"This is Rein-4, AOD has been intercepted and is fragged. Splash one Tri, though... Switching to Fox ones..."

He selected the firebirds next, ripple firing them from their racks off the wing. Unfortunately, that left him with just three SRM's before going winchester.

Archer launches his Firebirds and then goes evasive to avoid the incoming alien missiles. His wing man, one of of the UN SPACY space fighter jocks who quickly transitioned to veritechs stay alive as well.

As the alien missiles are wreaking havoc among the UES Macross’ air group, the last volley Firebirds also wreak havoc amount the Tri-Thrusters and Command Pods. Only post battle analysis will determine whose missiles scored hits.

[Private to Aksa Tikkanen: Post battle analysis will show you took out two Tri-Thrusters]

[Private to Jack O'Neil: Post battle analysis will show you took out one Tri-Thruster]

After evading the incoming missiles there isn't much time to mourn any loses....

The approaching enemy squadrons of Tri-Thrusters and Command Pods (of which almost 50% of them have been destroyed) are now in range of the air groups AAM-1A Arrow missiles if fired in the standard attack profile. There is still 153 unidentified mecha approching, and 700 plus more (estimated to be the headless ostrich mecha) behind them. Both of these last groups are out of range of the AAM-1A Arrows.

OOC: At this point you can launch your AAM-1A Arrow missiles if you want, or save them for the upcoming dog fight. It is your choice as a player if you fire all three of your missiles, one, two or none. Strike bonus for these will be +5 (radar lock).

Even if you do not fire any missiles, I will need the following rolls from you so I can speed things up, and get the dogfight started (Archer’s post will be an example).

• A strike roll (with whatever you got for a head to head shot).
• A dodge roll (to avoid the enemies head to head shot)
• Dog Tail -15% to pilot skill (to see if you can get on the tail of an enemy craft)
• Reversal -35% to pilot skill (in case an enemy craft is on your six you can get into an attack position)
• Evasive Action -12% to pilot skill (in case both of the above rolls are crap you your you just have to maneuver to stay alive.

Archer saves his AAM-1A Arrow’s for the dogfight preferring not to have to begin the fight with guns as his only weapon option.

As the 'merge' begins Archer lines up with one of the alien Tri-Thruster fighters and opens up with his GU-11....

21:22, Today: Jack Archer rolled 7 using 1d20 with rolls of 7.  GU-11 long burst.

OOC: Yes you can decide to try and mix it up with a command pod, but they will have MUCH better bonuses then the Tri-Thrusters in terms of strike and dodge rolls.

[Private to Lameck Phiri:
FYI for you: For the 'guns pass' and subsequent actions you can use the head lasers while Aksa uses the GU-11. Also your ECM roll is going to affect the enemies strike roll during the head to head pass where they will get no bonuses.)]

Knowing that his missiles will most likely be used in the upcoming dog fight Jack save his remaining missiles and instead use his GU-11.

19:12, Today: Jack O'Neil rolled 11 using 1d20+5 ((6)).

19:13, Today: Jack O'Neil rolled 30 using 1d20+13 with rolls of 17.  dodge.

19:15, Today: Jack O'Neil rolled 40 using 1d100 with rolls of 40.  dog tail. success

19:20, Today: Jack O'Neil rolled 81 using 1d100 with rolls of 81.  Evasive Action. fail



OOC: Well...hopefully I will survive :(

Aksa reserves her missiles and enters the merge taking aim on the nearest enemy.

In reply to Aksa Tikkanen (msg # 11):

Seeing a couple more targets die out was not a bad thing. Gangnam's tally hit three. Two more, and he'd be an ace. Such as it was in a target-rich environment. Still, he wanted the title. At least it could be inscribed on his epitaph. He tried again to fix on targets "SWITCH TO TARGETING COMPUTER" he said to himself in a Red-1 voice.With AOD's and firebirds spent, all he had was Arrows, though he was not afraid to use them, then ejecting the empty racks...

He can feel an anger rising within his chest.  This young attorney turned pilot.   These beings have come to his home, attacked without provocation, injured and killed innocent people.  He attempts to coax his plane into a spiral, be while firing his last three arrow Missiles at what he believes to be one of the command pods coming at him.
While unable to get his plane into the spiral for a second attempt, he breaks into evasive maneuvers to avoid being shot down.

Despite being outnumbered nearly 2.5 to one, the alien Tri-Thrusters and the Command Pod w/space boosters speed up their attack profile and begin to ‘merge’ with 272 Veritechs, 64 space fighters, and 39 UCAV’s that comprise of the UES Macross’ air group.

Seven Tri-thrusters collide with the human aerospace craft and mecha. At the velocities involved it is more then enough to outright destroy both alien and human aerospace craft. Pieces of veritechs, Tri-Thrusters, and the bodies of tri-thruster pilots scatter in all directions. None of the collisions looked to be deliberate.

With more human craft then alien, many of the alien craft are targeted by more then one human craft, in some cases

---

Archer misses with his GU-11 burst and is subsequently hit by the triple burst of the Tri-Thrusters nose mounted cannon. The VF-1 sustains some minor damage to the fuselage and moderate damage to the right intake/upper leg.

Archer then manages to get into the Tri-Thrusters ‘kill slot'...

-20 MDC to main body
-40 MDC to right upper leg
Next melee Archer can attack on action #1 without getting fired upon (no dodge needed on action#1).
Archer and the Tri-Thurster are face to face and can fire on one another after action #1.

16:38, Today: Darkside Trooper rolled 13 using 1d20 with rolls of 13.  tri-thruster shoot archer +5.

Jack’s burst with his GU-11 misses, and he manages to jink his VF-1J at the last second to avoid the burst of energy weapons fire from the Tri-Thruster's nose cannon.

Aksa & Phiri find that the ‘nearest enemy’ to them is the same Tri-Thruster that lined up on O’Neil. While Aksa’s GU-11 cannon fire misses, Phiri manages to hit the crafts fuselage with the FRS.1DS’s head lasers.

O’Neil’s VF-1J, Aksa’s FRS.1DS, and alien Tri-Thruster spin around to face each other. The Tri-Thruster finds itself facing two opponents....

17:06, Today: Darkside Trooper rolled 9 using 1d20 with rolls of 9.  tri-thruster shoot O'Neil +5. Dodged

Of the three AAM-1 Arrows launched by Pak only one hits. Jennsen also launches all three of his AAM-1 Arrow missiles as well. Of those fired by Jennsen only one hits, hitting the same Tri-Thruster as his wing man (Pak) did.

This particular Tri-Thruster takes serious damage from the two missile hits but appears to remains still in the fight as it goes after Oggy 12. Oggy 12 then ends up with the Tri-Thruster on her tail, as Pak fails to get on the Tri-Thruster’s tail...and doesn’t have an immediate angle of attack.

[Private to Gun Ho Pak: If you want to get on the tail of the Tri-Thruster on Oggy 12’s tail you will need to make a dog tail roll (each attempt costs an action) until you pass. After you pass you can make strike rolls against the enemy.]

Jennsen, having going defensive as the merge began, quickly realizes that he doesn’t have an enemy mecha on his tail, and finds himself in a position to assist another member of the squadron who does have an enemy craft on their tail.

Oggy12’s wingman, Espada 10 also ends up with a Tri-Thruster on his tail and is unable to assist Oggy 12.

[Private to Douglas Jennsen: If you want to get on the tail of the Tri-Thruster on either Oggy 12’s or Espada 10’s tail you will need to make a dog tail roll (each attempt costs an action) until you pass. After you pass you can make strike rolls against the enemy.]

OOC: Pak and Jennsen can post ASAP (your not getting shot at). I will be getting subsequent posts up for the Tri-Thrusters engaging everyone else.

If you still have AAM-1 Arrows, Don't forget that they have infra red guidance (just don't miss you might hit  a friendly), and can be used in the optional high speed attack profile for an additional bonus to strike.

The Tri-Thruster facing off against O'Neil, and Aksa alternates its nose cannon fire at between both veritechs, firing on O’Neil’s VF-1J first, then on Aksa.

09:59, Today: Darkside Trooper rolled 22 using 3d20 with rolls of 3,15,4.  tri-thruster shoot O'Neil +0 (odd actions). No bonus due to jamming from Phiri

10:36, Today: Darkside Trooper rolled 24 using 3d20 with rolls of 7,15,2.  tri-thruster shoot Aksa +0 (even actions). No bonus due to jamming from Phiri

The Tri-Thruster being tailed by Archer attempts to evade the missile fired at it. Archer’s AAM-1 missile blows off the back one-third of the Tri-Thruster fighter, causing the aerospace craft to spin un controllable off into space.

OOC: Aksa, Phrir, and O'Neil can post now. Please add a dog tail roll which will be used to acquire a different target if you end up killing this one before the end of the melee. Please (please designate your target (i.e Tri-Thruster going after so and so), and a 2nd target as well.

Archer attempts to fire one of his AAM-1 Arrows up the tail pipe of the Tri-Thruster he is chasing. After watching the missile blow off the back one third of the alien aerospace craft he maneuver to assist Espada 10, as he anouces over the squadron’s radio frequency. “Try to put an Arrow up their tail pipe! Maneuvering to assist Espada Ten.” Sliding into the kill slot of that Tri-Thruster Archer opens up with his GU-11

10:45, Today: Jack Archer rolled 20 using 1d20 with rolls of 20.  AAM-1 high spd w/IR guidance +8.
NAT 20!!!!

11:11, Today: Jack Archer rolled 9 using 2d8 with rolls of 1,8.  dmg possible hit (19).

Action 1: Arrow at tri-Thruster, NAT 20 (160 MDC)
Action 2: Assist Espada 10, PASS
Action 3: Unat 27 (crit hit), 180 MDC (-100 to engine, -80 to main body)

Action 5: MISS
Action 6: MISS
Action 7: Unat 22, 110 MDC (-100 to engine, -10 to main body)

OOC: So it looks like short GU-11 bursts with APDS ammo will at least take out the engines and disable the Tri-Thruster if the dodges fail.

The Tri-Thruster on Espada 10’s tail opens up with its nose cannons, and maneuvers to evade any incoming fire.

Espada 10, Reindeer 9.  On my way to help.
He attempts to dogtal the tri-thruster a couple of times.  When he finally gets the bogey in his sights, he fires a continuous beam from the laser turret at the bottom, aiming for the thrusters, followed by a couple of bursts from the nose cannon, also at the thrusters, in the hopes of finishing it off.

In reply to Douglas Jennsen (msg # 21):

<b>"Oggy 12, check six and take evasive. You've got a tri on you!"</b> He maneuvered using his gunsight to lead the tri-thruster for a burst of GU-11; firing again if he missed or the ship survived the blast, and then another for good measure. He strived to keep the target in his sights, but briefly lost him following behind in a low scissors. Pak tried to reverse and stay on his nearest target's tail.

[Private to Aksa Tikkanen; Jack O'Neil; Lameck Phiri: So neither the Tri-Thruster on Oggy 12 or Espada 10 is gonna be 100% dead from the other characters attacks.

If you do finish off the Tri-Thruster one of you could go after each of the Tri-Thrusters.

So please make your strike rolls for half (or 3) of your actions, I'll asses and let you know if your Tri-Thruster is dead or not.

Once we know it's dead you can make dog tail rolls (until you pass) to help out either Oggy 12 or Espada 10.

Even if your last action is the only dogtail that passes, you'll start the next melee on the Tri-Thruster's tail.]

Aksa narrows her eyes on the target in front of her and then does her utmost to remove it from her sky.

She unloads a pair of Long, and then a single short burst as insurance.

The Tri-Thruster facing off against Reindeer 17 and Vermillion 7 doesn’t last long. Both pilots hammer the alien aerospace fighter with 55mm rounds. Reindeer’s WSO also hits the craft with the head lasers. Despite being heavily damaged both pilots and WSO follow up with more weapons fire. Reindeer 17’s GU-11 burst, and head laser fire goes wide, but Vermillion 7 burst of GU-11 fire connects.

Scorpion 22, and Reindeer 9 maneuver to assist Espada 10. Both veritech’s get on the tail of the Tri-Thruster on Espada 10’s tail.

OOC: Everything up to the end of action three is resolved. Aksa, and O’Neil can now post actions from action 3 onward.

[Private to Aksa Tikkanen:
You can move this to the action after your dog tail pass, or I guess you can re-roll to strike, but if the re-roll is a fail you’ll have to accept it. The Unat 14 is probably gonna be dodged, so it might be better to re-roll. Of course, you can see what the Tri-Thruster’s dodges are.
Action 3: UNAT 14 (Short) 90 MD]

Aksa emits a slight grunt of satisfaction as the alien craft comes apart. She looks over the situation and then turns her nose towards the furball involving Oggy 12.

"Diver, Vixen, good shot; moving to Oggy 12." She calls out and then deftly brings her bird around behind the enemy fighter.

Action 3: Dog-Tail Roll of 4 v 57% (72%-15): CRIT PASS

She then unloads a long burst into it, then a pair of short burst.

Action 4: UNAT 29 (Long Burst) 110 Damage
Action 5: UNAT 24 (Short Burst) 30 Damage
Action 6: UNAT 22 (Short Burst) 90 Damage

Scorpion 22, and Reindeer 9 manage to take out two of the Tri-Thrusters engines while the Tri-Thruster manages to connect with two of the energy bursts from its nose cannon. The damage done to Espada 10 isn’t too bad.

Now with only one engine, the Tri-Thruster vectors towards the UES Macross itself despite still having a pair of veritechs on its tail.

Reindeer 4 breaks off allowing Reindeer 17 and Vermilion 7 to fire on the Tri-Thruster chasing Oggy 12. Oggy 12 manages to remain unscathed, and the combined fire from Reindeer 17’s pilot and WSO destroys the Tri-Thruster’s the second and third engine. Vermilion 7 shots all miss. The Tri-Thruster spins off into space and the forward section containing the pilot is heavily damaged.

The few surviving alien craft (less than a dozen) begin to vector towards apparently intent on trying to do some damage to the UES Macross. A number of veritechs follow these craft while new orders are given out.



OOC: Archer and Jennsen can make one strike roll on the Tri-Thruster they are following. If you continue to fire after action 1 please include dodge rolls

Everyone else if you have any missiles left (you do have radar locks) you can fire them at the inbound battliods.

Even if you do not intend to fire, or are out of missiles please post.
