retreat once we've taken the 2 remaining SBDs down... the DDs can hardly protect themselves from falling trees?

I'll switch out orthodox guard for Forward Guard, target a Droideka and tap Forward Guard.

Uh *whispers* don't you mean Balanced Guard??

Alright, things are looking better!

Forest-

Denzral, get Riposte in and tap it. If you are lucky, you will land a bonus attack on the Droideka and also bring down the SBD attacking you.

Kiu is going to weather the SBD still going for him, but at this point I think he can risk it! Good thinking on the tap of Forward Guard, Kiu. Just make sure you know that you have Balanced Guard, not Orthodox.

Guns-

Sean, might want to tap Charge, maybe? It will help clear the droids faster.

Vlad, time to go to guns! Bring in Eye of the Storm, it should keep you safe again. Might also want to bring in Carnival of Carnage and blast the crap out of the droids, just to get their numbers down. Hopefully you get a refresh soon.

Wentar, almost done with those vultures! Bring down those three and you're free to divebomb the Hailfires and help out Vlad.

Evac-

Yeah, Jovan, I've got no ideas myself. I didn't even think of the public transport system, though, so you did better than I! Get R3 over to it and it should save us a great deal of hassle.

Vera-Kin, stay where you are.

Ush, I think Xeth is ready for his next batch of evacuees if you are. He will be sure to deposit R3 into Jovan's care.

"Make sure he comes back in one piece," Xeth says. "He's the only droid I actually trust."

I'll follow BB's advice to a tee.

Who do you want to attack, Denzral? Since you're tapping Riposte and might bring down the SBD attacking you, do you want to attack another target? Either the Droideka attacking you or the SBD attacking Kiu?

I'll deal with the Droideka while I have the taps... After this turn, I'll use Gunslinger if I have to...

Gunslinger won't do anything against the Droideka. Best to stick with your lightsaber. So are you going to attack Kiu's SBD?

Next turn, gunslinger will deal with the SBD.... This turn I'm focusing on one Droideka...
