Player Units


This message was last edited by the GM at 13:24, Thu 15 Aug 2013.

It's been a few days since the Rat Pack has made planetfall.

They slowly start to acclimate themselves to the local environment and accept the situation theyve been dealt.  It would appear that they are under the employ of a unit known as the 101st Combat Group.  Who's combat group they are remains a question that is unanswered at this time.

It's enough at this point that theyve been hired to defend the planet from Team Banzai who are going about committing war crimes against the Ares Convention by actively engaging and inflicting civilian casualties.

Ling has been pulled from the Rat Pack, to provide the footage she's taken during the drop of numerous violations inflicted on the locals of Miller's Creek.  She has been detached from Rat Pack duty to gather similiar evidence occuring around Detroit for the next few days.

It's not all bad news though, militia elements that have survived the initial attack start to filter into Miller's creek.  Support in the town is shaky.  Team Banzai has already demanded the unconditional surrender of the town, which has so far stoicaly refused.  Nerves are short though, and the mercs have to wonder exactly how long the civilians nerves will hold out.

There are Seven levels of victory
{Total Victory, Decisive Victory, Tactical Victory, Draw, Tactical Defeat, Decisive Defeat, Total Defeat}

The Rat Pack will lose two level of Victory for each Rat Pack 'defeated'.
The Rat Pack will lose one level of Victory for each Infantry Squad Eliminated.

The Rat Pack will gain one level of Victory for every 15 tons of Conventional units defeated
The Rat Pack will gain two levels of Victory for each Mech defeated

Duration:  This mission will last for 10 combat turns.

Current Map http://www.angelickitten.com/rpol/rp/M2t0.jpg

Set Up ...

The Rat Pack is assigned 11 'squads' of (7) Civilians.  They are placed out and around the town in the buildings.
Hint:  Do keep the infantry close to each other, to make defending them easier.
Hint:  Do not stack your infantry, doing so will make a larger/easier target to eliminate.
Hint:  The buildings will absorb 1/4 of the damage inflicted on the infantry.

Players set up within 3 hexes of any Building or Civilian on the map.

Op Force weighs in at 85 tons and sets up within 6 hexs of the South Edge

Please give me the 11 squads of infantry and the mech placements. I'll need some time to set up the map.

How are folks doing for the Garrison Mission
I'd like to get Infantry and Mech locations. It will take me a few days to get the map updated after I get your locations. So expect a start date of Monday, if I can get locations on Friday.

I started a discussion about infantry locs as they will be where we do our Mech drops but haven't gotten any traction yet...but I'm also not in command anymore ;)

Will poke again.

Friday I'm seeing a family friend in the hospital after work but I think we(I) can come up with a plan by Saturday morning.  I have access to chatting online just no way to mess with maps.

Question:

Are all building repair  ie full structure points or are a number of them weakened from the earlier battle?

And does that make a different to the damage a squad takes in the building?

An enemy force closed in on Miller's Creek. There orders were to eliminate the enemy infantry and to cripple the Rat Pack mercenaries as much as possible. Four vehicles were traveling at a high rate of speed north. A pair of mechs were in close formation. A pair of heavy ferrets were flying in formation from the west.

Lucius spotted the same units that the others did and he swiftly moved his Fire Javelin to a better position.  Backpeddling around a copse of trees he knew that the Ferrets wouldn't be bothered by them but the ground units would.  It was his job to clear the air of the scum...

09:54, Today: Lucius McMurphy rolled 4 using 2d6 with rolls of 1,3. Initiative Round 1 of 10, TN6+. Great way to begin.

Walk, Back 3, Left Turn 1 SE, Back 2, End 1414 Facing SE [+2]

Henriette looked south as the hostiles appeared on her radar, a quick thought to the speed of the AMC's made her stay where she was, it would give her the best firing solution on the wheels coming up the road, hopefully she could  off one of them, maybe even two if she got lucky.
"Incoming boss, I'll give these wheeels a warm welcome"
With that she prepared to aim and fire at  the frontmost hostile.


Initiative, TN 5 -1 (tactics)+3 (opfor) = tn 7+
Roll: 5, Failed.

Move:
Hold position.

"Stand down Lieutenant. This doesn't involve offworlders. We are here to deal with these armed terrorist." The voice over the communication channel continued, "Do not hinder us. Any action against our forces will be met with hostiles."




Just waiting on Pax's initative. Then I'll move the OP Force and update the map.

OPEN COMM back at 'em
Anger creeps into Tarkin's voice, "You slime suckers are here to try and finish off the men, women , AND CHILDREN that are still trying to hang on here.  We already have enough footage of you slime murdering these people.

Too bad you aren't brave or honorable enough to come out here and fight real threats.  I think you missed stepping on some slugs on the way to your out house this morning.  That would smell better than what you toilet slime brought with you.

I'm calling you out murderer.  Think you can take a little ol' MONGOOSE with your old piece of recycled garbage.

What's the matter ???? Mongoose got your tongue? 

The Mongoose uses it's right arm for a 'come get some' motion.

19:24, Today: Pax Tarkin rolled 7 using 2d6 with rolls of 1,6. INIT Pax mod # 2 +3 pen adj = PSR5. PASS

The Op Force moved quickly to engage. The two heavy ferrets moved at flank speed to the north as it picked up Infantry in the northwest quadrant. The vehicles rushed up the unrestricted road toward their targets. The Locust ran toward the Mongoose in an apparent answer to the challenge. The Wasp followed to support the Locust.

"If you stand with them, then you must be terrorist as well."

Let me double-check if the Def for the VTOL is +4 or +5

EDIT
Got confirmation that it is DEF +5 for the VTOL

"Targets sighted, engaging..."

Lucius twisted his torso to the south as his estimations of where the VTOL's were going were more in line that he had imagined.  They were at the far reach of his targeting reticle but it would be enough if he could clip their rotors.  Pulling the trigger he unleashed a barrage of las fire up at the 'copters in the hops of downing one of the two.  Two of the shots went careening by but the other two appeared to splash along the side and the very rotors themselves.  Not enough to take it out of the air but certainly some smoke was pouring frmo the assembly.

To Hit: (Medium Laser x4) Base 3 + Move 1 + Target 4 or 5 = TN8+ or TN9+
Heat: 12 (Weapons) + 1 (Movement) - 10 Heat Sinks 12 Heat Sinks = 3 1

09:13, Today: Lucius McMurphy rolled 11,7,8,6 using 2d6,2d6,2d6,2d6 with rolls of 6,5,5,2,5,3,3,3. Medium 1/2/3/4 vs Ferret 1116 TN8/9.

09:14, Today: Lucius McMurphy rolled 12,5 using 2d6,2d6 with rolls of 6,6,2,3. Loc 5 Dmg, Maybe Loc 5 Dmg.
1 Damage Rotors, -1 MP, Critical Potential
09:18, Today: Lucius McMurphy rolled 5 using 2d6 with rolls of 4,1. Critical on Ferret Rotors.  No Critical
5 Damage Maybe to Right Side

If the second one hit you know where it goes, if not no worries, my first hit would put the fear of god in them ;)

09:49, Today: Lucius McMurphy rolled 3 using 2d6 with rolls of 1,2. Initiative Round 2 of 10 TN5+. Amazing

EDIT
Got confirmation that it is DEF +5 for the VTOL
So...
Rotor was hit. 5/10 = 1point to Rotor

Henriette turned her torso to the side, and fired all four medium lasers at one of the apc's, two of them hit clean in the side, searing through armor with ease, unfortunately two other shots went wide, and missed.
