Gah, more disables. I guess that's better than Hull damage at the very leasts but one less chance of Evading means Jumper can't dodge more than one Sensor Contacts.
The Engineers should move unto the Guiducci and repair its Engines this Turn.
The Amphi-Assaults and the Outriders need to go more than the Y-Wings, or at least those that aren't adjacent to them.
Recon is forced to go up north since that's four Sensor Contacts on the adjacent tiles, not to mention actual Hostile Contacts.
[X] Recon - Ian 'Jumper' Lorenze
-[X] [RED] Blaster - Attack any target within one space, if no target immediately available, will attack random target in own space after hostile action phase. (Target one of the Y-Wings in F5, if no valid target then any of the adjacent hostile contacts that are 1 HP, otherwise Overwatch)
-[X] [BLUE] Move - Move one space in the grid in any direction. (Move from F5 to F4)
-[X] [GRAY] Low Profile - Negate the next incoming attack of any kind.
@JumpStationApoll, can you take out the remaining Y-Wings in F5 with your Left/Right Blaster + Automatic Targetting combo? @_@..?
so they have 3 systems, their missiles, blaster, and engine correct?
I'm assuming if they have a damaged engine they can't move.
Does losing the missiles mean that they lose their of 1, or can their blaster still attack within 1 space?
depending on if I'm right about this, I think it might be a good idea to destroy the 3 outriders and damage the amphi on B5.
Because If I'm right about how their systems work, then 1 have a 2/3 chance of not being damaged by it since we're moving back.
And we Jam the amphi on D5
FYI, the second red order will have to be a missile - the "Order: Red" doesn't allow you to use the same action twice, it allows you to use another unused red action. Normally, I'd just do it, but since missiles are a limited resource, I wanted to confirm.

LCpl Nathanael "Nate" Weaver
"Jumper here, I'm pulling back. Gonna need some cover for me and Josh." you hear the former transmit, the little Recon E-Frame dancing among a crowd of Y-Wings as the larger repair E-Frame burns reaction mass, ambling (if such a thing is possible in the void) towards the crippled frigate.
"Isn't it Josh and I?" the greenhorn in the other trooper E-Frame replies.
"Focus on your targets, pal." Jumper replies, his voice impressively calm. If it was you, you'd have told the kid off. But, misplaced obsession with grammar aside, the kid steadies his Trooper and lets loose a barrage of blaster fire, the automatic shoulder system tracking one purple, crescent-shaped Y-Wing while a manual arm blaster peppers the other. Both Neosapien craft explode, the distraction allowing Jumper a second's opportunity to turn the little Recon E-Frame around and let loose with its arm blaster - the last of the pursuing Y-Wings loses a wing and its main engine blows out.
"Engineers, you're in the clear." Jumper reports. "But hurry it up, you don't have all day."
You nod in satisfaction, briefly turning your attention to the other flank of the furball, where Joker, Morze and Plague Doc are retreating in pretty good order. "Concentrate fire on the outriders, they're going to zip right past us if we don't pay attention." Joker calls out, again. You smirk, thinking it's a little redundant, but all three ExoFleet E-Frames open fire - even Plague Doc, who doggedly chases his target down despite getting pelted by blaster fire from a ponderous, ovoid Amphi-Assault. You briefly lose track of what's going on - at that range, you'd have to zoom in really far and you don't really have the time to do that. Maybe you'll review it on the battle recordings later. But, the sensor contacts for the outriders wink out in rapid succession, and the Amphi-Assault breaks off temporarily as a missile launched by Morze's now-freed-up ExoFighter impacts it.
"Doc, are you ok?" you hear her ask. The Wraith's pilot offers no response other than a non-committal grunt. He's probably fine, just missing some comms gear and one of the control thrusters looks shot. Literally.
An attack warning brings your attention back to your situation. "Outrider on my tail, I can't shake him." you call out - Lestari is now effectively your wing, so she knows it's for her.
"On it." she replies, changing course. You judge how long you think she'll need, then break left, allowing her a perfectly clear line of sight on the pursuing Y-Wing, which quickly gets turned into purple Swiss cheese with a few glowing red hot splotches. "Amphi-Assault has missile locked on me, cannot evade." Lestari reports.
"On it." you reply, eager for the chance to return the favor. Your blaster rakes across the offending Amphi-Assault's flank, melting its missile launcher to slag, and you grin briefly, thinking you're in the clear. But the Amphi-Assault is a tough E-Frame, and the Neo pilot simply switches to blasters as he closes the range, taking a chunk out of the Sergeant E-Frame's left arm. "Goddammit, stay still!" you say in frustration as you temporarily lose target lock.
"Guiducci reporting. Looks like we've got engine restart! Thanks for the assist, Easy squad!" the frigate reports, giving you probably the first piece of good news you've heard since... well, since its engines were disabled. Now you just have to survive being swarmed from all sides by Neosapien-piloted E-Frames.

That's.. another wave of Disables... Seven Turns for the Guiducci, no hull damage yet but I'd rather we not tempt fate. D4 is rather worrisome, I think all capital ships will be moving next turn (as already said in the log spoiler at the beginning), so all of the ExoFrames move one tile northwards might be advised whilst taking out the rest of the enemies that we can? Engineers need to start repairing nearby ExoFrames. Falcon, ExoFighter and Wraith.. are too far right now and two of them losing Evade means there's risk of more disables or worse hull damage. @_@;
[X] Recon - Ian 'Jumper' Lorenze
-[X] [BLUE] Move - F4 to F3.
-[X] [RED] Blaster - Overwatch preferably, except if there just so happens to be an active Hostile Contact on the adjacent tiles whilst at F3.
-[X] [GRAY] Low Profile
[X] Engineer B - Joshua 'Josh' Walker
-[X] Recon asks for [RED] Repair for his [BLUE] Evade?
EDIT: Forgot to put in actual directions for Recon's Orders, also added a request for Repairs from Engineer B I guess..?
Engineer A moves to north, uses their Mag Grapple towards the Endeavor to go west, ask Falcon for a [GRAY] Order: Red for an additional [RED] Repair towards Melee, who goes north, with their Laser Cutter and hold that section quite so with their usual combo.
Engineer B I'd appreciate to repair Recon's [BLUE] Evade after moving north, so that Jumper can afford to dodge hits whilst the Guiducci moves northwards slowly.
Troopers slowly dishing out the damage whenever possible.
Wraith continues to Jam D5 Amphi-Assault, making it less of a problem next turn as it wouldn't be in range of anything (barring a Commander appearing and rearing its heads).
ExoFighter is godsend for the western part with the double evade, though not for this turn, but the one after this since multiple Sensor Contacts are coming.
If you repair Recon, Recon will not be able to Move (and will most likely be overwhelmed by the Sensor Contacts). Jumper's available movement Orders is a [BLUE] one, not [GRAY], and [RED] Repair nulls any [BLUE] actions that turn. I'm aiming for your team's Engineer to actually repair Melee for the Melee-Engineer A combo next Turn for Column E. Going with the Guiducci though.. maybe you can Repair Melee whilst he's with there with Engineer A. Changing columns will be iffy though..
Hmm, good question. As written, it wouldn't work, since "move" is a blue action.
However, now that I think about it, that practically prevents the repair ability from being used at all, since there's not really an opportunity (especially in this scenario) to have an E-Frame stand still for a turn. So I'm going to relax that rule a little and say that neither E-Frame can use any Evade-type actions, but a single move by each is ok
If you repair Recon, Recon will not be able to Move (and will most likely be overwhelmed by the Sensor Contacts). Jumper's available movement Orders is a [BLUE] one, not [GRAY], and [RED] Repair nulls any [BLUE] actions that turn. I'm aiming for your team's Engineer to actually repair Melee for the Melee-Engineer A combo next Turn for Column E. Going with the Guiducci though.. maybe you can Repair Melee whilst he's with there with Engineer A. Changing columns will be iffy though..
Hmmm... appreciated then, but would you switch Orders to doing [RED] Repair to Engineer B's Evade-order instead then? We might want for everyone on our side to have the option available to them as much as we can and then just letting Engineer B handle Recon's repairs?
Since we're taking the time to move back I think we should scan the sensor on d4. The amphi isn't going to be a problem this turn.
It's the sensor contact that is splitting the left and right side as well.
Also, next turn I'm going to request engineer b to start moving to regroup with flight, wraith, and falcon. Cause we need repairs and more firepower on this side.
