Army of the Southern Cross

[Orikanyo]

"Fireing!" the man lined up his shot and fired upon FPA 1, starting off the beginning of what will be a very unfortunate series of events for the group below.

 

[Sherwood]

The deadly shell flies out and slams into your target.

Psychie is up next

Damage for the FPA

 

[Psychie]

With her sabot round already loaded, she aims at the damaged FPA suit to finish it off.

Spoiler: Ammo Loadout

19 sabot
5 Plasma
5 HEAP
5 Canister
5 MPAT
3 Smoke

 

[Sherwood]

Seeing how Moira's shot goes a bit off target, Eric tries to finish off the wounded Zentraedi unit himself. This shot is fortunate enough to do the trick. The suit of powered armor explodes, showering the area with shrapnel.

Silanon is up with Fia

[Psychie]

"Good shot, Eric!" Moira changes the channel and calls out, "Tiger Eye 05, where is that air support you promised? We have a target rich environment here, and could use the help."

 

[Sherwood]

The reply comes back down to Moira. "Flying Hussars, the Black Cats are in route, ETA one minute. Hold on down there; we won't leave you out in the cold."

 

[Orikanyo]

"Winged hussars." heinrich grumbled under his breath on group comm.

 

[AldarisLordOfLight]

"I for one would rather that they call us Hussars, Sarge." Adrian commented as he continued typing and watching the scanners, intent on maintaining some semblance of vision against the enemy.

 

[Silanon]

"Winged or not, flying hussars just sounds stupid - gotta make sure that name doesn't stick. Got a fricking midge on my screens" - a little pause, the slap of a hand against the dashboard - "think I got it. Opening fire at the closest one, armor-piercng round on the way."

 

[Sherwood]

Critical Strike! The sabot round penetrates the FPA suit, instantly killing the pilot.

Surprise round is now over, moving onto the regular melee round. AldarisLordOfLight is up with your first attack/action of the round.

[AldarisLordOfLight]

"Eh, whatever works. As long as it ain't that." Adrian stressed the last word remembering what the bloody reinforcements called them. "Tsk! Can't get a good look at them from here. When one of you fine gentlemen or ladies move forward with your Spartas, I'll move up a bit. I'm practically armored with paper rather than steel. Anywho! Time to screw with your day, assholes." He growled in the end. With his hands furiously typing, he commences another Electronic Assault; this time, against a Regult-1 instead of the Officer Pod.

 

[Sherwood]

Adrian unleashes his Myrmidon's electronic arsenal against the first Regult. At this point, you are fairly sure that it is suffering the effects of the jamming, but until it has a chance to respond to your attack, you won't know for sure.

Orikanyo is up

"Good work, now, on those FPAs, they'll be returning fire soon!" heinrich lined up his shot with FPA three, loading in a sabot round, which would be his last for a bit.. Damn cannon, can't be to mad mind as it IS a very handy tool.

 

[Sherwood]

The Female Power Armor tries to dodge, but Heinrich manages to track on her well enough to score a solid hit, not enough to destroy her, but you rang her bell pretty good.

The Glaug powers up its radar as it spins its main particle cannon to face the onslaught from the hover tanks. It aims at Heinrich and fires, and it will hit unless you dodge.

FPA 3 kicks on her jets and takes to the air, accelerating at high speed towards you.

The two Artillery Pods jump up and land on the riverbank. Pod 1 targets Adrian with six missiles, and Pod 2 fires six missiles at Moira. They will hit unless you either shoot them down or use your Chaff to spoof them.

FPAs 4-6 also fire off their jets and begin to accelerate towards you.

Psychie is up, and AldarisLordOfLight and Orikanyo need to declare a defense. Six missiles can't be dodged, but you can use your Chaff/Flares as a defense, giving you a 75% chance to confuse the incoming missiles so that they miss.

[Sherwood]

Forgot to roll the bones.

 

[Orikanyo]

Heinrich engages his Chaff to possibly confuse the missiles. "their coming, lets get to it!"

You were targeted by the particle beam, not missiles. If you want, you can roll to dodge. Don't forget your bonuses.

(Ssssssshhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh, I knew that... 6.6")

 

[Psychie]

Moira hears the threat alert system going off from the incoming missiles. As she aims her main gun at the damaged Female Powered Armor, she also triggers off her defensive Chaff and Flares to try to keep the missiles from hitting.

 

[Sherwood]

Moira is able to confuse the incoming missiles, but is rattled by the detonation of the warheads around you. At the same time, your main cannon roars, sending the heavy shell down range at the damaged Zentraedi unit. It catches her in a grazing hit, but it was enough to disable the armor and send her falling out of the sky.

Heinrich is not able to dodge the attack, and your tank takes a total of 60 MDC to the main body.

Regults 1-4 are all well out of range to fire back, so they begin to leap/run their way towards you.

Eric swivels his rig around to aim at FPA 4, and he scores a critical hit, destroying the enemy in a single shot!

Regult 5-8 also leap from the river and begin to advance at high speed.

Silanon is up, and AldarisLordOfLight needs to declare and roll a defense for the missiles.

[Psychie]

Now that the main gun has fired twice and needs to cool down, Moira shifts her mecha to Battloid mode to get ready to engage the enemy. (That is, if I can between actions.)

 

[Sherwood]

You can transform if you wish. It doesn't take up an action.

 

[AldarisLordOfLight]

"Oh you sons of bitches! I hate missiles!" Adrian slammed his fist at the terminal before him. He quickly activates the Chaff system of his Myrmidon all the while cursing the enemy under his breath in their native language.

 

[Sherwood]

Since your EW pods can function in any of your modes, it would make the most sense for you to be in your Battloid mode to have access to your shields to be able to block fire like this. You can, if you'd like, split the damage between the two shields.

It is a total of 310 MDC. If you split it, each shield can take 155 points.
