Robotech - Tales of the UEEF (Main)

[D. Rex]

We would need to stop to fire once we get in weapon range, wouldn't we?

And aren't the scouts and armored unarmed? So they would need to close the gap first? I remember in dnd you could only move so far per turn, I'm not sure how movement works in palladium.

 

[Sherwood]

The Armored Scouts do have ranged weapons on them; it is the regular Scout that is only equipped with claws. All of the Invid units have MDC armor on them, but the most delicate part of the body is the eyepiece. As long as you are eye to eye with them, you can make an Aimed Shot at that target and take them out with a relatively minor hit.

Movement is very loose in this game. I play that you can move and fire in the same melee action, and even with the long range of your cannons (8,000 feet for the Alpha's, and 12,000 feet for the Beta), they are going to be closing on you to get into range of their weapons at the same time you are flying towards them. Even at 'low' Mach speeds, it doesn't take long to close that distance.

[Orikanyo]

Sorry got busy with stuff.

"Alright folks! light em up! All cannons, FIRE!! And think of an actually cool name for these things." Grumpy added in on the last part before lining up his shot and firing on the eyepiece of the first scout.

 

[Sherwood]

The squad races in at high speed, and just before your weapons are in range, the Invid spot you and turn to attack. Grumpy lets fly with a shot from the cannon and it punches deep into the heart of the Armored Scout and it explodes.

Alex lines up his attack with the Synchro Cannon on Invid 2, and he gets his kill with a whoop.

Psychie is up next

Psychie you forgot to give me a damage roll, but since it is in the eyepiece, even with your minimum damage it is enough to kill the Armored Scout.

Closing in at around 7k feet away from the targets, she coasted to a halt. "Charlie to Pyrrah, breaking off." She said, and waiting for her peers confirmation before unlinking the Alpha from the beta.

She would drift a little bit away before switching the Alpha to guardian mode, she would then maneuver herself into position where she could get a good bead on the patrol.

Taking cover behind the nearest asteroid at that position, she readied her beam Cannon and began to carefully take aim at the eye of the leftmost scout. "How about Halberd, or Laser Lance?"

Aimed shot at Scout Eyepiece. She pulled the trigger.

 

[Sherwood]

Once more, the heavy weapon of the cannon fires out flawlessly and hits your mark, doing tremendous damage to the Invid and causing it to explode.

As your weapons begin to cycle up for another round, the asteroid suddenly seems to burst as dozens more Invid come flying out. There are ten Shock Troopers, ten Garn Inorganics, and two Enforcers. At this moment, you are about ten miles out from the asteroid, so if you want to disengage, you have one shot at it before you are in gun range of the Invid.

Orikanyo is up with action number one

[Orikanyo]

If Grumpy were to use his two photon torpedoes would he be able to blast a few within the radius easily?

 

[Sherwood]

Either group of the Inorganics are close enough to one another to be affected by the missile blast radius.

 

[Orikanyo]

"Ah fuck here they come! Firing torpedos!" Grumpy flipped into position before firing his proton torpedoes into the first group of garm inorganics.

 

[Sherwood]

The massive warheads fly out at high speed and explode in the midst of the first bunch of Inorganics with devastating results. The blast wave boots all five out of the air at once!

The two Enforcers turn their main cannons on Grumpy, trying to burn you put of the sky. They will hit unless you dodge.

Alex aims his Synchro Cannon at the first Enforcer, and the heavy weapon smashes the delicate eyepiece and kills the slug inside.

Shock Troopers 1-5 all decide to target Pyrrah with their guns. They will hit unless you dodge.

Psychie is up next, and you and Orikanyo have dodge rolls to make.

The training that the two pilots have gotten is good enough to let you both dodge the spray of fire at you.

Psychie is up next with your attack action.

 

[Psychie]

Pyrrah calls out, "Targeting the remaining Garn with a spread of medium range missiles. Launching!"

[Sherwood]

The spread of missiles manage to catch the importance in a combined blast radius and they all explode like glass.

The last five Shock Troopers fire a spread of plasma fire at Pyrrah. Three of the five will hit unless you dodge.

The two Armored Scouts fire on Charlise. They will hit unless you dodge.

Psychie has a dodge roll to make, and D. Rex is up and hasa defense roll to make, too.

Dodge roll for Pyrrah

Yikes. I might get hit.

 

[D. Rex]

Is there a difference between a dodge roll and a defense roll?

 

[Sherwood]

Depending on the type of attack, and what mode your mecha is in, you can try to parry the attack and take the damage on your arms or shield (If possible). The best thing to do is dodge if you can.

 

[Sherwood]

True enough, Pyrrah gets hit by two of the blasts, and you take a total of 56 MDC to your main body.

Charlie pulls back on the stick, to try and duck under the fire behind the asteroid she was taking cover by.

 

[Sherwood]

Your dodge effort is a good one, and you soon your Alpha out of the way with ease.

You still have your attack roll to make. Go for it!

Charlie readies her synchro cannon as she peeks the nose of her Alpha from the asteroid. She takes aim at the eyepiece of the remaining enforcer.


She would reengage her thrusters, taking her alpha behind another asteroid for cover.
