OOC: The Assault on Ione
Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
Are we on hiatus as Rider finishes his thesis? I've been having trouble accessing the site myself, so apologies.

Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
I've had a few odd happenings, myself, with regards to the site.
PC's go first, so players can act to take out as many pilots as possible. I'll consider Hell's action @swrider in the meantime. He'll likely (and cunningly) come around the back side of the building to flank the AT-ST in the distance. He may have Dennies fire the grenade launcher on the pilots OR he could have Dennies fire on the AT-ST with him. I am thinking, probably the AT-ST threat. Try to take it out first and use some DP's to up the odds.

Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
@SavageBob @DeepSpacer what issues have you been having with the site? I need to know so I can address them. That is if they are not issues with the hosting service.
Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
A few questions,
Can Hell see the pilots running from his current location?
if so, how many maneuvers would it take to position the ATST between the pilots and the tie fighters?
Could the ATST run over any of the pilots in the process?
If the ATST positions itself between the pilots and the tie fighters can Hell still take a shot on the Enemy ATST?
If hell can still target the enemy ATST what would net he number of setbacks if any?
Is the range of the grenade launcher in planetary or personals scale?
What is the difficulty of targeting the pilots with the grenade launcher?

One Maneuver to come around the building, either side. You are on the opposite side of the building. It is equidistant. After that ONE Maneuver, you would see them there and could then spend a 2nd Maneuver to take that position.
Could the AT-ST run over any of the pilots in the process?
HA-ha-ha!!! I didn't see THAT coming! I would consider that an intended Action if you made a piloting roll to see how many you could "stomp". As an incidental byproduct of passing through them with no roll? I would say that some would be hurt just by passing through their space.
Then, there is the opposing AT-ST, so taking an action to "stomp" might leave you vulnerable.
If the ATST positions itself between the pilots and the tie fighters can Hell still take a shot on the Enemy ATST?
Maneuver-Maneuver (2 strain)-Action. YES.
If hell can still target the enemy ATST what would net he number of setbacks if any?
(from smoke)
Is the range of the grenade launcher in planetary or personals scale?
Personal Scale. However, it indicates" Close" which is vehicle.
What is the difficulty of targeting the pilots with the grenade launcher?
+1 SB for smoke.
I think the stat block indicates Vehicle Weaponry when it comes to Range but Personal Scale when it comes to damage and Blast. Minion 'Dennies' has all 2's a Attributes.

There is something satisfying about making imperials go splat.

Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
Updated:
- Went for Sanguine. It'd been a while to wait.
- Took the liberty of having the minion group pilots rolls combined into ONE effect. Netted out to Zero Adv/Thr.
- @swrider The DP did not update this evening. Either "Use LS or DS" or "Update".
- We are at 3 LS, 4 DS, officially
- There are TWO sets of NPC Threats to resolve in the IC. After which, PC's can begin to go again.
Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
I'll look into it this week. You will need to keep manual track until then.DeepSpacer wrote: ↑Tue May 21, 2019 1:41 am@swrider The DP did not update this evening. Either "Use LS or DS" or "Update". [/list]

Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
PC's turn! But first, suggestions for spending the threats? BOTH form the enemy AT-ST. If not, I'll choose.
@swrider @SavageBob @SanguineAngel
Getting close to resolving the final mass combat conflict. TIE's that get off the ground and a functioning AT-ST to deal with will affect the final Mass Combat check to resolve the battle.

PLAYER OPTION: 3 Threats
1) +3 Strain
2) The initiative slot used by active player drops to last in
initiative order.
3) Active character grants the enemy an advantage in the encounter, decreasing the difficulty of checks made against it by one until beginning of his next turn. (Only One Diff to hit it next round instead of Two Diff)
4) Another?
PLAYER OPTION: 2 Threats
1) Opponent (Helios) can perform one free maneuver (Aim).
2) Gain a Boost Die
3) give it a SB die next turn.
Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
I like dropping difficulty and a boost die.
Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
I agree with Rider. Works well.

Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
@DeepSpacer once you confirm the choice I will roll for Hell and Dennies

Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
Sounds good to me.
"Do it. Do it now."
Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
I am not sure how to spend the 3 advantage from Dennies attack. I suppose that depends in part on the condition of the ATST after Hell's attack. Seven damage - armor may not be enough to disable it... or it may be I cant remember how damaged it was before this attack.
Sorry for the delay.

Repeat of previous option?
"3) Active character grants the enemy an advantage in the encounter, decreasing the difficulty of checks made against it by one until beginning of his next turn. (Only One Diff to hit it next round instead of Two Diff)"
Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
That sounds good. I am not sure how many more hits my own atst can take.
Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
Didn't we start with a dozen pilots? Or was that a dozen ties?DeepSpacer wrote: ↑Wed May 29, 2019 9:59 pmThe enemy AT-ST is staggered, but operational. It continues to be vulnerable.
@SavageBob @SanguineAngel
TIE Pilots are medium Range, but use a DS DP on any targeted attack on them --- GM's action. One SB still for smoke. (). Over a dozen pilots remain.

Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
Allied AT-ST: 7/15 WT
Allied AT-ST: 11/15 WT
Enemy AT-ST: 10/15 WT
Vehicle does 5D + Successes. Weapon has Linked. You could take a two-success, linked hit and be at 15/15 WT (staggered, but up). The 2nd gunner aboard is going to shoot at the Rebel who just gunned down about 5 pilots (Poor Thino!).
There are "cinematic" ways to go about a disabled vehicle when the PC's are aboard. But, we'll see what happens!!
{{Two dozen TIE's, Two dozen pilots.}}

Sorry. My mistake. Allied AT-ST is at 11/15 WT. (Before this upcoming action).

Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
Yes, it seems that way. Sanguine seems to have dropped from pbp since the end of April. A month. A shame... Less for this game, but more for Students of Tyranny. I loved following that game! .....stealing his GM'ing for my own use in a future game.
This next round should bring things to a conclusion with the pilots reaching the TIE's and the last Mass Combat check being made (unless everyone whiffs). Looks like Mass Combat is going our way and Ione may soon join the rebellion, but you never know when a Despair pops up on a successful Mass Combat roll.
It's been combat-heavy, but there may be "injuries" for Vesper to treat soon.

The Rule of Two
Would we want to progress with without another player? Going forward, benefits would include faster pace and more individualized gameplay involving backgrounds and story points. Drawbacks would be less big combat scenes as well as a lack of skill coverage. 2019 has slowed down a bit, but the game is still fun for me.
I feel that a "Rule of Two" (Ha-ha!) gameplay going forward would be fine. I had plans for future RP'ing including, but not limited to, >>> tracking down some Hoth survivors, further swaying systems and persons to join the Alliance, enlisting the help of some outlaws, meeting the power players of the Anoat Sector, etc... The "next" path would unfold in the aftermath of the current situation. With a Triumph on the MC roll, one could capture the Commander. With a Despair? Perhaps reinforcements show up!

Re: OOC: The Assault on Ione
I am fine with two players. I've been thinking that my future games will be limited to a Mac of the players. I was even thinking of starting up a few single player games. That is in the background for the moment as I'm working on a side project for the forum that has been on the back burner for awhile.
