    Plan TANK SHOCK

    -Close to Knife before shooting
    -Shoot first
    -Ram the other

    YOU GOT BIG BALLS MR CRUNCHY, LET'S HAVE A GO

    (it has occurred to me that I might be coming up with plans better suited for the Legion than the NCR's finest)

    Your plan here is the same as another plan, and not formatted to a vote for the tally:

    [X] Plan DRIVES FAST
    -[X] Shoot first.
    -[X] Close to Knife range before attacking.
    -[X] Instead of shooting, ram them!
     
    3.1: Crunch
  • Threadmarks
    • "Drives Fast!" You shout. "Give Trudy her shot!"

    "I'll give her a shot," Drives Fast shouts, then throws the Wandering Home forward as you put your hand to your headset.

    "Everyone, we have two, I repeat, two PBAs on play, we have Legion PBA, in front of the cinema!" Inaccurate, but close enough.

    "Understood, Sandman-2!"

    Machine gun tracers started to whip around the two armored figures. You see the one with the gatling laser is bringing it around, trying to bear on your tank - but Drives Fast has taken her name to the upper limit of what is expected or possible. The two of them swell, and they both break apart. The Enclave with the gauss rifle stumbled through the mud and the dust, smoke shrouding him from view.

    "Traverse left!" you shouted as the gatling laser swung to aim right at you, bullets sparking from Dora's MG off his chest, shoulders, helmet. It didn't even seem to jar him. Trudy listened to you - and good thing too.

    The gauss gunner became visible as smoke drifted apart.

    The barrel seemed to line up with him - a mere ten meters apart.

    "ON THE WAY!"

    The cannon roared and smoke slapped against your face - and then an almighty rattling crunch. The left half of your tank rocked upwards and Mask grunted as he was flung against your side. The smoke cleared and you saw that there was no Enclave ahead of you - the gatling laser gunner had gone under the tread, though the crunching, rattling, banging noise he had made going under made you wince.

    You could barely think about that, though.

    To the left, the gauss gunner was standing next to a furrow in the dirt, aimed, almost point blank at the front of your tank.

    —
    Oh shi-
    [ ] You have taken 6 damage from running over Orion Moreno and 12 damage from the gauss rifle vote!

    to be clear, you need to spend the damage separately! they're not added together! this is good because if you take too much damage at once your tank explode!!!

    reposted this too

    • Hmm.

    Fuel leak seems like an obvious one here, at the end of a boss battle. The bow gun also seems expendable. We could distribute some injury if we need to. Probably not engine or tracks, thought. I want to maintain our mobility because it's one of our biggest assets. I suppose we could deal with turret ring failure here, maybe. Ramming worked pretty damn well and canister doesn't care all that much where the gun is pointed under the circumstances. Thoughts, anyone?
     
    Do we still have the pintle MG to lose? It seems to me that we could probably afford to lose that so long as we still have the co-ax.
     
    [X] Plan Oh No, Anyway
    -[X] 6 Damage from running over PA
    -[X] 3 - Crew Shaken (3)
    -[X] 3 - Crew Stunned
    -[X] 12 Damage from Gauss Rifle
    -[X] 3 - Crew Shaken (3)
    -[X] 3 - Crew Stunned
    -[X] 6 - Fuel Leak

    I can just imagine there's a lot of banging going on beneath the tank, shaking up the crews all over, and when Cannibal Johnson fired his gauss rifle, it luckily didn't hit the most important part of a tank, the crew, it however went through everything else, like the fuel tank, still shaking the crew and instrument quite violently though.

    EDIT:
    Oh wait just read about damage being taken separately so...

    That should work right?

    [X] Plan Oh No, Anyway

    This is fun, though it seems like it's just inviting us to get immediately shot again.
     
    Yeah, the gauss gunner at the very least is still active, crew stunned and massively suppressed is game over - we'd just get shot again, allocate more damage, take more stun and shaken, repeat until dead.

    [X] Plan Ablative Bow Gun(ner)
    -[X] 6 Damage from running over PA
    -[X] 6 - Fuel Leak
    -[X] 12 Damage from Gauss Rifle
    -[X] 3 - Gun Broken (Bow MG)
    -[X] 3 - Minor Injury (Dora)
    -[X] 3 - Minor Injury (Dora)
    -[X] 3 - Minor Injury (Dora)

    Sorry Dora. >_>

    The bow gun goes silent, replaced with a mass of twisted metal. Dora swears violently, which you didn't know she was programmed for but would fit with the bit of her carapace you're pretty sure just bounced off your leg. And you're pretty sure that you can smell biodiesel, which doesn't bode well. You can only hope that your leaking fuel tank took its revenge by leaking on the armor that punched a hole in it.

    Weird question that just occurred to me, is Wandering Home's M-number classification M7 Oliver, or M9 Oliver? It's listed on the character sheet as M7, but the engagement with the M9 MacArthur refers to Wandering Home as an M9 Oliver, and references the two different vehicles sharing the same M-number. I know it's probably needlessly pedantic, but I was curious.

    It's MX, where X is the number it should be!

    (I think I fucked it up a few times.)
     
    I should probably check how durable people actually are under these rules...

    @DragonCobolt Is "3 injuries to Dora" going to actually threaten her, or is she just going to need some time at a mechanic to recover?
     
    Ah. Okay. In that case, balls to that plan. Uhhh. That makes things... difficult.

    Can we take multiple fuel leaks?

    [] Plan Lol Fuel
    -[X] 6 Damage from running over PA
    -[X] 6 - Fuel Leak
    -[X] 12 Damage from Gauss Rifle
    -[X] 3 - Gun Broken (Bow MG)
    -[X] 3 - Minor Injury (whoever's current least injured)
    -[X] 6 - Fuel Leak

    Alternatively, we can dump everything on the engine and try to kill the other guy before he kills us:

    [X] Plan DPS Race
    -[X] 6 Damage from running over PA
    -[X] 6 - Fuel Leak
    -[X] 12 Damage from Gauss Rifle
    -[X] 11 - Immobilized
    -[X] 1 - Crew Shaken
     
    You cannot take multiple fuel leaks, sorry!

    EDIT; oh also you aren't setting yourself up for stunlocking! Crew stunned only means you have disadvantage forward!

    [X] Plan: Avoid Stunlocks, shoot back
    -[X] 6 damage from crash
    -[X] Minor Injury: Dora, Mask (6)
    -[X] 12 damage from Gauss
    -[X] Gun Broken: Front mounted MG (3)
    -[X] Minor Injury: Dora, Drives Fast (6)
    -[X] Optics Hit: Hull MG (2)
    -[X] Crew Suppression (1)

    Dora and Mask got bounced into something when the tank listed, the gauss shot gouged out across the armor to wreck the hull MG and caused a bit of shrapnel in the front hull seats. Still full combat viability without losing a crewmember yet.

    Though next gauss hit is going to do some serious damage or risk killing crew if we don't finish this soon.
     
    I feel like two injuries to the same person might end up still being pretty dangerous, especially if they already have an injury...
