ARC Troopers

[DeepSpacer]

Time to stop those bombers!!! he thinks to himself. Do bombs drop in space? Oh, whatever....

"Get ready to take on those bombers, boys! They can be devastating to capital ships. Raise the shields! Stay on target!"

Spoiler:

Did not find any stats on the CIS Bombers, so I will assume the speed to be the same, for now (3).

Maneuver: Evasive Maneuvers
Action: Field Commander

> Improved Field Commander Action: 2Diff (YYYB vs DD) Leadership check. Allies = Double Presence (6) can take +1 Strain to perform 1 free Maneuver (Or, Spend Triumph to be an Action).


Big Ten; SotR; Improved Field Commander:
4 Successes, 0 Advantage, 1 Triumph,



All Players can take +1 Strain to perform ONE Action, per Improved Field Commander. I suspect that last Vulture will be toast before we attack the bombers, but the rest can get in a prepared Assist or Aim before the bombers come up.

[crazybirdman]

Acting on his commanders orders, Fuse fires another shot at the remaining Vulture droid...

Spoiler:

Fuse; Arc troopers; Gunnery-:
1 Success, 1 Advantage



Just making sure this is correct: Free action from deepspacer. 2 upgrades to gunnery check due to weapon upgrade, no aiming, and upgrade the skill check because of evasive manuevers

[kanila]

”Pulling up hostiles in this sector now.” Doc starts plugging away at the scanners in an attempt to feed targets to the gunners for follow on shots.

Spoiler:

Doc; Scouts of the Republic ; Scanners - Computers check:
1 Success, 3 Advantages



Pass boosts to gunners or pilot due to enemy ship locations?

[swrider]

As the battle rages on the communication light comes on in the console. Six appears a few moments latter. "General Skywalker is ordering you to the plants surface. General Kenobi Reports that the debris from the destroyed Droid ships contained hidden aqua droids. The city will be under attack shortly.

[ThreeBFour]

Ice looks to Big Ten "Shall we? Don't want to keep those tin cans waiting.

---

"Woo-hoo a solid surface under our feet. Wook shouts from where he's replacing the floor hatch in the main cabin. I'm in."

[DeepSpacer]

"Down we go!" replies the pilot. "the big boys can handle the fight up here."

[swrider]

The battle continues to rage as your ship turns towards the atmosphere. As you enter the scene is relatively calm besides the churning ocean and falling debris. No signs of droids can be seen at present. You fly past the numerous open landing zones to one of the large covered domes. A hangar bay can be seen there along. Upon landing you are greeted by Commander Cody and Captain Rex who instruct you to head to the balcony overlooking the bridge to the landing pads. You are to take up sniper positions and keep off the droids as long as possible.

Spoiler:

your characters were trained here. you have an intimate knowledge of the city and its operations. The area spoke about is quite familiar to you. Their is a railing on the bridge the bottom foot of which is solid affording some level of protections to a sniper laying prone.

[swrider]

Making your way through the city you quickly find yourselves on the "Bridge" a walkway on the upper levels of one of the dome structures. The walk way looks down over the walkways and landing pads between the various domes. No sooner do you arrives than several aqua droid landing vessels land on the pads. Squadron after squadron of droid begins exiting the ship. Additionally some of the squid like penetration vehicles can be seen piercing in to the armor of the domes at various locations or shooting their vehicle weapons at ill defended clone troopers. A small ledge and a railing line the side of your walkway. They will provide little cover unless you lie prone, but your elevated position should give you the upper hand on the droids.

Spoiler:

Please feel free to start taking your turns. remember ten actions and ten free maneuvers each. You may also purchase another 10 maneuvers for 2 strain each. Please add two setback dice to any attacks you make. These represent the fire from the majority of the droids shooting up at you. Two threat generate a hit from a single blaster.

grenades get +1 range band due to elevation.
the droids start at extreme personal range, you may begin shooting at any distance you would like. Over the course of your "round" they will make it to short range. This can be represented by a drop in range for every three of your rounds. So if you start shooting at long range it would be. 1st-3rd shoots PPPSS 4th-6 shoot PPSS 7-10 Shoots PSS IIRC

[DeepSpacer]

BigTen keys in his telescopic sight (Long range reduced to Medium difficulty) and Aims in order to get the drop on them as they come off the landing craft. His spray of blaster rifle fire fails to connect with any bucketheads to do damage, but it does manage to knock two of them off the docks into the ocean, taking them out of play for a short bit (A Triumph and 3 Advs).

Spoiler:

Maneuver: Aim (+1 Boost)
Action: fire weapon
Quick Strike: +2 Boost vs those who have not acted. (For first rounds at long distance)
+1 Boost from higher elevation

DANG!!! Double-failures on two dice!!!

Big Ten; SotR; Ranged-Heavy Attack:
0 Success, 3 Advantages, 1 Triumph,



Taking the liberty of interpreting the scene and doing what a Triumph and 3 Adv WOULD have done on a hit by taking out two aqua droids, temporarily. I liked it better than being a bit meta-gamey in passing all the extras to myself.

[DeepSpacer]

BigTen keep up the tempo, firing his weapon repeatedly.

Spoiler:

R2: 11 Damage -7 Soak = 4 Damage (1hp left on minion WT 5)
R3: 13 Damage - 7 Soak = 6 Damage (minus one minion WT 5)

Fuse sidles up to the edge of the bridge and prepares to join the assault. (Round 1: 2 maneuvers) he loads an Ion grenade into his under barrel launcher and then takes aim at a large group of aqua droids, hoping to at least make a dent in a the wave. They are far away, but from this height he should just be able to hit them (Round 2: maneuver, action) Happy with the target he's found he focuses his aim even more and fires. . .

Spoiler:

Fuse; ARC Troopers; Ranged Heavy:
2 Successes, 1 Advantage


OOC: with Master Grenadier, that's enough to activate blast, but not sure how many droids are nearby. So 12 Ion damage to the main droid (enough to take it out), and 9 to those nearby (putting them at 2 Ion damage taken).

He smiles, "This may be more fun then I thought after all." and prepares to fire again. (Round 3: 2 maneuvers [2 strain], 1 action) he loads another Ion grenade and takes aim at another droid in the same group before firing again . .

Spoiler:

Fuse; ARC Troopers; Ranged Heavy:
1 Success, 3 Threats


OOC: that's one more droid down, 1 strain and a hit taken. Gonna stop here for now to give other troopers a turn, then take 3 turns at medium range later.

He frags another droid, but take a blaster bolt himself. "Ok, maybe not that much fun."

[ThreeBFour]

"This ought to be as easy as shooting ichthyofuna in a rotund storage device." Wook says as he steps from the door way he was using as cover from the marching droids, and quickly throws the 3 ion grenades he was carrying, missing with all 3. One lands in front of one of the droids as they advance around an air intake vent. the other 2 fly off the platform from Wook over throwing them. "Guess I spoke too quickly. I don't know what it is, I did great in training last....umphff! He grunts as a blaster bolt takes him in the right shoulder spinning him slightly.

Spoiler:

Strong Arm Talent adds range band to throws (medium to long in this case). Damage from Ion Grenade 10 minus soak (Blast 7, Disorientate 5)
[/thrt][/thrt] from the 3 rolls will cause 1 hit and a strain. (10 damage minus 6 soak for 4 wound)

Ice listens to Wook's bragging as he carefully aims at a droid before his 1st shot.

"Wook if you are done screwing around, use those foam grenades I gave you and see if you can't stick some of them to the decking."

[crazybirdman]

As the droid swarm surges forward, Fuse doesn't let up his attack. (Round 4: 2 maneuvers) He loads another Ion grenade and then takes aim, not bothering to try and find the droids he previously fired upon. (Round 5: maneuver, action) He lines up his shot and fires . . .

Spoiler:

Fuse; ARC Troopers; Ranged Heavy:
2 Successes, 2 Advantages



OOC: with Master Grenadier, that's enough to activate blast, So 12 Ion damage to the main droid (just enough to take it out), and 9 blast damage to those nearby (putting them at 2 Ion damage taken).

He doesn't pause, not wanting to lose sight of the same group of droids, (Round 6: 2 maneuvers [2 strain], 1 action) he loads another Ion grenade and takes aim at another droid in the same group before firing again . .

Spoiler:

Fuse; ARC Troopers; Ranged Heavy:
0 Success, 0 Advantage

. . . but doesn't hit his target.

He silently curses to himself for missing. As he reaches bag to grab another ion grenade, he realizes he is out. He curses again and prepares to fire his blaster. "Fine, well do this the hard way"

While his second shot missed, Ice was happy that the other two hit their marks, and the second shot did have the advantage of causing one of the droids to side-step directly into his sight for the third shot.

[crazybirdman]

As the droids continue to press forward, Fuse lets his instinct take over and starts firing at the any droids dumb enough to step into his sights. . .

Droid after droid falls under the onslaught of fire from your elevated position. Just as you feel you have stemmed the tide two additional transports land unloading additional troops. Heavy blaster fire erupts from the side of you. Multiple bolts strike Blast and Dusty who fall to the ground with large gaping holes in their armor where they lay lifeless.

Turing towards the blaster fire you see 99 a defect clone turned maintenance clone from the earliest batch. A stable at the facility you all recognize him and feel a keen friendship with the clone from your time training at the facility. He caries a heavy looking backpack and is being pursued by six aqua droids as he limps towards you as quickly as he is able.

[ThreeBFour]

Seeing that there are still a few meters between the droids and the old clone, Ice takes a moment to aim before firing at the lead droid.

As the aqua droids fall to the ground 99 calls out. "Ive got reloads and grenades in the backpack. Come out lads! From further back hidden within a few boxes you see several young clones pop out and head towards your group. "I also found these lost lads and was trying to get them back to the barracks when the Aqua droids attacked. They are everywhere.

As 99 speaks more droids can be seen moving along the upper level where you are at. Your position will be overrun shortly.

[crazybirdman]

Fuse ask 99,"Are the barracks the safest place to be right now? If so, what's the quickest way there? "
