"It's a trap!"

That reminds me, isn't Loum kind of superficially similar to the battle of Endor?

I mean, Evil Empire leaks plans about a superweapon (Death Star II/Colony Drop) so they can lure the good guy's fleet into a massive trap.

The main difference being that Zeon was never intending to actually pull a second Colony and was actually successful in destroying the Federation's fleet.

@AbZHz101
You didn't respond to which target so I can't roll opposition yet. This turn, you'll have two attacks, one of them being your +3 shoot. Which enemy vessel / suit / fighter will you engage? Please be timely.

Sorry. Basement flooded. Closest one I guess.

Aliexster · Dec 29, 2015

Alright, so the Zaku's are coming at us, Rhea is going to try and actually cause some damage to the oncoming enemy. Going to try and fire off a missile at the closest mobile suit. Should be well within range with Saberfish's boost power.

Spiffy · Dec 29, 2015

Shooting for one of the MS-06's. 4+ Attack from skill, 1+ from cannons and another 2+ from Guntank stunt.

Fox Three probably. Go for it.

Okay, I'll have you engage a Musai. Rolling oppo.

The Zaku II is destroyed. As the formation tries to close in, a trio of Zaku IIs emerges from inside the vessel and tries to engage at close range, Range 2. The formation is at Range 5 from the Fuji, Spiffy, Kensai and the enemy fighters.

Use the other set of missiles, I suppose.

Edit: Result is... -1.

Gotten up a post finally to the best of my ability, will correct any errors when I am in a less sleep deprived state.

Go for it, I'll try to update it soon.

Thanks !

Anyway rolling to Shoot one of the Zakus at Range 5 with the Anti-Ship Rifle.

+3 Skill and +2 for the Rifle. (As well as +2 Damage)

Edit: :jackiechan:

NephyrisX · Dec 30, 2015

Shooting one of the Zakus at Range 4, pulling back behind the Saberfish.

Edit: Neutral.

NATO brevity codes are:

Fox One: Semi-active homing radar guided missile. Think Sparrow.
Fox Two: Heatseeker. Think Sidewinder.
Fox Three: Active radar homing. Think AMRAAM.

Or in Ace Combat terms, SAA, MSSL, and XMAA respectively.

Hoshino Yumemi · Dec 30, 2015

That's what I figured, though I know the way heat goes through space you could get a lot of mileage out of a heater.

Anyway, here goes!

And I go away with a +3. One Zaku's getting hit. Maybe.

You're in a giant robot and you are using the small, fragile fighter as cover.

That sounds honorable and smart.

Anyway, I'm going to fire off an AIM-77D at one of the Zakus.

Edit: and it's completely neutral, so +3 total.

I guess that's okay by our standards.

Citrakite · Dec 30, 2015

Follow Hoshi's lead and locking on for a missile salvo.

Spear 4-14, Fox Three.

Skill: +2, Roll: +3, Total: +5

Yeah, but I assumed that she'd be smart enough to find a better meatshield than a tin can made of aluminum, cardboard and hope.

Yes you hide behind the guntank.

tankdrop24 · Dec 30, 2015

So far we've got a bunch of +3s and a single +5, so if the enemy has worse luck than ours there's a chance that our alpha strike might just tilt the balance in our group's favor.

Blazewind · Dec 30, 2015

Axe to the face?

Edit: Nargh. Well, could be worse. 0 from dice roll, but with bonus points....

+4 Melee from Character Stats
+2 Melee from Heat Hawk
+2 From Ambush Boost

So +8 in Total.

@AbZHz101

Solid hit, 3 shifts of damage to Musai, delaying launch of more units. It looks pretty close to giving up the ghost (and may also rework mechanics on this.) You have one more attack to use.

@Aliexster

+2 vs -1. That's a solid kill on the Zaku I scrambling from the Musai-class vessels.

@Spiffy

Solid kill, Zaku II destroyed.

@Who?

Miss without assistance.

@NephyrisX

Kill on one of the Zaku IIs

@DannyboyZero

This shot is a miss, but Spiffy already destroyed the Zaku II. Pick another target and re-roll.

@Hoshino Yumemi

By this point the Zaku II attacking Spiffy has been destroyed. Hit a Gattle or try for another Zaku back behind the fighters?

@Citrakite

Locking on (an Advantage) or attacking? Enemy rolled -2, so should be successful either way.

@Blazewind

You did enough damage to the Zakus in the ambush to destroy one outright and damage another.

So I'm waiting on new actions, but I think I need to redo the damage and weapons a bit here. The hard boots with the AS rifle are overpowering normal combat and kills are a bit skewed. Armor is going to need tweaking too. After roll these attacks, I might retool the setting right now, or try to finish the encounter. What would people like? @Kensai @Louis Dabout @tankdrop24

OK I'll target the damaged Musai to finish it off with the AS Rifle ? Hopefully I'll roll better this time lol.

+3 Skill and +2 from the AS Rifle.

Kensai · Dec 31, 2015

If the encounter isn't going to last too long more, why not wait till we hit the main story? This is essentially preamble, right? There's a long way more to go. Don't think it'll spoil anything if we get another turn or two of being a bit badass. And I'm saying this as the person who's getting no benefit from those rules....

Citrakite · Dec 31, 2015

Attacking.

If we're doing so well, I wonder how crappy the rest of the Federation is doing?
